All I did was remove the screw, position the Kobras and replace the same screw (with Loctite), no removal of internal weights or bar end weights.

Is the plastic wind guard portion of the Barkbuster Storm removable for hot weather riding?
I have originally installed the Barkbusters according to the instructions, i.e. removed the original bar ends and internal weights.
During the first ride after the install I felt that the handlebars felt very light and hollow, if you will...bike reacted to the control inputs more sluggishly and required more effort.
Then I read somewhere on the forum that the B-busters were installed using the original bar ends, screws. Thus, no need for the removal of the internal weight.
Today I went back and reassembled the weights, bar ends, and installed the B-busters!
WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!!! BIKE FEELS WHOLE AGAIN!
Just wanted to put this in a separate topic, so that interested parties saved themselves some time and effort...![]()
I used the stock, oem, bar end weights and screws and did not have any fitment issues. But I also do not have any grip warmers.On the left the bracket mount is facing up, on the right it is facing down to avoid cables. I could not install the weights that came with the guards because I installed grip warmers previously. (oops).
It seems to be working fine for me though. I'll attach some pictures tonight.
I wanted to see if anyone else used the stock weights and screws and actually had any issues that I haven't come across yet.
I pulled my internal weights as per the installation instructions. The internal tubing capture hardware that were supplied, insure a firm grip of the ID of the tubing. While the OEM weights were "Floating" inside of the tube. I had to use a pneumatic impact driver to remove the screws from the end weights, becuase of "Thread Locker" applied to the screws during assembly.
I finally found a pair of barkbusters I decided I could afford. Got the left hand side on OK. But so far I can't get the OEM screw out of the right hand bar end. I'm not keen on buying a tool I might not need again, so I'll get my son to help me. He's bigger than me.
Hope to get them both on soon.
