    If they're the same as the Mille's then....

    "Clamp existing bar end & unscrew bolts on end.
    Using Molegrips unscrew internal nut."

    Pshaw! I've had 2 milles[1]

    No idea how the bar ends come off, sadly. Eddie's had one, I think.

    [1] more on the new one at the end of the weekend, when I've had more of a
    chance to ride the thing, but in short "it's all good"

    Not since somebody tried a U-turn in front of him, he hasn't.

    Still that was a whole year ago, so you can't be expected to remember.

    *ahem*

    I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but if you still need to
    know, mail me: I'll have a look in the workshop manual.

    7.1.9 REMOVING THE GRIP ON THE LEFT HANDLEBAR

    Carefully read 0.4.1 (PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATIONS (sic)).

    o Position the vehicle on the stand.
    o Turn the ignition switch to position "[1]".
    o Use a pair of adjustable pliers, with the jaws wrapped in adhesive
    tape so as not to damage the counterweight, to hold the counterweight still.

    Counterweight screw driving torque: 10Nm (1.0 kgm).

    o Unscrew and remove the screw.
    o Remove the counterweight.
    o Slide out the pin.
    o Slide off the O-ring.

    Grip end driving torque: 35 Nm (3.5 kgm).

    o Slide off the end piece.
    o Insert the nozzle of a compressed air gun between the grip and the
    handlebar.
    o Blow air, moving the gun's nozzle with a rotary movement and, at the
    same time, seize the other grip with the other hand and slide it off.



    [1] The character for the 'off' position isn't on my keyboard.
