Default Barkbusters Handguard Instalation probleme cause of stock handlebar

Lets get to the point, i bought these nice handguards :

Barkbusters VPS Handguard for 7/8

I also bought the supermoto sliders to go with em and the endbars weight for looks.

I tried installing em tonight on Stock handlebars.. OOPS no go ..
Theres an insert inside the stock klx250s 2012 and so I cant bolt these on unless I remove this insert and so my question is... is it possible to remove it ? It seems like there's 3 welds on the outside, if I buff em off will the insert come out ?

Or do I have to just buy a nice new handlebar with grips.. ? Oh and ya.. what is the easiest way to remove the handgrip on the clutch side.. ?

Thanx

Ps: my english aint so great because i'm french .. sorry folks

Air pressure will remove the left grip.

Some have trimmed the bars right after that welded in piece in the stock bars. Better to replace the bars with a new pair,stock bars bend if you look at them wrong!

This has been talked about quite a bit in other threads. I've heard a few different methods, one that comes to mind is using a Dremel on the welds.

I ground the welds down and blew the plugs out with compressed air.

i ground the welds off (they are just tacked on)

then i drove a wood screw in the end and pulled it out with a hammer

worked like a charm

Before undertaking this task and purchasing Barkbusters, you should have referred to their catalouge or done a search on this forum as suggested by Brieninsac...
