Full details
The Bike It Motorcycle Bar End Buttons are ideal for motorcycle owners seeking a clean, minimalist aesthetic for their handlebars without the hassle of mechanical fixings. These plugs offer a quick, press-fit solution to cover exposed bar ends, effectively preventing debris buildup and providing a finished look to your cockpit. While they offer exceptional ease of installation, users should ensure their handlebar inner diameter precisely matches the 18mm specification to guarantee a secure, vibration-resistant fit.

FAQs
Can I use these with bar-end mirrors?
No, these are decorative plugs meant to cover open ends; they do not provide the mechanical support or mounting points required for bar-end mirrors.
Will these fit any 7/8 inch handlebar?
Not necessarily. While 7/8 inch is the external diameter, the internal diameter varies by wall thickness. You must verify the internal hole is 18mm.
Do I need any glue or adhesive to keep them in?
No, they are designed as a friction-fit component. If they are loose, check for proper diameter sizing first.
How do I remove them if I need to?
You can typically remove them by carefully prying the edge with a non-marring plastic trim tool or by using a small flathead screwdriver wrapped in a cloth to avoid scratching your bars.
Are these weather-resistant?
Yes, they are designed for motorcycle use and can handle rain, dust, and general outdoor exposure.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose or falls out during a ride
Verify your handlebar inner diameter is exactly 18mm. If the opening is worn or slightly larger, you may need a thin wrap of electrical tape around the plug stem to increase friction.
Difficult to push into the handlebar
Ensure the interior of the handlebar is clean. If there is a burr or rough edge on the metal, use a small file to smooth the entry point before attempting to seat the button again.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely fast and simple installation process
- Clean, professional aesthetic
- Lightweight design does not affect steering feel
- Cost-effective solution for finishing handlebars
Cons
- Limited to 18mm handlebar diameters only
- Not compatible with heavy-duty vibrations or bar-end mirrors
- Relies on friction fit rather than locking mechanisms
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your handlebar ends are free of debris, old adhesive, or rust. Simply align the button with the handlebar opening and apply firm, even pressure with the palm of your hand until the plug seats fully. Because these are press-fit, no additional hardware is required. For compatibility, you must measure the internal diameter of your handlebars with a set of calipers; if the hole is smaller than 18mm, the button will not fit, and if it is significantly larger, the fit will be loose. Maintenance is minimal; if the buttons become dusty or dirty, simply wipe them down with a damp microfiber cloth during your routine bike wash.
