Tracer bar ends.

[El Bandito]

I was getting a fair buzz through the bars around 5k rpm like many others but it is now pretty minimal after I've had my 600 service. I was thinking of getting some bar ends but because of the handguards on the Tracer there seems to be a limited choice - R&G ones or loads of Chinese ones.
Has anyone added any aftermarket ones and did they make any difference?

There are R&G ones specifically for the Tracer as they need to fit on the outside of the handguards. I've got my original MT07 ones that I had before I fitted Givi guards on it so I can give them a try to see if they make any difference but I'll need to take my handguards off. That's fine just now but I ride through the winter so I'll want them on to give me at least a little protection.
As for fitting the MT07 ends, I'll need to get an Allen key (10mm I believe) so that I can remove the insert in the Tracer bars to allow fitting ordinary bar ends anyway.
