My bike fell over and caused some damage. I need some bare ends/weights for a little more protection. Where can I get them?

pretty much any were, American Sport Bike sells them or ebay or any other place that sells motorcycle stuff. the bars on these bikes are the same standard size as most other bikes.

Woohoo!! Thanks Froggy! I was just about to ask this same question today because I couldn't find any that weren't a combo throttle. Just wanted some rattle in the bar taken out and some protection!

Send Johnnylunchbox a PM, his wife is the one that makes them. They have black in stock last I heard, but any color under the rainbow is available if you desire.

I bought my 2" mini mirrors from CRG direct.$50.00 a piece and nothing else looks quite as cool.Although they are quite small they are still easy to use.Well as much as a motorcycle mirror can be.

+2 on the HVMP.
Not only are they nice so are the people who make them. Have the black powder coat on the CR and they look great. Have the original on the Uly.

+ 3 HVMP.

Stainless.

They also seem to reduce handlebar vibration.

Of course, the best way to reduce numb hands is not to hold on overly tightly.

I made some direct replacements on my lathe out of 6160 Aluminum that use the factory hand guards. They look cool. I need to take a pick and show ya all. My next set will include an O-Ring grove to act as a throttle lock.

I may get kicked for saying this...

You can also buy the inserts from Kawasaki handle bars and go that route as well.
