Heck, put a drop of soap into it for lubrication, grab it with a rag so it doesn't slip out of your hand, and just shove. Ten seconds, tops.
A big (+1) with the Gone.
Is there a pick of the "split RLET"? Maybe the Forum can learn something from its sacrifice.

No pic, I'm afraid, GO... the event was all too tragic. VERY upsetting.....It was gently 'laid to rest' on a bed of motorcycle magazines with full motorcycle honours (playing in the background a Stanley Schofield recording of Mike Hailwood's 350 Honda Six, screaming down the Glencrutchery Road on the Isle of Man). It was a very moving ceremony...
I agree that "soap" is probably the way to go - it was how all old British 'bike handlebar grips were fitted 'back in the day', and none if this "special Honda handlebar grip adhesive" nonsense ! They mention the adhesive in the workshop manual. My mistake was to not soften it first in hot water, and then use a thin screwdriver to try and slide it on.
Anyhows, hot water, a splash of WD40 and my trusty new tool, the "RLET-go", and Bingo! on it went!
