hi,

i just received my bar end mirrors, i tried to turn the allen screws that are in the stock bar-ends on the bike (i think they're stock), but A) they're very difficult to turn, B) are they supposed to draw them out as you turn it?

basically, how do i remove the stock bar-ends that are in there?

Hold bar ends, turn allen bolt, pull - basically.

Didn't that work?

i dunno... i'm going to give it a try when i get home...

i only turned the allen screw, i didn't try the pulling part yet as i wasn't ready to remove them at the time.  do i pull the allen bolt all the way out, before pulling?

Normally you'd only have to turn the allen bolt a little (+/- one turn) for it to be loose enough.
I'm suggesting holding the bar ends to make sure they don't spin.

On my bike all the parts are metal, so I suppose they could get stuck. Try harder and/or lubricate?

Good luck [thumbsup]

thanks for the info... the first time i tried to see how they'd come out, the screw was oxidized to the aluminum bar end piece a bit so the whole thing spun.  this time i just gave it hell and the screw broke free from the bar end, once that was out, i just used a screw driver and hammer to tap the aluminum piece out of the handle bar.

thanks for the info :)

ebay bar end mirrors are in and just like the reviewer on here said, no vibration, good fit and finish :)

i don't have an allen bolt on my m796. do i just pull it straight out?

If there is no allen bolt holding them in, just pull them out.

copy. i figured they were just plugs.
