Help with handlebar ends
I purchased these handlebar ends
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gold-Bar-End...6778b2&vxp=mtr They are the universal type. I removed the stock bar ends from my 2008 Ninja 250 and I don't think it fits even though the seller claims it firs the 250. Am I doing something wrong? |

i think you'll have to remove the expanding flange, unless you have clip ons.
if the bolt is the wrong size you'll have to get a matching bolt, i think the size is m8x1.25

The stock bolt is too big to fit into the hole in the new bar end. Even if I did get the right size bolt it wouldn't fit anyway. With the expanding flange or not, doesn't seem to be a way to make this fit lol

if you took all the stuff off, and used the bar end itself, does it fit right?
if so just find someone with a drill press and get the hole widened for a stock screw, then you'll have to go to the hardware store and see if you can find a bolt that matches the stock one and has the right length

Besides, they are light (aluminum) and will probably create handling problems (steering wobbling): http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14281 That link says that they will accept return and will pay for shipping it back.

returning it probably isn't a bad idea.

I got those same bar ends but kept them because I was switching to clip-ons. I found that they didn't fit my SV650 clip-ons either. I forget what I did to make them fit, but I did.
