Bar ends

[ryanschoebel]

I ordered some new grips from Rev Zilla (sorry Randy, i didnt want foam haha), and they are gettinmg delivered today. So I went out to putt my old grips and bar ends off, and my non throttle side is completely frozen. The throttle side came right off, but i cannot get the other. I think i read somewhere that the clutch side has a bolt, but not the throttle side? is that why I cant twist it off with channel locks?

Worst comes to worst, ill drill it off. But i would like to avoid that (even though i have already munched it a little bit.

Thanks,

Ryan

I used an impact air tool to get one off my '86. The shock load does wonders for corrosion stuck threads. If you don't have one then ride to an auto/bike repair location and ask if they can get it loose.

Unfortunately, my is very stripped. I'll try, but we will see. So no bolt through the center?

Alright, i got it, after 2 days of messing with this thing. Turns out, the PO completely cross threaded it, and thats why it wouldnt come off. I was only able to get it by putting a pipe wrench on it, and then taking a butane torch, heating it for about 30 seconds, and then hitting the pipe wrench with a hammer. it still took a LOT of force to take it out one it broke loose, but its out.

On a completely  unrelated note, does anyone have some spare bar ends that they would be willing to sell me?

Thanks,

You could get Vibranators from RPM, users have reported good things about them. RPM might also have access to new OEM ends as well.
