NorCal FZ6
Just some dude
Well I went and bought Rhino barend weights for end mirrors. I give them a thumbs down. The weights are not even as heavy the stock barend weights. I haven't weighed them for exact measurements. But clearly there not as heavy. My goal was to put FZ1bars with barend mirrors. The threading matches the stock handle bars. But if the stock barend weights are the same part# as the FZ1 as to the FZ6. The tear down seems kind of pointless.
Question; Does anybody know a mirror barend weight the same or heavier to the stock barends?
I just don't see the point on putting Barends lighter than what was originally Yamaha engineered for the bikes. On the other hand I haven't taken in account for the weight in the barend mirrors. However the weight in the in the mirrors will be more of a offset weight, rather than be somewhat evenly distributed Weight within the barend weight.
I'm about ready to pack it up return everything and get the Rizoma bars that have a rise, and then try out the Motovation barends, with barend mirrors.
