Bar Ends

skilletmo · March 2nd, 2013, 02:23 AM

First off i got new Pro Grips blue/black and flushed my coolant and put some engine ice! Anyways I wanted to get some new bar ends to match my grips. Which on would yall recommend?

First choice: This one is a cheaper price and seller is in Texas so it will come in no time. I really like these because of the design and color but im afraid it wont fit, it says:
8mm diameter bolts.
23mm inside diameter
5.5mm deep ( your handlebar fits inside these bar ends 5.5mm deep)
36mm total length.

Second choice is The2wheels Bar ends. This one is in hong kong but i dont care since i will be ordering levers at the same time, and its more expensive, i know for sure it will fit, and probably better quality but im not sure. Anyways, this one says 22mm and 7/8. I know 7/8 is the right size because that's how my other ones are.

Which one would you get? Which looks better? Does the first choice fit on the 250? I know it says it will but are the measurements correct?

Note: price is a plus but distance does not matter to me. And i know im making bar end shopping much more complicated then it should be haha

I have the2wheel bar ends and they look great. Fit ok too, the only problem is they are made of alu so they aren't weighted enough to reduce vibrations. I'm using them wih my sv650 clip ons and my hands tend to go numb after long hrs of riding.

That is not a problem for me since i dont really ride more then one hour at a time. So you would chose the2wheel ones or are the other ones a better deal. Also can you answer the measurement question or do you not know?

They look good, but I can't comment on fittment...

Can anyone confirm if they fit?

How about these from stg? If your 08 250 is blue, then they might be a little light in color, since the 08 blue is darker.

Went ahead with the first ones, ill write up a quality review.

If those are made of aluminum, be very careful about steering oscillations (less severe than tank slappers).

The original ones are heavy to dampen those oscillations.

So i got them in like 3 days ago. Turned out really nice and the paint and general feel of it are pretty solid for especially 11 bucks shipped! With my new blue/black levers coming in next week they will look even nicer with it. Matched paint and grips pretty close, overall i would definitely recommend them

P.S the old ones that are black shown in the picture are shoguns, if anyone wants them PM me or just post it here. Make a reasonable offer.
