The diameter of the bar ends is exactly the same as diameter of the original Italian handlebars.
Have no possibility to machine the alloy bar ends down to fit the handlebars.
How did you solve the problem, mates?

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO JUST TAP IN (oops :oops: ) then vibrate loose and then fall out :roll: No, seriously, you may need to loctite them in, but you do know they have no practical use and are for decoration only?

Hey, I ride a 200 cm³ Stage IV and another Mugello 186. Ride Lamies just instead of mast*rbation mate! No money left for an RB or a TS1, spent every single Cent in decoration...- Image
And I did read the instruction tips on Mark´s Homepage, but I couldnt mount the bar ends the way he is describing in detail there....

what you could do is, once you put the bar ends on, peel back the grip an drill a hole through the tube and in to the bar end so your able to fit a grub screw to keep it on? :geek:

my way was do away with plaggy end bits and repatce with steel bits fitted with motrax end caps ,this also makes the bars long enough to fit renthal and super bike grips

I am sorry, I was only trying to help, but I don't get what you're ranting on about :roll: :?
