Handlebar weights loose

Post  hedgey on Fri Aug 14, 2009 10:54 am

After fitting Oxford Heated Grips the left hand handlebar weight has come loose. The rubber 'fitting' inside the handlebar won't grip the bolt anymore.

Anyone had this problem and found a solution?

Any idea if the weights rubber and bolt are available online?

Cheers

You can get the complete weight from any suzuki dealer. have you tried wrapping a piece of tape around the piece that inserts inside the bar just to make it that bit tighter.
