Replacing worn handle bar grips

Forums

Hello

I have a Norton Commando 961 Cafe Racer (2017). I am attempting to change the handle bar grips as they have worn. I am unable to remove the bar end weight. I have slackened the grub screw under the rubber, and untightened the bar end Allen bolt. However, this just keeps turning and the weight remains solid in the handlebar. Any advise or place of contact for me to overcome this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

You could screw a screw or two into the lead down the side of the Allen bolt and then use a slide hammer to try and get it out.  Failing that, drill it out or melt it out with a blowlamp.

I don't know the detail...but you say you slackened the Allen bolt...did you give the and of the bolt a sharp tap to break the internal taper wedge that probably holds the weight in? Your message didn't mention it.
