Title: polished brass bar end weights
Post by: spizzoil on Sunday, 30 July 2017, 05:55 AM
got a set of brass bar end weights off Daytona .and not polished brass before thought I give it a go and have to say they have come up like chrome but they are brass so puzzled me a bit and they really are heavy witch I think I will like did have to do a bit of modifying as I do have renthenals on and had no bolt ajusters on the end weights .there is a slight gap on the throttle side as I do have oxford heated grips and if bar end weight was butted up against the grip then the throttle would not shut off and on under its own tension so few spacer washer butted up against  the end of handle bar did the trick .
