Sounds simple enough but I can't get the slip collar into the bar ends.

I tried drilling and once I get through the rubber I hit metal. I can stick a screwdriver up the end several inches but a half inch drill bit doesn't want to go and I don't want to push it.

Is there a trick???

 

The stock bars have weights in the ends. You can tap the holes in the weights to 1/4 inch thread.

 

What redpillar said. Tap the holes and use the bolts:

 

OK. Thanks. Anything special to do on the throttle side or and other mods while there? Add washers, spacers, bushings, cup holder, ash tray, tassles......oooooooooo tassles!!!......PINK tassles!!.....

 

I would go over to www.rockymoutainatvmc.com and pick me out a set of tusk cR high bends, then install that and my new bark busters together. The stock handle bars are steel and have a 1970's bend. The Tusk bars are lightweight and feel so much better than stock, plus i think you can ****** you up a pair for 30 american dollars.

I had the same problem, I got new bars after I messed up tapping them, KX high which were not quight high enough.

 

I've got a set of used renthal bars that needs to be cleaned up. I'm looking for a reason to swap them out anyway. If I screw up the tapping, which I already might have,.....there's my excuse!

 

i had alot of trouble out of mine also. they didnt line up right to the bar so it was pretty tough. let's just say i threw some glue on there and used a few other cheap tricks, but they're on now

 

Go with your Renthals, those stock bars are really heavy and bend and break easily. I got a set of Tusk cr high bends and am happy with them.

 

I drilled mine out with a 5/8 drill bit. Then a dremel to clean up the welds. But tapping it sounds a lot easier.
