not really a pig problem but i am very confused. Neutral

aparentley all the bar ends on honda's are the same, so i bought some new ones because there was one missing on my bike.
anyone know how to get the bloody things off? There's like a locking thing on the metal inserts that go into the bar, which the bar ends screw into. Both the bar end and the metal insert have semi-circle ridges, so they wont twist. I cant unscrew the buggars! Anyone know how to get the bar ends off?

picys to help my wierd explination:

Unscrew the bolt from the end? Neutral

Do you mean you're trying to remove a bar end just by twisting it? Confused

I don't think all Honda bar ends are the same. The ones I have on my VFR400 don't match the ones I have for a CBR600. Not sure why I've got a set of CBR600 bar ends, I think I thought they might fit my TT600...

Would one of those screw extractor bits do it?

Otherwise ask David Silver spares, think it'll be 'bar inner weights' you'll need.

Use an impact driver to get the screw out whilst holding the bar end (whilst the inner is in the handlbar). Iv used mole grips and turned out the screw on the most stuckest of the stuckest honda ends.

UNDO THE SCREW!
The weight is not the bar end its the bit that goes inside the handle bars, the idea being that it takes the vibration away from the ends of the handle bars and your fingers.
If it rounds, drill it out, how simple could it be!

The screws are a bastard, but that's what's holding them in. Either an impact driver or an old fashioned hand brace with a screwdriver bit in it should crack it free. Obviously you'll need the other end of the bar held pretty firmly, maybe in a padded vice or similar.

The screw holds the bar end on and in the pic where the arrows point to is a bit of folded steel that holds the inner part in the handle bar. The sticky out bit sticks out into the hole in the bars.

This little clip breaks which is why the inner falls out. The screw doesn't compress the rubber bit.
