Hi, I have just got a tenere with the KTM handguards but they are held on by the original bar end weights. I wish to remove these but cant find a suitable 'bung' type bolt to go in their place. I believe the size I need (correct me if im wrong) is M16 x 1.5 (pitch) x 20mm (length). Does anybody know of anything I can use and where to get them ? I would prefer something that undoes with an allen key and looks reasonably flush with the bar end. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Andy.

I just put in M16 bolts with a hex head, not very pretty, but not to bad either, I think finding something with an allan key head will be difficult. Have you ridden without the bar ends? I put mine back on, too much vibrations, but I hear some people can't tell the difference.

Not on the Z, but I have fix handguards using expansion bolts, replace the mid screw with a nice inox allen bolt and ron't overtight it.

have fun,

You should be able to buy a multi pack of allen bolts of different sizes from some where like Halfords, B and Q or the like. I know in halfords they where doing it in Norn Iron as i got a box of washers and they had the allen key bolts beside me.

Thanks for the reply, I will be checking Halfords in the next few days but I suspect like B & Q they dont stock sizes as large as M16 and if they do they tend not to be the right 1.5 fine thread.

You can buy every bolt size you want on Ebay. Just search by M6, M8 etc
