Hey guys,

just fitted new original weights on the bike.
The thing is that there is a small gap between the weight and the end of the handle bar:


Do I have to move the inner weight I bit more inside the pipe?

Any other suggestion?

Apart of this, I did not notice much the presence of the new weights in terms of handling the bike but yes, they vibs seems to have reduced.

Cheers

 

weights r unneccersary!! take them off

 

Those grips might not be the same length as factory. Honda grips are exactly 122mm long. Measure yours and compare.

Or maybe you didnt align the bar end cutouts with the inner weight cutouts? There is a half-circle of metal on the end of both the inner and outer weights, and they need to be aligned to prevent them from "spinning".

 

The cutouts are aligned...
I will check the soze of the grips, although the grip and the pipe seems to have the same lenght.

Cheers mate

 

You sure??

 

Flatback would know more than any bike manufacturer and their hundreds of engineers who make and design bikes for a living, NOT. Just get them fitted correctly and you will have less vibration and be less fatigued while riding.

 

I see the end screw is not fitting properly? Please make sure the screws are indeed OEM sizing and should fit flushed..

 

i have not used them for 20 yrs. with no issues, on many a different bikes ( mostly liter ) and plenty of racers don't use them either! engineers r perfect right? you use something because someone says it works? real lif they r useless!!

 

What works for one rider, may not work for others. But giving an advice to remove a part that was meant to work properly with certain motorcycle, is definitely an advice rather NOT said...YOU are putting risk to other riders & CBRF will not tolerate such suggestion. What works for you is within your motorcycle/riding conditon/experience/ 100% self
preference, but that does not
mean you can suggestion riders
to remove a part that was
meant for certain motorcycle to work properly. You can remove any part of your motorcycle...but don't suggest other members to do so... It's life & death...hope for your consideration before posting...Tks.

 

Thanks for the comment estate4life.
I think this is just a matter of common sense. I just wanted to know FLATBLACK740's point of view.
Just because someone suggests to remove the rear wheel does not mean that I will blindly follow the advice.

I do really think weights have a strong purpose on a bike. I tried myself yesterday during a longer ride out, and it made some difference.
