I switched to the FZ1 handle bar recently and found that my Rizoma bar end wasn't compatible. So I have ordered a new set of bar end specifically for FZ1 bars, and not those generic ones.
Well the problem is that the FZ1 bar end comes with a sort of bolt where the bar end itself is screwed in; and the bolt stick out of the bar like a sore thumb. It would seem that the handle bar should have been installed so that it's recessed inside the handles. See picture.
Now I'm annoyed because I have to take everything apart, drill another hole and then put everything back in just for those bar ends.
So if you are doing the FZ1 handle bar and is thinking of getting the FZ1 compatible bar ends, then plan for this.
