FAQs

Are R&G Bar End Sliders universal fit?

No, these sliders are model-specific and designed as direct replacements for original bar ends. Always check the product listing for compatibility with your motorcycle's make, model, and year.

What are these sliders made of?

They are manufactured using robust, durable materials designed to resist snapping upon impact and offer effective protection.

Will these sliders protect my fairings?

Yes, by preventing the handlebar end from directly contacting the ground or other surfaces in a fall, they significantly reduce the risk of damage to upper fairings and screens.

How do I clean the bar end sliders?

Clean them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Can I install these myself?

Yes, they are designed as a direct replacement and are generally straightforward to install. However, refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific procedures, especially regarding handlebar components.

What happens if the slider breaks in a crash?

The slider is designed to absorb impact. If it shows significant damage, cracks, or becomes loose, it should be replaced to ensure continued protection.

Do these sliders add a lot of weight?

They add minimal weight, comparable to the original bar end weights they replace.

Troubleshooting

Bar end slider does not fit securely.

Verify that you have ordered the correct part number for your motorcycle model. Ensure all original mounting hardware has been removed. Check if you have aftermarket handlebars, which may have different internal dimensions requiring a specific adapter or different sliders.

Difficulty installing the slider.

Ensure the handlebar opening is clean and free of debris. If the slider is tight, a small amount of lubricant (like silicone spray) on the rubber grommet or mounting surface might aid insertion. Do not force the installation; re-check compatibility and mounting method.

Slider shows significant damage after a minor fall.

While designed to protect, extreme impacts can damage the slider itself. Inspect the slider for cracks or looseness. If compromised, it should be replaced to ensure continued protection for your motorcycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These bar end sliders are designed as a direct replacement for your motorcycle's original bar ends. Typically, this involves removing the existing bar end weight and then installing the R&G slider in its place. Ensure the internal mounting mechanism (if applicable) is securely fastened to the handlebar. Always consult your motorcycle's service manual for specific instructions regarding bar end removal and installation.

Compatibility:

These sliders are specifically designed for certain motorcycle models. Always verify the product's compatibility with your motorcycle's make, model, and year before purchasing. They are intended for use with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) handlebars. Use with aftermarket handlebars may require additional checks for fitment and secure mounting.

Care:

Clean the bar end sliders periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the material. Inspect the sliders after any incident to ensure they are still securely attached and not significantly damaged. If damaged, they should be replaced to maintain protection.
