Does anyone know where I can get a set of matte bar ends for a gen 2? I have gloss ones on there now and would like to change them to matte but can't seem to find matte ones. Thanks
Just paint them with a matte finish...Does anyone know where I can get a set of matte bar ends for a gen 2? I have gloss ones on there now and would like to change them to matte but can't seem to find matte ones. Thanks
That'll work. I will contact them Thank youThese: bar ends look to be flat. Better contact seller befor givin' them yer money. Rubb.
As compared to these: shiny Rubb.
Could powdercoat them?
I was actually wondering if that could be done.
I believe the OEM ones are metal so should be able to do no problem.
Thanks for the idea. Sadly no printer. On that note would the printer get the weight right?If you have, or know someone who has one, you could 3D print some. Motorcycle Bar End by Matt_Hutch
I posted these to Thingiverse years ago. Free (+hardware) if you have a printer. Or you could design your own?

Short answer, no. They weigh very little. I made these 3D Printed ones specifically for my Fatbar setup, where vibration was not an issue. The extra weight of the stock bar-ends, or even my old Brass ones was unnecessary. With my old setup (Helibars, Genmar tall riser) I rode for many years with the very heavy Custom Brass bar-ends shown here. Those babys are vibration killers! But as I said way overkill with my new setup. These will work on a stock bar certainly, but if your after vibration reduction its a no.Thanks for the idea. Sadly no printer.

The one I have is the Monoprice Maker Select Plus. I love this printer! It has had a number of upgrades to things like the frame supports, Fan shroud, spool holder etc. That is the cool thing about these things is you can just print better or new parts for them that vastly improve even the stock performance (sound familiar? ). I paid just over $300 for mine several years ago and it seems like the price is pretty much the same now even on Amazon! The only thing I really wish it had that some of the newer printers have is a self leveling bed! If I want good prints I have to check the level before every print. This is just down to the coil spring mounting of the bed and as I said as long as you level it it works superbly!I’ve wantwd to get one for a while. What would you recommend? Is there a way to scan a part and then print it?
