i did it for the first time ever...very easy to do... its hard to mess up because the tape has so much give that if you ever go off angle or anything you can easily readjust it...

the only 2 important tips are to make you sure leave alot of slack/spare tape at the bar ends for plugging into the bar... and then wrap it so that on top of the handlebars the tape roll over and towards you
