Anyone got a spare bar end for a 650 lying about? Or recommend a replacement...

Seems to be a bit of a thing with Burgmans losing their bar-end weights. I've had them 'go walkies' on both of my 400s. Seems it affects 650s as well.

So we now have a spare, spare, as well...
Mild steel so i will keep it in the box for when you need another
Ow! and i only had an R4 radius tool so not 100%

It's the cheapo rubber compression bung -- it's pedal cycle technology A metal wedge or spline would sort it, but of course would cost Suzuki an extra 50p

Can you get the rubber bungs out? if so i will chuck a couple of wedge tubes int post to you M6? 17mm or 18mm inside bar tubes?
Steel or Ali..

If it's not too much bother that would be great -- let me know the postage. Inside diameter is 18mm. Not sure about steel or Al TBH, guess there's not much difference once they're in an Al cheaper to post!

cheers

Will do them tomorrow...
PM me your home details to post.

I will make myself a pair of stainless weights and anyone remember the bar end mirrors from 60s/70s they had a positive fitting method that rarely came undone? Will knock something like that up, mine have come loose couple times on my 650.Tip for making them regarding radius,don’t use a form tool put it on with a flapwheel or scotchrite wheel in a windy tool

[kayz1]

I only had the one lump of mild steel and the stainless i have is only 1' or 25mm can't remember off hand.. form tool was what i had, don't have a flap wheel. and never use a grinder since a stone broke up on me and a lump about 3" long parted my hair...not nice.
