Can anyone tell me how to get the inserts out of the ends of the handlbars? My bar-ends seem to be sticking out a little bit (there is some space between then and the grips) and when I tried to fix it I couldn't remove the inserts that the bar-ends bolt into.

Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about? Do I need to go home and take pictures?

Thanks,
Peter

There's a little C-shaped clip that hold them in. The clip itself can be removed by popping the ends out of their little locator holes on the sides of the bar.

Once I do that should they slide out relatively easily?

They may be crusty and the rubber degraded, so shoot some WD40 up in there. But other than that, thread the bar end back on and yank.

Oh.... kinky blackbird porno... :lol:















Look at what you guys are doing to me! :???: :shock: :grin:

Getting mine out was a pain..Needle noise vice grips and a thin flat screw driver. THe retaining clip is really the only tricky part.. Work one end out then reposition the screwdriver around the lips still attached..Once the clip is out put the stock barend bolt in and grab a hold with a good set of plyers... Wiggle up and down up and down up and down :lol: and is will SSLLLOOOWWWLLLYYY work its way out..

ps spit helps!!! :wink:

Get a pair of Throttlemeister Cruise control bar end weights. They come with a little collar to extract the weight to use their insert. A 2 minute job. Really have enjoyed my cruise control..

I bought a set of the Tnhrottlemeister Cruise Control Bar Ends and it does come with a "puller" tool to remove the stock bar end inserts.

Can anyone who has fitted these help with tips on how to fit them. I notice that the instructions call for a torque for the installation. How critical is this?

lock it down tight and add some blue locktight glue.. check peroidically and enjoy your new wrist freedom...
