Question about bar ends
 

I'm after a new set of bar ends on my curvy as mine are a bit old and corroded.

I've heard people talking about various aftermarket ones being too light and as a result the vibration through the bars being hellish.

Can anyone recommend any aftermarket ones which are good quality and not too light to serve their purpose properly?

I like the look of the R&G racing ones but not sure what they are like in practice.

Cheers.

Toby

Thanks mate.

Are those ones tapered or a consisten width?

Personally not a massive fan of the tapered ones

Re: Question about bar ends
 

the factory ones a bit pricey new (£19 a pop) but find out the wieght of them and find a set of similar mass after markets

you can find stainless bar ends on ebay occasionally.
I was lucky enough to get a hefty pair off ToonYank before he parted from the org. He made quite a few sets for many of us.
I got another set for the other SV from another member(no idea where he acquired them) which are slightly longer.
Either way, hefty and seemingly stop a lot of vibrations, to me at least.

Probably a dumb question - but how do you find out the weight of your bar ends?? Mine are looking a bit worn so want to replace them.
