If you do a search on Renthals, you'll find a few of us have done it.

Search for Renthals, go to about the 5th page of the results and a thread by Tobers about Renthals and oem bar weights.
Can't do a link on this stupid iPad!

Iv fitted a windham bend bar but by a different manufacturer no pit falls all comes apart with a Torx key set you need a Torx socket for the main bar clamps but change them for stainless Allen keys much more user friendly you will have to drill two small holes for the left grip & switch that's how it fits on I did also mod the handguards & took a bit off each side of screen BUT that's only cos I wanted lower bars you'd prob be ok if you want to use standard hight or risers.

I fitted the RC 604-01 renthals a couple of weeks ago.
I made some inserts to fit the end weights rather than rawlbolt type expanders but either will work.
I've ended up narrowing the bars by 25mm each side as I found it a bit of a stretch when pulling out of junctions using lots of lock, it feels much better to me
some pics of how it looked before I narrowed them here

Iv used proper alloy inserts not the 8mm rawlbolts they didn't fit anyhow so was lucky I had some spares about

Same as the ones shown in this pic you can buy direct from eBay

What is the Renthal tube internal diameter.


Sent from a widget that can't spell.

 

[bikemad]

Mine are just under 13mm but that's the normal ones fitted on my Yamaha & the dia of bars that's now on GS

 

[Keef Mayhem]

The internal diameter of the fat bars I used was 14.2 mm which can be tapped straight out to M16, hence the inserts I used were made from an M16 bolt drilled & tapped to M12.
I'm too tight to buy bits when I can make them quickly and I have the tools to do it

I'd rather say just proud to do it rather than have it done for me.
