Flexx Bars, Hand Guards, and Hand Guard Mount Inserts

Post Date:  1-15-2012
Last year my elbow started bothering me, so I thought I would try a set of Flexx bars.  After speaking with Tom Ferris at Enduro Pilot, I went with the FL1001-10-31SD, or the 10 degree Enduo Bend 31SD.  Being that these are Flexx bars, I also purchased a set of Cycra Pro Bend hand guards.  Since these are probably going to be my main handlebars for years to come, I thought I would splurge and also get a set of System Tech Ridgid Handguard End Insert Mounts.  Enduro Pilot offers a discount if you purchase the hand guards and the flexx bars together. 

Installation of Inserts:

The inserts require tapping out the bar end with the supplied tap.  Mark the tap with the desired depth, then tap until desired depth is reached.  Be sure to use lots of lube on the tap.

 Once you complete tapping the bars, be sure to clean out well.  I used carb cleaner and an air compressor to clean out the debris as best as possible.  I then threaded in the unit using ample loctit.
