I bought a pair of stock bar ends (rubber expander type) before realizing I had aftermarket bars (were already on the bike when I bought it). The rubber pieces which expand to hold the bar ends in place were all crumbled apart when I got them so I couldn't test them out for fit. I want to buy the rubber pieces off of Ron Ayers or Bike Bandit but wanted to know if anyone knew for sure that the bar ends would fit. I'm pretty sure the only way to know is to buy the pieces and give them a try but was hoping someone might know. Thanks all
and yes, I need to replace my throttle tube and grip as well
Wow, do those bars have any pull back at all or just flat out straight bars??? they should fit fine if they are a 7/8" bar. I changed mine out to drag bars and both the rubber expander type fit as well as the motrax bar end mirrors fit. Get a top view pic of that thing would ya.
I cant see the pic from work, but the drag bars are rolled and welded super super thin walled sheetmetal types. See bending a thick tube is easier than bending a thin tube. If you have to just bend it a hair, they will do the thinnest sheite possible. You may be unable to fit it, it has a burr inside and very very thin wall.
Cool.
Buddha.

Bombadillo,
Thanks for the info. I will measure to see if they are 7/8". The bars have a very slight pull back. Will get a top view pic up tomorrow (gettin ready for work at the moment).
thanks, I'd like to see. I have drag bars on mine too, but they have about 3 inches I'd guess (maybe less) of pull back and it looks really clean in my opinion.

They are 7/8" or else they wouldn't fit right in the clamps, and your controls wouldn't fit right.

Oh, yeah... :oops:
Added some pics of the bars to the first thread if anyone's interested. I'm going to order the rubber expander pieces for the bar ends and then give them a try.
right on, thanks for the pics. I swear from the first you put up it looked like you got some pipe from the hardware store and threw it on :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Now that I can see it it looks just like mine.
