The thread inside the handlebar, where the bar ends screw in, is broken. What are these parts called? because I can’t find a replacement anywhere!!

I was hoping someone else would answer this (& still am) as I'm not well up on original parts. As far as I know SDs don't have bar end fittings - I've never seen one with them & there's nothing in the CMSL parts diagrams. All the handlebar grips, genuine & pattern include the bar end you would have to cut that off to fit bar end weights. My bars are all pattern so I can't say for sure, but it's likely there are end weights inside the original bars. These wouldn't be threaded for external end weights, or maybe someone has put some universal end weights with expanding fittings to go in the bars & it's the remains of these that are in yours?

Just read the post as Ian said they did not fit bar ends .are they the heavy type or the light cosmetic type.if the light type bin them and get some new grips.the heavy type work when you have a bike that at a certain speed you get a buzz through the bars.my a10 at 50 is fine but between 55 to 65 I got a vibration through the bars that gets annoying but bar ends do not look Wright on a old brit so I turned down some steel bar and put that in the end of the handlebars and it's now fine. If you what bar ends plenty on ebay or drill the hole out and fit a insert me I would bin them

as i have the right side switch in bits i remembered there was a plastic bung in the end i know they are genuine honda bars but not sure if they are superdream bars but believe mine is a combination of all the best bits of superdreams as yours got this plastic end and someone as just put a hole in it to fit bar ends

Mine are heavy. They screw into plastic at the end of the handlebars. The plastic thread has broken on one end. What’s my best bet?

I thought that may be the way to go. It would cover up the unsightly thread and I could do away with the massive bar ends. Thank you!
