Fitting stock bar ends to aftermarket handlebars

[Captain_Kev]

Hey all! First time poster on these forums, but a long time creeper

In the ever-increasing search for ways to get my riding position more leaned over/sporty, I am replacing my stock bars with Bikemaster Superbike handlebars. This also means replacing my (17mm?) threaded bar ends with universal ones. However, I like my current bar ends. Like a lot of you, I currently own a pair of these in red:

Yamaha FZ6R Accessories, Yamaha FZ6R Bar Ends

They were 50 freakin dollars and I would really like to use these in the new bars. I know threading the inside of these is out of the question, but I was wondering if any of you know of some sort of adaptor out there that could fit these? Like a 7/8 universal bar end that would allow me to thread/screw my current ones in?

Thanks!

FZRblack did an awesome job with a "How too..." in one of his post, hust can't find it. All you need to do is drill and tap (forgot the size... it's there somewhere)

Thanks Marthy! For the life of me I cannot find that post... But if it is possible to thread the inside of the supersport bars to accept my bar ends that's great news!

It is in the "How to" Section. Here it is:

Good luck and my only suggestion is to take your time. Good luck!! Let me know if you have any questions..

Thank you FZRblack! I have your thread bookmarked for this bar swap and yet, for whatever reason, I always skipped over that section... Need to learn to read more carefully I guess

Not a problem. I try to help when I can. All I can say about the bar switch is that it is worth it. I am much more comfortable on my bike now, and I think that these handlebars that I put on are much higher quality. Plus, the black looks nicer than the silver does.
