Lockhart Phillips Bar Ends on Tricktape.com
I bought these and used the bolts that held the original end covers in place with a little thread lock to make sure they stay put since the bolts are bit smaller than the ones that come with the bar ends.

Yeah, at that price I figured that even if they didn't work it was worth the risk.

Hold-up... you can not use generic bar-end weights and caps because of the threaded inserts. Check with MotoTwin. They have a set of stainless steel weights that screw right onto the stock handlebars.

If there is something that is an exact fit that would be great, but when I looked I didn't find anything. I can attest to the fact that these will work just fine with a minimum of complexity to the install. There is a bit of play, but with a steady hand and some thread lock, they fit great. I believe that Thrux-ton-up may have used these same bar ends if I remember correctly.

I think at the price of MotoTwins with the exchange rate + shipping I'll make these work. I think I might drill these out and make a rubber insert for them.
