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?

ebay sellers are not generally known for being knowledgeable on specific applications  ;)

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

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.

Thanks for the info!  I now feel better spending my hard earned $15 on bar-ends.

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.

Curious, what does a set cost (shipped) to the good ol' US of A?

Chris,

Are you going to run the bar ends in the 5k-N style?


Title: Re: Bar Ends for S4RS?
Post by: Chris,desmoworld on January 12, 2011, 03:05:46 AM
Hi,

yes the 5k-N design will be a standard design in the near future  ;)

Put lane splitter mirrors in your bar ends.
