Few weeks ago i laid my bike down, ( dumb B$*%# pulled out infront of me ) about 30 mph slide. But my questions are when it slide, my bar end came off and kinda wore down where the end use to be. Now i cant get my aftermarket end on ( dosnt even look like it will thread into anything, let alone go in). Second, My throttle seems to be sticking, there a way to make it right again ( I took apart the off/run switch and can see the calbe ect. Third i cant even get me other bar end ( non-slide side ) to even come off, all it will do is spin the bolt.
Anybody???

Sound like a bent clip-on, they are some on ebay. The slide grind down where the bar end fell off and mess up the threads for the new bar end to screw in.

Thats what I was saying, but went to that link and asked seller to send more pics of the right clip.
Any tips on taking my other bar end off? the nut just spins and im not sure if i can just pull the end off with the screw still in it.

yup, roll the handle bar grip up (meaning try to fold it up to expose the bar). there should be a hole and you will see a rubber bushing. you can take a small screwdriver and wedge it in enough to keep it from spinning. or borrow an air tool from a friend. thats if it is the left clip on.

Might be a good time to upgrade to clip-ons? Not too much more costly and the advantages are tremendous. If the same thing ever happened again it would cost you $11 for the clip-on and like $4 for the throttle tube and you can get them all day long from anywhere - no searching around.

Just FYI.

Sometimes people like to charge outrageous amounts for a good condition OEM clip-on. My guess is you're going to spend around $50-$80 for one in good condition.

I was only pointing out that for maybe $100 more max you could get some aftermarket clip-ons that truely are, "clip-ons" (which is essentially a "trick" street mod but very practical racing system).

I dunno - thinking out loud again...

Yeah replacement handlebars for like Woodcraft and Vortex clip-ons are like $11. They also have their own built-in bar-ends so you'd never have to buy those things again... Lots of good reasons to upgrade if you're already in the market.

hmmmmm... So if i went for some woodcrafts, all my accessories ( choke, run/stop, master cylinder ect) will bolt up to them? And sense i wont need bar ends, i wont need the internal weights ?

Also looked up some woodcrafts/vortex's and they atlest $80+ .. .

Don't quote me on that controls swapping over thing, you may need to contact their customer service but I'm almost certain that they do. Just need to match the new handlebars diameter with that of the original clip-on.

That's why I said the initial cost may be a bit more but after that you're set.
