Just got back from the NEC and bought a bar end mirror for my Bandit, how do i get the old bar end off in order to fit this one?

you should be able to just unscrew it

Allen key?

Or a screwdriver, like my sv takes.

If it doesn't budge, just try harder.

Inside the bar end it is just hollow, e.g no screws or any slots, tried turning it with a wrench and that dont even budge it???

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.
