Short Bar End Weights

[Rob999]

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a pair of shorter than standard bar ends for my 2023 S1000RR Sport. They have to be less than the stock ones of 30mm (3cm). 20mm should be the max but anything less would be perfect.

Cheers Rob

Why shorter ?

Why shorter ?

Hi Bananaman, thanks for replying.

Basically, the bike needs to be manoeuvred in and out of a doorway. Unfortunately the bar ends are catching (actually the brake lever guard is catching but it's integral to the bar end so needs to come off). I'm afraid it's going to either break the guard or the door frame, either way it needs sorting. I'm looking for a pair that are less then 30mm (the shorter the better).

I've since seen a pair that are 20mm which will do the job but I now need to know the inside diameter of the bars and also when I take the standard ones off is there anything left behind in the tube or is it completely hollow as to allow the fitting of the new bar end expansion fitting?

Cheers
Rob

It's an M12 threaded bolt standard.

Ah, right.

Do you know if anything is left behind once the bar ends are removed or just hollow.

Do you mean other than the M12 bolt hole?

Part MA531 from Rizoma is an 8mm bar cap.

Part LP321B will convert it for use with an M12 fitting

Ahh so yeah I was hoping there would be nothing left so I could fit new bar end with its own expansion fitting. However, what you've supplied there is absolutely perfect. Thanks!

Hi Alex,

Was just looking on Evotech's site and they are selling bar ends but with a M8 bolt. Have they spec'd it wrong?

Turns out they are M8 on the '23!

Which means, the M12 lever guards I was going to fit now need to be sold!

Thanks for checking Alex. That opens up the Evotech ones for consideration. Just waiting on them to come back to me with the length of them. They reckon the heavier weight will cure the mirror vibrations.

I might have a spare brake lever guard going when I finally get some if that's any use.

Gordon Bennett! Can't believe how hard it is just to get a bar end that fits my needs. Find one with the correct bolt (M8) but the bar end is too long. Find one that's the right length but the bolt is too small (M6). Might have to look at a replacement OEM off fleabay.

Does @GixxerChuck still do them?

Alex, If you are fitting lever guards does that mean you will have a spare OEM bar end left over <cough cough>.

I will at some point but I hold on to all OEM parts.
