Side-to-side play in throttle grip

[the Ferret]

Without physically seeing it I don't see how side to side play has anything to do with the bar ends. The throttle tube (usually plastic) is slightly bigger than the bars in diameter, but on one end has a ridge or curved ramp which holds the push/ pull throttle cable ends, and that runs in a channel inside the r/h switch assy. When placed on the handlebars, the switch assy itself, is located/ anchored by a pin which goes into a hole in the bars. Placed as such, the throttle tube will not come to the end of the handlebars, by design. It is usually slightly shorter. The bar ends are internal in the end of the bars, and cannot go in far enough to contact the throttle tube due to hitting the end of the handlebar.

The play has to be inside the switch assembly, does it not?
