Not really, no. Blow torch is needed to not strip them.

James, I ended up in the same situation. Tried the blowtorch trick in combination with a philips bit on a ratchet, but that didn't work. The screw head eventually got drilled out so the bar end just slid off, and then used vise-grips to unscrew the shank from the bar.

Without the bar end on there, you may notice a bit more vibration in that grip....the bar end weights are there to dampen the vibration in the handlebars so you dont get that hand numbing buzz.

I initially bought some LIGHT, Cheap anodized bar ends when I bought the bike. Holy crap these things VIbrate with no weight on the ends. Ended up buying some custom lathe turned HEAVY bar ends, now no vibrations at all.

impact driver
My little CH impact driver did the trick!! No torch required.
Took a little while and it fought to the last thread. I'm glad it was air powered because it would have taked all day with a hammer powered one. I need some of that loctite available for me to use...I think it could hold congress together!

I was planing on using blue loctite when I put the new bar ends on. I don't get why they use red! What kind of attachment did you use? |

On the impact driver or the barends? I got in the habit of putting blue locktite on all my barends after one went on its own way on another bike. yep it was a fancy throttlemeister one too! ouch.
On this bike it is still sufficiently hard to twist the screw because of the residual red locktite that I am not going to worry about it.
