I lost my 2nd throttle side bar end this week. Some where there are two bar weights littering the side of some road. Doubt if I'll find them.
I had used blue loctite but upon reflection I had noted that the fastening screw had not gone in very far before presumably spinning. There was a bigger gap between this bar end and the grips than on the clutch side. I'm hoping that Katherine will read this since I think I'm going to have to remove the internal weight mechanism and seat it better so that it doesn't twist around when I'm screwing in my 3rd bar end?!?!? I was just looking at her Twisted Throttle how to piece and believe it holds the key, but I'm looking for guidance or reassurance from the master or mistress(somehow this doesn't have the same meaning) I'm open to other opinions as well. I don't want to lose a third one....
BTW, what's the purpose of these things? I notice no difference in handling. My cruisers never had these things.
