    Removing bar end caps

    As title says I want to remove the bar end caps on my VTR 250 without destroying them so I can fit my recently purchased bar end mirrors.

    Cheers

    It probably says so in those links I aint going to bother to open, but since you asked the question, I used an electric Impact Driver to get the bolt out on the Zed. Make sure you get the right sized bit or you will stuff the bolt/screws head. Will only need a split second rattle with the impact driver and it'll be off, like wise if doing it back up, wind the screw in by hand and only give it a light go with the impact driver or you can sheer the bolt.
    When the only tool you have is a hammer, every thing starts to look like a nail

    Or you could go to your local bike shop and they will be happy to remove them for you at no cost.

    I then again was shopping for grips at the same time and maybe this is why I got it for free.

    Otherwise MAKE SURE you use the correct size bit. Otherwise you will strip the head off it!
    Peace out
