On Friday my bike got knocked over by my work fork lift and severely bent one of my newly acquired bar end weights that I had just paid £50 for (the pair).
Not happy and if I can't repair I'm not spending out more money.
Does anybody know where you could buy a plastic cap that just blanks off the end of the bar?

I suppose I could do. Annoyingly I'd have to remove the grips. I just want to push something down in to them. I mean they are standard diameter bars. I know you can get them for push bikes.

without the weights on the bar ends the vibes will be worse , was yours 18mm bar end weights or the standard 22mm ends
or could be 11 to 17 mm fitment

Re: Handle bar end caps?
Try googling 'handlebar end plugs'
Cycle bar end plugs might work. try the search first for ideas.
Edit: yep the bar weights do dampen the vibes, plugs won't

I used a pair of these on my old Burgman 650, perfectly good quality and excellent value.

you are having a laugh. most companys have a small sign saying , "parking at owners risk" so they don't have to pay diddly

They may all have a sign, but that doesn't mean they're not legally liable.phantom309 wrote:Hexatony 2 wrote:If your scoot was knocked over by a works forklift truck, aren`t they responsible for any damage caused ?

But the issue here is it's where he works so how far do you push it with them (if at all by the sounds of it).
