Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These bar end sliders are designed as direct replacements for your motorcycle's original bar ends. To install, you will typically need to remove the existing bar end, which may be secured by a screw or bolt. Once removed, slide the R&G Bar End Slider onto the handlebar and secure it using the appropriate hardware, often utilizing the motorcycle's existing mounting point or a provided fitting kit. Ensure the slider is firmly attached and does not rotate freely.

It is crucial to verify compatibility with your specific motorcycle make and model before purchase. While designed as direct replacements, handlebar diameters and mounting mechanisms can vary. Refer to the product's compatibility list or consult with a dealer if unsure.

Care:

Clean the bar end sliders with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the material. Inspect regularly for signs of wear or damage, especially after any incident, and replace if compromised to ensure continued protection.
