Our customers have asked us to complete our protection line of products with bar end slider kits. We offer these to you in four options: standard, long, aluminum, and Delrin.

The bars ends are designed to fit 7/8" OD handlebars with inner diameters ranging from 0.690" (Crossroads) to 0.750" (standard tubular bars including Buell). They are easily installed in minutes with one 3/16" Allen wrench.

All kits are complete with sliders, stainless steel mounting hardware for a long lasting, secure fit, and installation instructions.


Standard Aluminum


Long Aluminum


Standard Delrin


Long Delrin

Can they work with the factory hand wind/brush guards? By possibly adding an appropriately sized shim or something?

Hello Mike,

If you can give me the details of where they would interface, maybe I can answer your question.

Thanks,
Keith

Detailed enough?






Sorry.

Since this is an advert in the Uly section one would think that the advertiser would know the answer to a question like this.

Steve - Perhaps you are correct. However, this is a bit difficult when said advertiser has no access to a Uly. We are a very small company and simply cannot afford to purchase one of every bike. Maybe some day. At present, we depend on people like you to provide useful information.

Mike - Can you tell me what the ID of the guard is where it slips over the bar end?

Thanks,
Keith

Take it easy on the guy. Looks like a cool product.

Sorry Steve, that came across more strongly than intended.

How about a replaceable delrin (or similar) end? I've been planning to make a set with a
replaceable end for my own use this winter but haven't gotten there yet...

Have any that would fit Pro Tapers?

The stock plastic Uly bar ends (which cost maybe $3 each) are pretty clever AND effective at absorbing shock upon impact (they break away). I now carry a spare on the bike.

The bar ends look great and I have your sliders on both XB's. Both bikes however have the brush guards and i for one would want bar ends that allow me to retain them.

Just my $.02

I have a set of the guards on the way. I'll see what I can do to fix you guys up!

Badcat - Absolutely! We currently ship all over the world.

Mike - You are welcome. Without you guys and gals, there wouldn't be a DarkHorseMoto!

I hate to ask a stupid question. BUT! I will. Why would you want bar sliders that long? How far are you planning on sliding that thing?

It isn't a matter of length. It's a matter of mass. The higher the mass, the greater the damping effect.

Dear ole Fattie, a big ol' fat bar end is not technically a damper. It is more of a resonant frequency reducer, I think the technical mumbo-jumbo is that it changes the moment of inertia.

I only stated that it damped vibrations. I didn't describe the mechanism by which it did it.

So the lower the mass the greater the damping effect?

Oh, you mean it dampens the resonant frequency ?

The higher the mass the greater the reduction in resonant frequency. A true damper is like what a shock does, where it converts kinetic energy into heat. A true vibration damper would have to generate a counter frequency so that the net effect is zero frequency. Engineers, help me out here. I have a psych degree, which means I am qualified to operate a copy machine, if the voices tell me it's ok.

Shorter bars, like on the "R" models may benefit from longer bar-ends to help protect the frame, fairing and such.
