Hyabusa Bar Ends

[sparky3008]

Well, first have to say they look awesome. I didn't get the $17 ebay deal, paid $50 from the local suzuki shop.

I have the TakiGrips on that I had to cut a bit off of the ends with a razor blade and the right side bar end leave just enough gap so the throttle works perfect. My left hand bar end though pushes in on the grip and I think transfers some vibes but I think some of the vibes have been reduced from the right hand and I will deal with making the left grip shorter tonight.

With the main return spring disconnected, different grips (which I don't think did much) and the bar ends(which help a little and look great) My hands felt better today than they ever have.

I got my bike after returning from vacation on July 5th. I now have 2300 miles on it and I changed the oil and diff at 600 miles. I have a sargeant seat, PCIII w/wallys smoothness map, D&D risers, TakiGrips, Hyabusa Bar Ends, disconnected the main return spring. I have the R&G crash posts on order and have the morgan carbtune that I have yet to use.

Overall very happy with the bike.

This thread is useless without pictures!! :lol: :lol:

Well, since you ask. I will take some in a few. The grips are not my proudest moment as cutting them with a razorblade was not the straightest job I have ever done. Give me a few and check back...

Nice Job Sparky... :clap:

Thanks,

I have yet to trim the left hand a little but I also have some different grips on the way to try. I will know when I have the right ones and I don't think these are it but I do like the bar ends...

How much faster do they make your FJR?

Well, this probably should be another thread but since you asked

At about 80 and up my bike feels very "gritty" for lack of better terms. It feels like what you would describe as a bad bearing or something. I am thinking that it is getting worse and I have yet to do a TBS on it. I am hoping that they are off and they are the problem. If it is an actual wheel bearing at 2300 miles I would be extremely shocked. With my rear suspension set to Hard yesterday and then to soft today the feeling is a little less which really doesn't mean anything...

Well, since i cant ride for 6 weeks here is a pic of those busa bar ends with stock grips.

Here is one of just the left grip.

I ordered the fork brace and dust covers today from MCL. Maybe that will be my next pic.

Looks great!

Put those on my list for the next FJR I farkle!

Anyone here tried the throttlemeister bar ends? I just got mine this weekend, put them on in about 45 minutes, just to make sure I was doing it right, did the "self-locking fix" too, and they work great. I still have the stock grips, but I notice an immense difference in the vibration. I'm a happy camper!

Sorry, I don't have pics. It looks just like on their webpage if you're interested...
