RE: Bar Weight Gap Fix?
#17



The RHS throttle tube is held in place by the throttle assembly anyway so instead of going to all the rigmarole of making new bar end weights why not try undoing the two screws first and wiggling the assembly to close the gap? It’s only a few mm after all. I’ve done this before a number of times on different bikes and always had great results. I too then take out sideways slop by installing a thin rubber or plastic washer. Just feels nicer in the hand. On the LHS it’s even easier just stick a thin long screwdriver under the grip to break the glue, quick spray of silicon to let the grip spin easily, wiggle again, set and leave. In a day or two the grip is rock solid again. It’s like blueprinting the assembly line getting gaps even, symmetrical and balanced. Alternatively you may be blessed by not caring and be able to just ride. I can’t unfortunately and OCD is a silent companion I have learnt to live with!
