Gregg's Customs Billet Bar Ends

Hey Guys, I got a new little product to spice up your bikes. They are made from billet. They are available in: Black Anodized Aluminum Bare Aluminum Bare Stainless Steel The stainless steel ones are nice and heavy if you want to keep the vibes down. They come with Stainless steel hardware. They will be available through McCoy next week and we'll put up the pricing soon.

Here's another pic. These are both of the Bare Aluminum ones.

nice. too bad i just got my graves bar ends a few months ago. the machine work looks great. :thumbup

Gregg can you powercoat the stainless bar ends black??? Is that slot on the bar end for the CRG mirror??

Graves powder coated

I could do some Black powdercoated stainless ones. I'm also going to have a CRG adaptor available.

Originally posted by Gregg's Customs I could do some Black powdercoated stainless ones. I'm also going to have a CRG adaptor available. Yeah, I just got off the phone with Shane and he told me the same thing. I'll be looking to pick up a set of powercoated stainless bar ends and your mirror adaptor as soon as you are finished with it. :yesnod

Originally posted by Kevap I'm getting the first set! :p :p :p Kevap, I believe I read in a past thread you went down at the gap last week. How did you and your bike fair the fall. Hope all is well.

Originally posted by SpidermanSS Thanks Brian.... They'll just take a few days to powder up and some shipping time to us... We'll get them out with the quickness when they show up.... will you have the RG adapters available with the barends? if so add them to my order as well, I also included that in the comments section of the order form :thumbup

I think the adaptors will be about a week out maybe a tad more but I'll make sure to post up here when they are available.. :) Thanks Ron!

Originally posted by ChrisYZFR1 Kevap, I believe I read in a past thread you went down at the gap last week. How did you and your bike fair the fall. Hope all is well. Yeah, I took a tumble. The only thing that was hurt besides the bike was my pride. Bike got scratched up pretty good. Pretty much all body work will need to be replaced. Along with a bunch of parts on the left side... headlight, ram air tube, rearset, frame slider and bar end.

Kev I have a mint left reset for you if you need it, but it's stock I have a left lower that has a few nicks that may or may not buff out shoot me a PM if you want it

Alright guys, let me be the first to give a review on this barend from Gregg. I just picked it up today.

A little of background about myself for those who don't know me, here are the bikes and some of the reviews that I had done.... http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=166520&highlight=carbon+silver http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=162771&highlight=carbon+silver http://r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=114168&highlight=yellowducking+carbon The main goal of my review is to help forum's members with his/her next purchase. With that in mind, I am very honest in my opinions and brutally straight-forward.

I dropped by Gregg's shop to look at his latest creation. He had two versions on the table, the aluminum and the stainless steel. One look at the design and I was in love. Man, this thing looks way way sexy. I honestly had not seen a bar-end on the market that I like until till today.

Right Side

Top view - both sides

I decided to get the stainless steel version. Good thing that they are heavier than the stock ones to help with the vibration. I would recommend you guys to get the stainless steel; afterall, the whole reason behind buying an aftermarket bar-ends is to add little weight to help with the vibration on the bars. Now, if you recalled, the Tokens are the silver carbon grips made for bicycle. They are a bit longer than the stocks ones. My thought was to get Gregg's bar-end and fabricate my own washers and screws. To my surprise, Gregg went straight to his machine shop and made one for me, right on the spot.

I had always been a big fan of Gregg's products. As you can see on my 04, I dressed the bike with all of his goods. There are several reasons why I chose his products over others: - Very high quality, high workmanship. - Fitting and installation is always a walk in the park. - He stands behind his work. A few years back, I brought back an older flushmount that got burned out. He replaced it for free. But most importantly, whenever I stand next to Gregg and chat with him about bikes, it feels like I am talking to one of my good friend. This guy is really down to earth, just like you and me. A very cool dude, indeed. His new bar-end creation get my big thumb-up of approval. Look at the pics and tell me if you can find a better one on the market. Get on the list and put this on your must-get mods.

love that Pro Tek top triple on your bike I'm gonna have to get Greg to anodize a black one for me just can't decide between the Pro Tek & the Cycle Cat

Thanks a lot for all the support guys. I really appreciate it. If you guys ever need anything, don't hesitate to call or send me an e-mail.

Originally posted by GAMBLER love that Pro Tek top triple on your bike I'm gonna have to get Greg to anodize a black one for me just can't decide between the Pro Tek & the Cycle Cat Pro-Tek! You can get them anodized black for no extra cost directly from Pro-Tek. Buyer beware... it took me 6 months of bitching to get one made, anodized black!!! Ordered 5/16/2005 - Received 1/11/2006 BUT I GOT IT! :crash yelllowducking when exactly did you get yours? I wanna know who had theirs first! :sneaky

Originally posted by GAMBLER love that Pro Tek top triple on your bike I'm gonna have to get Greg to anodize a black one for me just can't decide between the Pro Tek & the Cycle Cat You definitely should definitely get the anodized black pro-tek for your raven. It looks bitching on Kev's bike. Keep in mind though that removing the stock triple clamp will not be that easy. You will need to drill out the two screws that hold the ignition in place.

I wanna know who had theirs first! :sneaky Yup, it does take a bit for those guys to anodize one for you if they don't have it in stock. But, it's real cool that they do it for free. I got it on tues during lunch. Gregg's garage in only few minutes from my work.

Why does all this cool stuff come out AFTER I spend all my saved up money!!??:rant Oh well, time to start skipping lunch again. I need those bar ends!!

Originally posted by MANOWAR© Why does all this cool stuff come out AFTER I spend all my saved up money!!??:rant Oh well, time to start skipping lunch again. I need those bar ends!! There will be a set on a black R1 you can lOOt very soon Tony!

Great write up Yellowducking...Just got mine today. Barends are exactly as you described. :yesnod Any word on an adapter for a CRG mirror Greg?

Greggs adaptors are in stock now.. You can call in and order them or they'll be on the site in a few days.. :)

Originally posted by SpidermanSS There will be a set on a black R1 you can lOOt very soon Tony! :sneaky

I just ordered a set. They look too good to pass up. Time to hide the check book register from the wife!!!:D

Thanks Tony.. we are setup with them now.. stock is GOOD

Originally posted by MANOWAR© I just ordered a set. They look too good to pass up great . . . I got a set of the black SST ones . . . and no damn bike :crash might as well order the CRG adapter too . . . wonder how much different it is from the Graves? any pics of them yet?

id like to see pics of the black on a r1 if anyone has got some

Originally posted by SpidermanSS Thanks Tony.. we are setup with them now.. stock is GOOD Cool, hey if my wife calls tell her I ordered them before the Gap trip but they were back ordered and just shipped and you only charge when you ship. :D

OK LOL

My CRG adaptors are anodized Black. If you guys bug Shane enough, he'll take a picture for you.

looky . . . looky . . . a GC package :cool:

here they are . . . powder coated billet SST, incredably well made & nice and hefty, beautiful machining on them :rock I have to admit, I changed my mind and wanted the natural SST, after a quick phone call to Gregg, it was a done deal, return them & he's gonna swap them out. Gregg is amazing when it comes to customer service, the guy is incredable, no questions ask . . . just return them :bow Not to long ago he helped me out by getting my Woodcraft case anodized for me, he goes out of his way to help, as stated above he is incredably down to earth :yesnod So with this transaction, there's no way I can pass up the GC CRG adapter too, just gotta order it now :thumbup

Here you go guys. This is the mirror adaptor on my bike. They are coming in black only right now. But you can't really see the adaptor once the mirror is on the bike anyway. :rock

Here is one with the mirror attached. Works perfect, just like everything else Gregg makes! :fact

i got the s.s. ones and they look :boobies

Here is the link to purchase the mirror add on... http://www.tobefast.com/detail.aspx?ID=1371

Originally posted by SpidermanSS Here is the link to purchase the mirror add on... http://www.tobefast.com/detail.aspx?ID=1371 order placed :thumbup good thing there's only one color/finish, otherwise it might be really difficult after the barend purchase, maybe I took more of a knock to my melon in the crash, then I originally thought :2bitchsla

hahaha... thanks for the business Ron!

cant wait for these

ordered one!

Gregg, have you guys done up an 06 zx10 yet? Any pictures? I'm looking at getting a custom exhaust made... any idea's?

so how flush should the bar end fit? there is a little neck at the base, that is supposed to stick out, right? do you put the grip over that?

Spinkick, They do have a little lip that sticks out so the grip won't touch against it. You can see this a little bit from the pic I posted above. Sorry the weren't in better focus. Thanks,

Thanks, I see it now. These things are cool

Nice:rock

Originally posted by SpidermanSS styling..... and the Greggs stainless are weighted for less bar vibrations... Shane, do you know the exact weight? And if different, the weight of the black ones, thanks :D

Gregg told me double the stock bar ends for the STAINLESS STEEL and the black versions are nearly the same it's a thin coating...

Originally posted by SpidermanSS Gregg told me double the stock bar ends for the STAINLESS STEEL and the black versions are nearly the same it's a thin coating... aarrgghhh!!! you don't have a number, like in oz's, should I e-mail Gregg instead? My main reason for them are vibration dampening, although they do look killer, my hands get numb :(

I could cut a set out of the shrink wrapped package and put them on our UPS scales if it helps... Sorry I don't have one off the top of my head just the info that came from Gregg. The reason we have the stainless option is for less vibrations but if your getting numb hands bad I can talk with Gregg about a custom solution maybe 2-3 times longer.. :)

Earl might've used the stainless ends on his bike.. I'll see what he has... :)

Right on... Thanks Ron .. :)

Originally posted by SpidermanSS Right on... Thanks Ron .. :) no problem Shane, they sure are sweet, hoping they help with the vibes, now if only I had a bike to put them on :lol :lol :lol

KNOWING you it'll be back 100% SOON ! :fact

Hey Triprock, You should check all your engine mounting bolts on your bike. They have a tendency to loosen up. When they are loose, the bike vibrates a lot more. The '04-'06 R1's are generally pretty smooth.

But I heard something somewhere on the forum about the frame slider bolts not being torqued to specs as well, wish I could remember where iI saw it.
