Handlebar end cap

flavor · 08-14-2010, 07:20 AM

Somehow on my way to the NE rally trip I lost my end cap off the left side of my handlebars. I like the size of the stock grips so I'm not looking to replace with the thicker Kuryakyn grips. My question is has anyone replaced just end caps with stock grips and what company. Pic would be great.

I haven't checked in depth possibilities yet just figure I'd throw it out there.

Also if anyone has replaced the stock grips and caps maybe you have a cap laying around that you want to part with.

Where the clock necklace dude???

If all else fails Maw Kaw sells just the end. One on my 07 was cracked. When I came to pick it up from the 600 (or was it 700?) mile check and oil change they were going to charge 1/2 hour labor to r&r (42.50 that I remember for sure) and $21 (if I remember correct) for the cap until I pointed out that the bike was less than two weeks old!

$21 for end cap.......I figured they weren't going to give it away. It's not made that well to start with. Just don't want to change the stock grips. Breakaway cruise already on bike and don't want to deal with the new grips because I don't k now if I still have the rubber spacer needed for the Kuryakyn grip changeover if I go that direction. The breakaway was a little bit of a pain to tweak.

What makes it tuff is the lefty threads. I would think with all the ergo intalls one must be around somewhere.

I have one from when I put my Iso grips on my 1500.
Shoot me you address at audiogooroo@comcast.net and I'll drop it in the mail on Monday.

Thanks

I'm PM ing you now.

Isn't this site great?

There has to be a dozen more layin around somewhwere.

If none were to be had, I was going to suggest an auto parts store for a lefty nut that fits and then milling off the flats to make it round and rethread the outside in righty threads for a jeweled faucet knob fit for the bath.

That would work but I knew someone had to have some laying around.

Audiogooroo came through and I know someone else would have dug one out for me if he didn't. It beat giving MA KAW 3 or 4 times the price of what one of those end cap should cost.

GooRoo to the rescue.......... that could be a song. I was about to go look in my garage to see if I still had mine so I could make a similar offer. Good going Guru!! Kudos to ya.

blowndodge · 08-15-2010, 04:07 PM

My stocker on my left side as a gap between it and the rubber. How do you snug it up? Is it treaded?

cactusjack · 08-15-2010, 04:13 PM

Mine was glued on and when I replaced my grips it got destroyed.

blowndodge · 08-15-2010, 04:46 PM

does anyone else know how to re-attach the left end chrome plastic cap on the grip? Since CJ swung and missed!! LOL

**glwilson** · 08-15-2010, 05:11 PM

Parts falling off the bike? Replacement parts too expensive?
Uhmmm...

Good job audio for stepping up to the plate! ;)

Now someone needs to help BD...

flavor · 08-15-2010, 06:06 PM

LOL

Maybe a little blue locktite?
