Been riding without bar ends for a while. Sick of the vibration. Would love some stock bar ends or nice aftermarket ones that work even better.

OEM can usually be found on ebay for not too much, sold from bike breakers. Depends on how beat up they are already (usually pretty beat up).

If you want an aftermarket bar end, make sure to get one that's heavy rather than the aluminum ones that only look pretty. Otherwise, your vibration issue will still exist. I believe R&G makes bar ends that are comparable in weight to OEM, but with a little more bling. IIRC, Adidasguy installed these on one (or more) of his bikes. R&G products are commonly available on sites like http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/5850/620/

I'm sure there are other manufacturers that make weight-comparable bar ends, but R&G was the first one that came to mind.

thanks. do the R&G bar ends come with the screws and bushings and all that?

They come with screws. You need your old bushings or fabricate something or buy the 2 rubber pieces from a dealer. The nut and the spacer are anything you have around.

I have them on all my bikes. Nice weight and look really good.

Here on an OEM, the end is the nut that fits the screw. The nut between the bushing and the bar end is just a spacer - they use a nut a few sizes too big to be just a spacer. Small stack of washers would work, too.


They look great!

i don't have my old bushings or any of that.
