I relate so much to this guys methods and terminology, had to get new bar ends as old ones knackered when I tried to put hand wind deflection thingys on. My new bar ends are identical to the ones he took off 😂 good times lol
Yes mate! As stupid as I made this, I did think it would actually help. I didn't bother to look up how to do it before. I thought "How hard can it be? I'll just start by undoing this bolt and I'll look it up if I get stuck." Bad move!! Then spent about 30 minutes hacking at the rubber grommet (thanks!) with various tools until it came out. The one in the video is not the fecked one I destroyed on the other side. :D
Cheers mate got some blue anodised ends on the way for my cbr125r (£2.50 all the way from hong cong lol) i was wondering about the spinning bolt when looking at the design but now i know :) also had a chuckle like many others haha nice one.
haha. No probs mate. Glad you enjoyed. Just recently had the bar ends off on my Tiger 1050. HOW EASY?! It's just a bolt. No faff at all. Why can't all bikes be so simple ...
Excellent. Nice step-by-step. And helpful. I like the part where you try Allen keys until you get the right one (its never the first one in my experience). Since my bike doesn't already have bar ends, I may be facing a bit different situation.
Funny. Thanks. Not knowing that you should not unscrew the bolt completely, that is exactly what i have done a few times. I hope that the fact that the screws went back in and 'bit' properly means that I have fortuitously avoided the problem of retrieving parts from the depths of the bars. Now... to replace the (smaller for some reason) bar-end internal parts that came with the knuckle guards I have just removed. A quick reference to an online parts catalog for part numbers... copied into a Google Images search should give me a photo of the original OEM parts set, so I can see what goes back in and what must therefor be kit parts to be removed.. if that makes ant sense. Happy Riding!
Great How-to video! Thanks! Those have been something of a mystery to me for some time. I don't think they were mentioned in my otherwise extensive manuals. I bought a pair with flashing colored led-lights, so I hope they won't make the handlebars vibrate more, as they are quite light. I'll probably get arrested if I ever use them...
They protect the bar in the event of a drop or accident and they also reduce handlebar vibration. The heavier the bar end, the less vibration. My Gixxer had noticeably less vibration after I put these on, so a more comfortable ride.
Great tutorial. just wanted to confirm how they worked. Still having trouble getting mine off a Yamaha Fazer after using penetrating fluid and heat. Feeling like any more pressure would break the allen key or the bolt. Trying to get them off to fit heated grips.
Ahh, very good idea. Yeah a coat hanger should be strong enough to pull it out without bending back. If it happens again, I'll give that technique a try. :)
I would assume using loctite would be a bad idea. Because if the friction of the bolt in the nut exceeds the friction of the rubber it will just spin the bolt and nut around in circles.
Thanks for this how to, got new bar ends for my bike but think ill keep the crappy ones already on there, looks too fiddly for my limited patience, lol
Time to start hunting for some tools that you can push through the rubber grommet and hook it out with. In the end I used an alan key, but half destroyed it as I pulled it out. Try and find something better if you can. I also lubed up the handle bar a little so it slid out when I finally got it moving. The nut/washers will just roll out by leaning the bike over once you've got that rubber thing out. Good luck.
Hi man, great video. Can you please let me know how you sorted is when you unscrewed the bolts completely? I actually did the same thing to my Bandit yesterday and now the nets and washers are stuck in the handlebars.
Hey bud, my bike went over on its side whilst out riding and my left hand weight end snapped off (the bold sheared off half way down). Would you know if I can get a pair of pliers on rest of the bolt if I take off the rubber hand grip? Don't want to take it off if it wont help. Cheers, Martin.
What exactly do bar ends do and do you need them? My ninja is missing them and I honestly have no idea if or why I need them, but I have considered getting some to put on.
Funny stuff . I just ordered some for my not as vibey as some BMW s1000xr. Thanks or I would have just pulled the lot off,and then pulled my pubes out as I don't have much hair.
I know I’m late to the show but I love your little whispered comments, cracks me up and reminds me of myself😂
Thank heavens you made this - it would've taken me ages to figure it out. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing the technical video tutorial, actually I have spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to swap the bar ends.

Always cite your bg music!
Especially when it's this good.
Good vid. I now understand the basic physics of a bar end and I chuckled.
hahaha This is a great how-to. I wish more were like this.

Thanks for explaining
Thank you, your video was a great help and hilarious to watch. My bar ends are now fitted and I am very happy! :)

well down - well down to earth and easy to follow

Thanks mate. I did try and keep the techniques cutting edge. The ol' yank and wiggle is the 'here and now' of bar end removal styles. ;D
Funny. Thanks.

Quite helpful, thanks
Amazing tutorial. Thank yoy so much !!!
Thanks man.. Sorted me out.. One of em just fell out.. From a Barracuda handlebar..
thanks bro☺ your video proved to be helpful👍
I found a rubber mallet helpfully to put it in
This was of big help.
You absolute star! Thank you 😊
Very useful video. Thanks mate
Thanks dude. Glad this one is actually useful. :)
Thank you mate, very helpful
actually getting these in a few days, so a cheeky vlog won't do any harm. Cheers fallout, btw nice bike!
Chezvegas85 from the org
Best tutorial out there
Glad to be of service! Mine are still on, so I guess I did it right. :)
haha great vid.. love the technical terms..
Really helpful. Thanks a lot mate.
Great tutorial. just wanted to confirm how they worked. Still having trouble getting mine off a Yamaha Fazer after using penetrating fluid and heat. Feeling like any more pressure would break the allen key or the bolt. Trying to get them off to fit heated grips.
Funniest thing I've seen in a while. LMFAO. Good video, thanks for posting it!
LOL dont be so mean to yourself!
I needed to doublecheck how to change the stupid thing.
I did it thanks to your video. You're good.
Hah. Yeah, they're confusing little badgers. Glad it helped you out. :)
Ahh, very good idea. Yeah a coat hanger should be strong enough to pull it out without bending back. If it happens again, I'll give that technique a try. :)
5:30 'Get in there ya fucker' haha
It was very usefull for me
Glad to see you
i would of fully unscrewed it, jesus, this was actually useful!
I would assume using loctite would be a bad idea. Because if the friction of the bolt in the nut exceeds the friction of the rubber it will just spin the bolt and nut around in circles.
Haha ... fckin hilarious. Bar Ends for Bell Ends - A whole new meaning to getting your end away :-)
Poorly made video......but did the job better than any other, thanks mate I'll subscribe,good shit
Funny and helpful , thanks !

nice video, I just needed to see how the rubber expands.
haha. No probs dude. Hope they went on well!
lol, so funny, made my day, brill vid mate well done, i too was pissing my self with laughter, so so funny...regards
"Get in there you fucker!" Hahaha
7 allen keys...... 8 attempts!!! nice video. my bike has crazy vibration. think its cause my bar ends are f--ked

is this video still relivent with 2021 sliders for bar ends?
haha. But what about the cheese factor? Lounge music = additional cheese. With this production quality, I need all the help I can get.
Funny stuff . I just ordered some for my not as vibey as some BMW s1000xr. Thanks or I would have just pulled the lot off,and then pulled my pubes out as I don't have much hair.
do you recommend a replacement if i'm piss drunk and pink elephants oh my!!!
What brand bar end did you use?
soapy water on bar end rubber and they go right in.
More please!
It's some royalty free lounge music clip from a loops website. Unknown artist if I remember correctly. :)
nice music😀
thanks
From 5:30 to 5:40 this sounds like a 70s porno .... lmao awesome🤣🤣🤣
Buy some pro grips for vibration
Will doo!!
It was also useful to me. Some wanka stole my bar-end....
Your so cute, I love your accent hehehehheeheh😋
Hilarious and useful.
That's funny!!!!
18 comments later, i think its a rubber grommet dude, could be wrong
I unscrewed the whole thing before watching this video how the fuck do I attach it again
Hahaha.....great...
Piece of Rubber shit🤪. Commonly known as a swell nut. But rubber shit works👍
