Do bar ends just pull off or do they need to be screwed off?
Bike went over, "thank you wind" smashed the end off. Only damage was to the bar end, lucky me considering some of the damage done to other peoples bikes by the wind.
I can still see part of the bar end inside so im guessing that will have to be pulled out, just wondering about the other side.

The bike is a ybr if that helps.

as we are on the subject does anyone have any experience with removing the threaded insert for bar ends?
i want to remove mine and replace with wraparound guards, they use a different insert.
