Is there any tips or tricks to get the bar end plugs out without drilling them? I'd like to install some bar end mirrors. Thanks, Tom

Hello and welcome.
The Interceptor and GT have different barend arrangements. If you do a search you will find a number of remedies. And if you say which model that you have, somebody will help you more specifically.

They're clamped in; no one here's removed them, which is not to say you can't be the first. The workaround that most use is buying or making a spacer that mates to the bar end plug - see uncle Stu's video@7.22

Thanks, I dig the Halcyons and have had them in the past. I also have some CRT's and wanted to try them.
Halcyon's are out of stock everywhere.  :-\

Hadn’t thought of taking a hacksaw to it.  Cool.  Is there a reason to keep the tab that’s coming out of the bar end? Is there a reason to not just file off the bar end protrusion so it’s flush with the bar end?

It's there to mate with a bar end adaptor so the mirror won't rotate - see TEC video@10.30min
