Someone stole one of the bar end weights off my Katana.... I have a set I bought off ebay (the kind that are suppose to fit into a bar without the receivers built in) but the bolt is to large for the receiver that katana has welded into the bars.. any idea what size that is?

You sure someone stole it, or did it just vibrate loose and fall off while going down the road? Sorry not sure what size it is, I imagine you could pull the bolt out of the other bar end and match it up at a hardware store.John,

Never underestimated the stupidity of dumb people... There has been documented cases of people stealing din plugs (for scuba diving) and leaving hundreds of dollars worth the regulators and other stuff (which is right next to the din plugs) cause the plugs are shiny and look expensive eventho they cost like 5 bucks a piece...

Seen it happen to quite a few people I know believe it or not. I have a mismatched set right now cause I didn't get to replace the set yet.
Moral of the story is that thieves will steal ANYTHING!!

But then again I have Cheriff's custom stainless steel bars and ends which are much heavier than stock and much better for vibration damping, and other signals in addition.Get over yourself. For me to think you are an idiot, I would first need to think of you.

I have the bars on my GSX-R filled with rtv and lead shot, along with the heaviest bar ends I could find at a mc salvage yard. One of these days I am going to buy the heavy throttle meister bar ends with the throttle lock.John,

I guess my bars are already weighted then because my palms never bother me riding... my wrist occasionally cramps but otherwise nothing
