Doug, I have used the following approach to run bar end shifter cabling beneath ESI grips: - Remove the shifters from the bars and fully withdraw the cable from the housing. - Re-insert the cable into the housing leaving the shifter out of the equation at this point. - Secure the housing with the cable in place to the bars by taping it just forward of the area which will be covered by the grip. Let the cable extend an inch or so beyond the end of the bar. - Lubricate the interior of the grip and the bar along with the cable with a suitable product. I recommend alcohol gel hand sanitizer. (once the alcohol evaporates the grip will be secure) - Slide the grip over the bar and cable housing - douse the bar with additional sanitizer if necessary. Work quickly. - With the grip in place adjust the position of the housing then withdraw the cable. - Install the mount for the shifter and then thread the cable through the shifter lever, the mount and back into the housing. - Pull or push the cable forward to bring the lever into position on its mount and secure it in place. - There you have it!
