hi gang, not a big far of chrome on the GRiSO and wanted to replace the bar ends with a black finish. Anyone installed these Rhino-moto?

My '16 bars are black.

I ordered Sato Racing 30mm bar end weights for my Indian FTR1200S to try and reduce the vibrations. The originals were 20mm.

But it turned out the originals weighed 124 gm, replacements a mere 73 gm. Obviously made of different materials.

It may be a placebo effect, but I swear the vibes are reduced.

Rhino moto stuff is good, mirror mounts are nice. the black bar ends found on many Aprilia that have the bar insert should fit. Bar ends on newer ape’s replace the threaded insert.

I took the heavy stelvio bar ends off mine (and the 150gm of ballbearings glued inside) and replaced the stalk mirrors with bar-ends.
Either losing 350gm each side or removing the mirror stalk has reduced the bar vibration - i just need to do a bit of science to find which one Smile

I gave this a try. I was ordering the lowered pegs from AF1 and added this. For $11 worth a try.

You could scuff up the chrome, and paint em.
