Title: Bar Ends Wanted!
Post by: cWj on September 30, 2013, 04:59:51 PM
Went ahead and got OEM gaskets and bolts for the exhaust, found my cluster gasket stuck on the frame and will deal with the firings screws later.

What I'm now having surprising difficulty in finding are bar ends. It's for a 96, so the threaded mount is already the bar...

Or can I just get a universal set and remove the rubber expansion bit? I tried someday pair for a GSXR of similar vintage that did not work.

Help appreciated,
C w j

One way or another, I would like to discourage my crotch from inching forward onto the tank (or the life of me, I can't imagine what my crotch thinks it's going to find there).

Honestly, the header bolts and fairing screws you can pick up at your local hardware store. Don't quote me on this, but I believe the header bolts are M8 x1.0. Not sure about length. But they're definitely allen head bolts. I'm sure you could probably use hex heads if you'd prefer.

Edit: Janx, you're incredible lol.

Yeah. I thought about going down to the local Home D-pot and with a couple and seeing what they have. I'd like to use OEM if I can for that, though (not all bolts are equal...).

I'm not sure, but I think Janx's suggestion might make feel like I need an adult...  :whisper:
