Hi Guys, anyone recommend a good set of bar ends that do not require a lot of technical ability to install?
Thank You

In short, I don't think there are any. I've only heard of it being done once before, and that was by a guy who has bags of technical ability + the tools to do the job (and by tools, I don't mean a hammer & scredriver - think machine shop stuff).

The only tricky part is drilling the hole exactly on center in the mild steel plug in the ends the bars and keeping the hole parallel to the bar end as you drill. No problem if you've got a decent eye and reasonable manual dexterity. |
