I'm moving to an 11-speed setup on my TT bike and have fitted the rear derailleur and have a pair of Shimano Dura Ace SL-BSR1 bar end shifters arriving shortly. Searching online for guides on how to install these correctly didn't throw up much results and the Shimano manuals don't have all that much details. I've found it tricky in the past to install bar end shifters as it seems there's a correct configuration for the lever boss, the lever, and the little toothed washer and it was a case of trial and error for me last time and I wasn't sure I wasn't damaging something.

So I wanted to try save some time and hassle when the parts arrive by reading up and getting advice beforehand - are there any decent guides out there on how to install these bar end shifters correctly or any key pointers folks might suggest? Thanks.
