@Eric GSX1400K3  I haven't got any bar ends mate as I have Renthal bars. I've been on the look out for good heavy bar end weights (ie not aluminium bling) - akin to the originals but to suit the Renthals.

Check out Rated R parts on ebay. Steve is perth based but posts all over. Thats where i got mine from
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Vlad, your tyres are worn out you said. So obvious what your first thing to do is. As far as Bridgestone, not a tyre id use. Just me. Have seen front on two mates bikes, just rooted after very low ks. I like my Angels, never a prob. 2nd set. Next time might give Metz Roadtec a go. Good reviews and say more planted front end than others. Can of worms for sure.

You can use originals bar ends or heavy similar  on Renthal using a rawlpug expanding bolt-check youTube  :)

Any after market bar end with an 'expanding plug' type fitment will fit. I know an ex got some heavy ones off ebay that just had a bolt that crushed a rubber bung so it jammed in the bars & they fitted her renthals.

I made a couple for my Pro Tapers in stainless. The groove is for the bark busters and they're held in with an M4 grub screw. A very rough sketch might explain.
If you look like your passport photo then you're too sick to travel.

Time to go back and look at the tyre arguments threads.  :)
