Handlebar control symmetry

[pekingduck]

On the left side, if the gap is too large between control housing and clutch lever mount, why not slide the clutch master cylinder outboard a bit to match.

The clutch and brake lever mounts are already symmetrical, so I would rather not move either of them, but maybe I will split the difference just for the sake of my compulsion.

I measured my right side gip, and it is about 125mm too.  I suspect the previous owner couldn't slide the grip inward enough on the white throttle tube, and the grip is overhanging the tube on the right.  Do you have pics of both bar weights to be sure they're stock too?  

It really seems to me a combo of throttle tube 1/4 in too long and same controls pinned 1/4 inch too far inboard... but I have been wrong about things like that before.

I was looking at new grips and I have really liked ODI Rogue for my mountain bikes for many years... I see they make Rogue for MX as well... is it safe to assume MX grips are compatible with motorcycle handlebars?  Actually, I should just check with ODI directly I guess.

I will take pictures of bar ends later when I am doing some other wrenching (hoping to be plugging in a flashed ecu later today!!!)

Well it's possible the installer of those grips couldn't slide the grip on far enough, and the outer end was overhanging the white throttle tube. In that case, the grip would rub against the bar end weight, and his solution was to move the right switch inboard, to add to his incompetence.

MX grips tend to be plugged on the ends, and cutting a nice clean hole in them isn't as simple as it seems.  Be sure they aren't too long or they will interfere with the bar end weights.
