Or to save you the trawl... get the KTM plastic wrap around ones (they same as you get on a 990A) - they are under �40, fit on with little or no modification (depending on the position you like your levers) and they will fit with the o/e bar end weights if that is your want...

I'd say there is nothing better for the money... especially as they offer pretty decent weather protection too.

I agree with JMo, KTM are cheap and fit well , look good and give very good weather protection. If you are going to ride in wet weather check out Tucano handlebar muffs, I use them on mine and use summer gloves all year around!
I had to cut the wind deflector parts off the KTM handguards and just use them to support the Muffs. I have a good pair of handguards for the summer.

Barkbusters

Dirt Bike Bitz on 0845 643 4222 will supply barkbusters for the Tenere for around �86, i can't remember the exact figure though. I recieved them in about 2 days even with the postal strikes! I did mod the way they mounted them though as they give you an expanding insert for the end of the handle bar. I cut my original weights down to about 25mm and tapped a thread into them. I then had to extend the thread on the supplied bolt (with a die) as it's shank wasn't completely tapped.

I'm quiet happy with em and i don't have any weights hanging out the end looking ugly!

Gory
