I hope not. They feel too heavy to be hollow anyway. They need to be solid cos a hex bolt goes through the middle to fix it to the clip-on clamp.

ok then replace them with some same diameter steel tubing? then add bar end weights

or as i said earlier replace with ZX6R handlebars which already have them in

i'd say they are almost certainly hollow, and probably surprisingly thin walled as well.

probably got a threaded insert welded/pressed into the other end.

im pretty sure they arent, one of the bars on my ZXR is ground at the end, ill have to take a picture, in fact ive got a replacement so when i change it ill cut it in half and prove to you its solid

well i'll be surprised, but I am always prepared to be proved wrong!

i'm going with Deviant pn this 1 sorry RobB, get that hacksaw out!

then im sorry to disapoint you baz but my bars are in fact solid all the way thru

cool, lets see some pics!!

ps how you gonna ride your bike now you've cut the bars in half?

nothing to say here, so ill leave it blank

i havent chopped. i drilled them so the locating stud for the electrics could be moved and its solid. trust me. i live in wales

well there you go.

Just incase you haven't started chopping your bike up yet

I always used to get a numb throttle hand until I had to replace my throttle cables. Once I put the new ones in they were oiled and greased up. The throttle was tonnes smoother and I didn't have to hold the throttle so hard. It made loads of difference so if your throttle is stiff or sticky then a good oil up and lube may help!! ( I wish I could have written that differently )

toad thats a good point. that was one of my ' to-do ' jobs. changing oil, filter , plugs, cables. best i get onto that. thanks for the reminder
