Dunno what the stock bar ends are but I use early to mid 90's GSXR 600 bar ends.

Why do you need to replace the bar end weight? Isn't your weight just hunk of metal? Can you touch up the paint and reinstall?

Sometimes they get messed up pretty bad and crack.Not unusual for the screw to get bent.They're crap.

My bike also blew over... but without a cover.  Now when I put the bike on the sidestand I push the bike into the direction of the stand and the stand slides a bit causing the bike to lean a little more.  This has seemed to work since then... haven't come out to a big pile of oil and a bunch of scraped parts lately  :mad:
