Allen key?

Or a screwdriver, like my sv takes.

If it doesn't budge, just try harder.

Looks like the bolt has fallen out and they're on pretty tight.
Is it the same both sides ?
I remember on my old bike that the bar ends were a nightmare to get off. A big set of mole grips and brute force was the answer.

The hole looks round inside, had a look inside with a torch! The allen key doesnt catch on anything. Ill take the grips to it in the morning, they are original bars but the guy on the bandit mania stall told me to get some renthals because it completely change the feeling of the bike so im going to order some this week. See if i can get a pic in the morning when i can see what im doing properly!

I can sell you a set of gold renthals, if you wish? Or perhaps bright blue?

Won some on ebay as part of a deal (with some crash bobbins and upgraded forks)

Although, I've yet to find any bar ends that will go into renthals. They do transform the handling of the bike most definetely. Much prefer the wide bars.

Wedge a plank against your bar end, then take a mallet to the end of the plank, so you're hammering the plank into the inside edge of the bar end. Keep whacking, and it'll come out.
