So I've gone through 5 bar ends this season only on the Throttle side. That universal ones Doesn't matter how tight the nut is on there. I've tried blue locktite Anyone have any ideas what I can do or bar ends that are made for the 1125R? | ||

I have the vibrinator bar ends on my 1125r and it has never came loose. The inside that grips the inside of the bar is rubber and it expands as you tighten the bar end. I've never had a problem with it coming loose or working its way out either | ||

Aftermarket weight ones? 13,000 on the stockers, never a problem | ||

Jcjohnson33 so were the universal ones I have been using. Sprintst they seemed cheap so I replaced them. | ||

Maybe the universal didn't get a good bite on the inside of the bar? Maybe the 7/8 ID was just a bit to much for them? | ||

I got the cheap ones from American Sprotsbike ($10 I think). They have never come loose or fallen off yet. Are you sure your bars arnt split or oblong or something? | ||

I have the heavy version of the Throttlemeister in use here. The extra weight really damps vibration. My bar-ends have never came off... knock on wood. Take a look inside of your bars for glue residue from the stock bar ends. My right side was clean but I had plenty of glue residue inside on the left side, which would have interfered with the bar-end getting a good bite inside of the bar. I scraped the dried glue out and then used an acetone-soaked rag to get the last of the residue out. I haven't had a problem with the bar-ends coming off but I imagine that the glue residue would have caused me real problems if I had missed it. | ||

+1 on Throttlemeister. Love it! I had both stock bar ends come off multiple times on both sides before I gave up and switched. | ||

Guys thank you for the responses I will definately look at one of those options for my next set. I will also check the insides making sure nothing is inside the tube. These are what I have been using with no luck. They are at the bottom they are the Anti-vibration ones http://www.wps-inc.com/catalogs/street#Task=NEXT&C ICID=ST&PRVCID=ST&PAGE=539&Rnd=0477723882374656 | ||

Lol. Well for seeming cheap, the stockers do stay in place, even in a crash  | ||

I've got vibranators on my CR. No complaints, they even survived a pretty hard crash. Made in USA as well. |
