Changed your bar ends?

[Mister Paul]

I once saw a Honda step-thru with hand guards made out of an orange builder's bucket cut in half.

Well, I don't have a friend who is a machinist, and I couldn't find handlebar end weights of the size that I want, so bought some made for Vespas taht are 1kg each and much longer, but are flat on the inside and too large in diameter. Rather than replace the stock handlebar end weights, I stacked them on top and glued them in place with silicone caulk. I had to use M6-1.00 x 80mm stainless bolts to hold them in place. Here's a picture:

I'll post more once I get the M6-1.00 100mm bolts I need to mount the muffs onto the modified handlebar ends.

Bar end bolts are simple to remove , if you think outside the box !! Dont undo the bolt !! Get an old innertube from pushbike, cut some off to wrap around bar end , with an adjustable pipe wrench grab on and twist !! After this ,hey presto the bolt will loosen like a charm !!

Hope this is helpful ,for future reference
