That Really Is Me, I Promise!

 I bought some rizoma grips off a fellow member and had them installed. When I picked up the bike (at night, right as the dealer was closing) I find that the grips are too short and there is a gap between them and the bar ends!!! And I forgot to ask for my originals...I feel like a fool!

Or use a saw and cut the bar down a little.  Better yet, leave it and use the space to mount a new set of CRG mirrors.  Finish it off with the Rizoma tapered bar ends.

check out this thread from OzMonster. We were just discussing the best fix and options to deal with the gap!
