Title: WTB Bar end weight

Lost the right bar end wieight on a ride.  Is there a good aftermarket or does someone have a extra they'd sell? 
Thanks

Do you need the rubber bushings or if you used those, are they still inside your bars? Can you check on what you actually need? I have half a dozen bar ends but only 2 sets of the rubber bushings. Want to hold onto those for someone that needs them, which is why I ask if you need those.

I need the whole assembly.  It was found loose at a stop on the ride to the point it came right out.  We forced it back in thinking it would be okay but was gone when we got home.  If you could sell me one assembly I'd appreciate it.  Pay pal or whatever you'd like.
Thanks

I can do one for $10 + $6 P&H (and no, if you act the next 10 minutes I will not double your order and it is not a "risk free trial".LOL Too much late night TV.)

Remember to tighten the screw or it will fall out again. Maybe your inner nut fell off so it wouldn't tighten up?

Sold.  Let me know the paypal or whatever.  PM or email:    tmikemac at comcast dot net   The daughter had her inevitable first drop onto the right side that I think now may have loosened tahe bar end a bit.  At least she got that out of the way in a quiet, controlled low risk environment.
Thanks again.

That's them. They do work lose. Just tighten up the screw and it squishes the bushing so they stay in. Undo the screw too much, then you need a magnet on a stick to retrieve the nut inside the bar. Whenever you want to remove them, you just loosen them a little then wiggle off. (Newer ones may or may not have that extra washer. Old ones have it because they were lead with a steel cover. Newer ones are solid steel.) The nut next to the weight is just a spacer. The one on the far right is the one that tightens. No thread lock. That makes too much friction and the nut won't freely tighten up.

Will mail tomorrow. That's a stock old photo so it probably will not be the one pictured.
I'll pick a good one tonight.
Thank you.

PS: Just went to the parts bin - I think that is the one I found for you. Perfect like new condition.
