thanks

DO NOT remove the long screw!!! You will be very angry at yourself and in a world of frustration. If you already have done so you have my sympathy. All you do is loosen the screw a couple turns so the bar end can be jiggled and pulled out of the bar as a complete unit. If you remove the screw completely there will be a bunch of parts left in the bar and are a bit*ch to get out. Pull the complete unit out and you will understand the simple design and function.
When re-installing bar ends be sure that the throttle side bar end is just a tad away from the throttle grip so as not to bind the throttle. A sticky throttle is a dangerous thing. It is not and never will be a poor man's cruise control.
