They look like the old Onza's i have used for years. On the install issue, yes, they just clamp onto the end of the bars. You have a couple of options here.

1. Carefully mark and cut the necessary amount off of your grips to give room at end of bar to clamp on bar ends,

or

2. Move shifters and brake levers inwards a bit, cut open the ends of your grips, (just a circlular cut on the end of the grip so it can slide further onto bar) and slide them inboard as well, clamp on the bar ends and then move everything back out as far as it will go.

I use option two if bar width allow this.
