I got my clip-on today but the bar end mount does not come with it (It's the rubber piece the bar end bolts into). Does anybody that's going to the Gap have a bar end mount? or a spare clip on laying around that has one in it? I've got one on order from MR Cycles, but it won't be here until next week some time (while I'm gone). It's probably the same piece on many different years of R1 and R6.

You the man, Elvis!! Good luck gettin' em out, too. They look like they're in there pretty good. Although, apparently a simple little low side will tear it right out of there. :(

Captain Squid already has the part on order, but it won't be there for a few days. It wouldn't be a big deal but the mirror mounts on this bar end, and I probably should have that installed.

I have a good right side clip on that has one in it and a wrecked left side. Im hoping you need the right side clip on????? EDIT Damn, just looked at your pics again, ya need the left, so Im gonna keep trying.....gonna try a heat gun....might need some epoxy to make it stay in yours if I can get this one out. I'll keep ya posted....

If your left side is already wrecked you may be able to just cut into the aluminum tube of the clip on and peel it away from the mount. The mount only goes in there a little over an inch from the looks of things.

One slightly used bar end mount that we can tap back into yours!!! Hope to be there around 3 ish Sunday. I'm staying at the lodge this year, so if we dont meet up on shuckstack, come on up there! :thumbup

Don't really need them, but for some odd reason I'm on the local gendarmes "Favorites List" :sing:; the last thing I need is to give them more reason to jack me up.

It's because of our little run in on the skyway last year. :sing: It sure didn't feel like 90mph did it? This year, no tickets.:thumbup

Yeah, that's who I'm ordering from. Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm set for now with the unit Elvis is bringing me. I appreciate it. :thumbup

Well, looks like this story is going to have a happy ending.

either way, I'll be bringing a right-side clipon (not sure if i have a left one or not) with me in case anyone needs one.
