Just got the Buckhorn bars from New Bonneville in for my '09 TBA. Install going smooth until I got to the end bars. The buckhorns didn't come with the threaded inserts at the ends. Are they Tac'd or glued and can I get them out to reuse or do I have to buy a new set or fab something? I think I saw this posted somewhere in here, but can't find it again.
Looks good though, can't wait to give them a spin.

you can get snap in chrome plugs at a hardware store. There are also some out there with an expandable part that fits in the bar and the expands tight as you turn them. Not sure where I saw the latter.

Put you about a 1 inch length of wooden dowel that fits tight in each end. Use wood screws to mount end caps. Worry about a real fix on a cold rainy day

Simple yet effective fix, even if it is temporary. Which may become semi-permanent as other interests take precedence.

i use bar ends from a BMX bicycle...theyre a little small so I wrapped a piece of rubber around the shaft to shim it up a bit...they come in a lot of colors and designs and are cheaper than "motorcycle" bar ends

That's pretty trick. Did it stiffen up the bar enough to not need weights?
