I picked up a set of bar end mirrors but can't seem to get the endcaps off easily.  Before I go all willy nilly with a hammer and screwdriver I wanted to ask the experts if there was a trick to getting these caps off.  Thanks.

Yep.....just use some kind of a padded plier attempt.  Jut grip them and lightly rock the pliers back and forth while pulling away from the bar.

Thats what we are here for, man..Get you young guys headed in the right direction. A few projects ^& soon youll be thinking "right" w/o even askin..

I'd snap those things off in a day, do any other States aside from California allow lane splitting/sharing?

If you try lane splitting here.....someone is going to toss their Orange Slushy or Starbucks out the window as you pass by.  Motorcycles are expected to be a part of the traffic jam just like everyone else...without any special privelages.

You're right about that Dave! I got caught up in the NASCAR race fiasco three years ago when all the roads leading to Kentucky Speedway were a parking lot. 6 hours in 95* sun-baked traffic on I-71 and the only things moving were bikes! Boy were they getting ripped by the cagers! If only I'd been on a bike I'd have been home in less than an hour!
