Bar-ends ... a tragic tale

[slowkitty]

Not much of a tale .. mine vibrated off the bike. yes, it happened!

 

Now for the real questions:

 

a. Any non Guzzi bike out there with similar bar-ends?

 

b. Where can I buy them originals and how much?

 

Thanks for the help, guys.

 

Cheers

Should still be available through your local friendly Guzzi dealer. Depending on the model, the cost should be around £8.00 - £18.00 each.

At Moto Intl., we offer a set that are heavier and do a better job . . . or we may have the stock ones, depending on what year and model your bike is.

I would love to get rid of my barends and put some mirrors in there instead, but I just cant get the bloody things off. Unlike SlowK's, mine have vibrated themselves ON.

I grip the bar with a suitable plier and try to screw the barends off, but I end up twisting the bar itself and dont dare to use more force on it. Stuck. Tried several times.

 

Any clues to a solution?

I have some used lying around. You can have them for shipping costs. You only need the weights?

Great stuff, Japp, what I see now (from the diagram) is the hex screw [26] is still holding the handle in, a pen-size metal tube [28] which should go into the bar-end. This tube has a hole across it, probably for a pin [20] which went with the bar-end. I am not sure if [27] is still there. I can probably fashion another pin using my other side's pin as a sample if you do not have it. Please let me know how much to Singapore and I will PayPal the shipping to ya.

 

 

Thanks loads, I am grateful for this.

Ship your bars to Slowkitty for an exchange! (assuming they are both the same type) ...and you might have to leave the rubber grips on.

If needed I have parts 28, 27 and know that 20 is just a simple roll pin easily obtained. I installed new high rise clip ons and had to fab up the stock weight with other "things".
