    Question Fitting handle bars?

    Simple silly questions Im sure

    Okay I have gone and got some sunline bars 7/8 size as trying to fit them i have come across 2 problem's.

    1, the hole at ends of bars to small to refit my pretty carbon bar ends. Easily fixed with a die grinder??? or is there something wrong in doing this??

    2, the throttle sticks like hell what can I do to fix this? I noticed that the grip slides on the bar but, it wont allow it self to be pulled back . can any one offer some advice??

    Regards

    my poor wee eyes!

    First glance I thought the title said 'fisting handlebars' - infact it reads 'fitting handel bars'. Sorry as you were

    I wonder if I could get some Bach bars? I reckon a a fugue in D minor would go nicely on the Zed.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Did you got the right size handlebars for your bike....?

    If the only problems you have are the bar ends...you can do what you like...
    bar ends mainly serve the purpose of not acting like a cookie cutter, not filling up with dirt when falling over, and offering some protection to levers when falling over.
    Your handlebars are thicker walled then the stock ones I presume?
    You can buy fitting Bar ends, or make your old ones fit......

    Your sticking throttle however needs to be fixed...
    You say it slides on but not off?....
    If you bought the right size handlebars, and want to stick with em....and the throttle does move, but not enough:
    See where on the bars it does catch, and start sanding it down untill it does not stick anymore..
    Bit of silicon spray or so when fitting it....
    Good luck

    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    Dude bring the bike n bars to me.
    possible issues.
    1)youve not noticed the locating pin for the throttle assembily.
    2) cables are routed wrong.
    3)aftermarket bars are cut with a power hacksaw.They often dont have the dags inside cleaned up
    then theyre hard chromed that makes em thicker
    4)youve put something in round the wrong way
    5) the bars are a bit longer than factory--stretching cables to the limit.

    Whatever it is --bring it to me I'll sort it
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
