Handlebar Caps On Clamps (Read 59 times)

Beagle Full Member Offline 1998 Suzuki Savage Posts: 217 Ohio Gender:	Handlebar Caps On Clamps 05/18/14 at 16:24:24 Do those "caps" on the motorcycle handlebar clamps pop off or is there a trick to getting them off? I can't seem to figure it out and I wanted to adjust my handlebars a bit.

Yeah, that's what I thought! However, whomever I got the bike from 4-yrs ago decided it was a good idea to glue those caps on! So, I've been riding with the handlebars that way for 4-yrs, so it's not a big deal but still...they had to glue them on? (shaking head)

I've lost most of the ones off Sam in under 2 months. Bike had 7157.5 miles on it when I bought it, rolled past 8900 this evening... My road looks like the training ground for bulldozer or tank operators...

Well, maybe that's why they glued them down but it makes adjusting the handlebars kind of hard to do when they do that! LOL!
