Without wanting to hijack, I've ordered some new ones from an Electra.

The thing is, how am I going to get the bar end weights out? They don't want to budge at the moment. If anyone has some tips, I'm all ears.

Are they held in by hex bolt or cross-head screw? Either way I would start with an impact driver. If they really don't want to move, perhaps invest in some nice new ones for your new 'bars, and keep your spare bars with their end weights intact?

[Carlsberg Wordsworth]

sorry Blairio, poor explanation. I'd meant the inserts as opposed to the weights themselves. new bars came with inserts for the weights to bolt into.

[longstrokeclassic]

I believe the inserts are either welded or rusted into place.

[heloego]

IIRC they are bonded in with an epoxy.

            I am curious (Yellow? ):

               When did bar end weights start? My 2008 AVL does not have them. Yes, I got it brand new.
