Title: Bar Ends for S4RS? Post by: arai_speed on January 05, 2011, 10:44:55 AM So while looking for some new bar ends for my 2007 S4RS I noticed that all of the Fleabay listings exclude my model and year! Some just don't list it, other explicitely mention it!
WTF! I was looking at the M-Label ones and they have the following: "All Monster Series (will fit S*R series)/will not fit 900M,S4RS Tricolore" Are the bars on the S4rs different for some reason?

3 types of bar-ends -steel bars all chrome-handlebar monsters (except for some M900S had alum bars) -aluminum tapered handlebars (S2R/S4R/S4RS)- thicker wall makes the hole smaller -S4 threaded bar-end Title: Re: Bar Ends for S4RS? Post by: Bill in OKC on January 05, 2011, 11:08:25 AM I don't know if they are different, but I ordered - still haven't installed - a Throttlemeister. I had forgotten that the website said you have to drill out the bar end before it would fit. Maybe they have a smaller internal diameter than the other bikes.

I now feel better spending my hard earned $15 on bar-ends. Title: Re: Bar Ends for S4RS?

I had forgotten that the website said you have to drill out the bar end before it would fit. Maybe they have a smaller internal diameter than the other bikes. These have been mentioned before in other threads but they are the absolute best, but a bit pricey. They have a shoulder that steps into the bar with an o-ring. Stainless steel and copper expansion pieces make them heavy. The o-ring fits so tight I had to oil it and hit it with a rubber mallet to make it fit. I liked the solid feel of them. The other down side besides the price is they do not sell replacment ends. The smallest size specifically fit the S4Rs. http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=304 (http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=304) Title: Re: Bar Ends for S4RS?
