Jimmeeh Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Can you get a screwdriver in between the end of the clipon and bar-end? Applying pressure against the bar-end with the screwdriver and undoing the bolt at same time may work. If it opens up enough to get a spanner in, over the bolt, that will probably work better. Failing that, pop the rubber bungs off the inner ends of the clip-ons and try and drift the bungs out using a extension bar/blunt object and copious amounts of WD40. Watching clocks/screen with whatever you're battering the bar with. My GSX-R had aftermarket bungs fitted when I got it. The R&Gs I bought wouldn't bite into the threaded insert those barends used. But after MOT-man told me 1 of my clip-ons was bent, I got a 2nd hand set off the 'Bay and the R&Gs fit those replacements fine. And the clip-ons are still just as 'bent' as he said they were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
