During installation, at least on my Kaoka model, the device would "clip into" something on the inside of the handlebar. It was necessary to get that right.

In addition, the weight of the Kaoka device was designed to be an equivalent bar weight. There has been no vibration issues. I am unsure if all models perform similarly, but I reckon Kaoko would try to get consistent behaviour for all supported bike models.

Thats good to know, the knock off one on aliexpress had a version with a bolt that looked like it would screw into the handlebar inserts like the stock weights do.

I'm just not sure what size bolt the stock bar end weights use to cross reference and find out if the knock off one will screw into the bar insert threads

Awesome it comes with an M6x60, you would just disregard the expandable coupler.

I’d be interested in a report on the knock-off if anyone gets one.

No meaningful throttle gadget reviews on AliExpress?

I realize lately there has been in influx of Russian AliExpress product reviews, but still.
