Kane Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Thank you! I just checked that out and yes it makes a difference, definitely reduces the Longhorn effect! Why didn’t I think of that, sitting in front of me all this time! Out for the country and in for the city? And no restrictions on the brake lever like when turning the stems up. Cheers!

Gio Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hi Kane - here's another pic showing (what I think) are the stock end-weights on factory bars (removed mine many years ago after installing Magni - so memory fades as they say ...) - after removal of little rubber grommets (shown) you can see the internal grip mechanism inside - but not a hex as I was expecting to see ..? End weights are approx. 1" long (corks added in the interest of the familiarity of how we do things around here ... as much info as possible - with a little fun now and then!)

docc Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thanks, Gio! The actual weights extend up inside the black tube from the "knobs." They can be a booger to get loose. #19: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Gio, that’s a very nice pice of kit. Docc, thanks for the illustration! So it’s not a short end piece with an expanding rubber spacer like the aftermarket ones seem to be. How does the weight/rod attach to the inside of the bar?

The weights screw into the open tube of Assembly #2. As I recall, with a rather fine thread. The difficulty arises as the outer, black, tube is isolated from the inboard silver assembly and it is difficult to anchor the black outboard tube to extract the weight from the inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi Shaun - thanks for the offer (Kane had also asked) - but would prefer them to stay with original bars as - subject to sale of the bike - am offering the complete set (and also stock mirrors) in the classified section ...

Ray Sandoz Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I have solid 7/8" bars with low profile mirrors in the stock location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
