Thank you both! I'll see if I can pry the chrome covers off simply then. I didn't realize they were just decorative chrome pieces. LOL. That's kind of funny.
I agree on not needing the bar end. I saw no difference with it on, or not on (although I hadn't taken into account the possible tip over/accident factor). It had unexplainably come loose over the course of time earlier this year. Of course, I tried retightening it a few times, but it never tightened back like it was. So like a smart motorcycle owner who didn't know what to he was getting into, I decided to unscrew it. It unscrewed. And unscrewed. And unscrewed. Which seemed to take forever and never did come out until I actually pulled it all out. Once I pulled it all out, I decided to put it back in. And that's when I went, "Oh crap. What the heck?!?!?" :retard:
Anyway, I'm only putting it back on to resell the bike and folks tend to want things functional on their beginner bikes. Even if it is "just" a bar end. :whistle:
