Just got back from a ride out. The right hand side of the handlebar near the mirror seems to have a gap. I have no idea if that gap has always been there - I suspect not.

I tried to push and pull stuff but nothing. Is it possible that there was a weight on their or something and it’s just fallen off?

Thanks as always

Banana for scale?

Is there a bolt/screw in the end of the handlebar?

It's one awkward reflection, Michael, How much could it cost?

I'd be more concerned by the shirt!

I'm fairly sure it will need loosening somehow, pushing back in, then tightening back up.

So the bar end is an indicator.


Banana shirt is a shirt

Set fire to it

Jeez, don't suggest he set it on fire himself, you'll put me out of business.

For fucks sake you shits- any sensible suggestions before I go to Reddit?

It's already been mentioned. Undo the bolt in the end, push it back into the bar, tighten the bolt.

That would strike me as the sensible suggestion - you will need the right sized Allen key.
Whether you do that , or burn the shirt first, is you decision

Have you tried hammering it back in with the sole of your shoe?

It's vibrated loose. Undo the Allen bolt, push it home and tighten it up again princess.

High heel or UGG boot?

Should've bought a Harley
Guessing they're Motogadget jobbies, in which case no Allen screw, just unscrew the indictor, could be tricky depending on how long they've been on there / seized up



Oh and do remember to hold the exposed shaft, don't come crying to us because you've forgotten and twisted the wiring to buggery, best bet is to get a man in.

You said "exposed shaft", Docca is currently laughing...
