What type of bars do you have?  The stock ones?  I have a set of Srinath's handlebars and they have a 7/8" open end.  I just went and got some Lockhart Phillips bar ends and they worked fine.  I had to shave the rubber down a bit, but that took about 20 seconds.

Unfortunately the stock bars will only accept screw in type bar ends, and not the rubber expansion style.

Yes they will work and score for the $$$ ... If you wnat it in all the way you might have to shave a little off the shank part on the bar end... easy, its soft aluminum... use some 80 grit sand paper... 3 mins is more than enough. Try it first ...
Cool.
Srinath.

jkstyle:  those are the exact same ones I purchased, and I also have Srinath's bars.  The nut goes in just fine, but the rubber is just a hair thick.  I had to take a knife and thin down the rubber.  Just shave a little bit off of it.
