Title: Suggestions on bar ends
Post by: Turkina on June 12, 2004, 06:15:51 PM
So, I get a spiffy set of low rise aluminum handlebars from LSL (Spiegler).  Unfortunately, the Lockhart bar ends I just bought for it won't fit :(  The wall thickness of the aluminum bars is too thick for the rubber stopper bar end!   :o Any suggestions that do not require welding?  Thanks :)

i think on that lsl website they sold bar ends for their aluminum bars. I think also on the lockhart page they had universal bar ends with different size rubber shafts. :cheers:

Do you need to get rid of the ones that won't fit?  My 2001 GS didn't come with bar ends and I just switched to SM 2 bars and now I need bar ends.  I don't know why, but there is more vibration in the SM bars than my stock bars.
