I bought these to go with Nashbar bullhorn handlebars (38clamp/42width). The fit is very loose. How do I make the fit tight?

Pull the rubber piece off opposite if the silver piece that inserts into the handle bars. Under the rubber piece is an Allen head screw that you tighten. I believe the package may have come with some sleeves if they are still loose after tightening the screw fully.

What is the bar ID? Is it compatible with the size of the levers? Like someone else had previously responded, you tighten the levers by removing the rubber cap and using an allen key. If you have tightened this all the way already, then your bars are simply too big for these. If you tighten them and the fit is close but still slightly loose, you could probably rig something since the mechanism is simply an expander shiv; maybe you could wrap something around that to give you a little extra leverage.

Watch U-tube videos for install...I had a tough time installing but eventually got them on...it would depend on the size of your handle bars and if you can remove the caps.

There is a hex drive on top of the handlebar as you lok down at it. Tighten it and that should work

John,the STS model you are already sitting straighter.Why would you want to put risers on it?I don't believe there was any changes to the handle bars in size. It's just how high they sit.I do believe there would not be any problem with fit.Have fun riding!

If you use the Thule fit guide it will tell you exactly what parts you need. I suspect those bars are too short. Please don't hesitate to call with any questions. We are here to help. Cheers.

I am not positive, but I used these on an older bike with what I would consider standard size handle bars. It is an optical illusion, when you see the clamps you will not think it will fit, but I pried the clamps open and then used a pliers to close them and they fit fine.

Do not over tighten. They are locking nots. If you keep turning they will strip. Just make then snug

You can get o-rings at your local hardware store. I cut a hose clamp/ worm clamp in half. Then with some nippers remove a couple of the "ladder rungs" leaving one for the hook. Then place a small piece of old tire tube around the handlebars to keep the assembly from drooping. Tighten clamp snug. This is my super tough mount. Crashes well.

Thats what I put them on and it worked but I ended up using the stock bolts on the bar ends because the bars have a welded nut at the end. You also may have to adjust the levers for the bar clamp

Sorry, unfortunately I don't know and I don't have the grips anymore. We didn't use them as bike grips as intended but for a completely unrelated application. What I would say is that they would be the right size for a conventional handlebar, not over or undersized. The quality seemed very good.My apologies that I couldn't be more help.TyB

I use multiple bungie cords. loosen and turn handlebars, then tighten back up.

For me I just set the rounded depression on the bottom of the light on the handle bar. I took the smaller rubber band and wrapped it over the front groove of the mount, then stretched it under the bar and over the groove on the back of the mount. The tension in the rubber band held it tightly in place. Please tell me what is happening for you and I will try to help.

These grips fit standard bike handlebars very nicely, but aren't dumbbells on a larger diameter bar? As such I don't believe they'd be appropriate.

I purchased this bar for a gas powered bike throttle fit perfectly...but I can't confirm the size.

I had the same problem You can get them from your bike dealer or go to a fastner company like fastenal. I ordered mine through fastenal I have one close. If I can find my invoice for them I will post it here with the part number. I found my invoice but no part # the ones I ordered are stainless steel 4- 40 cap screw 3/4 inches long but might not be the same for what you need I checked the length I needed buy putting the ends on and stuck a small wire through the hole and marked it then measured it and the 3/4 was a perfect fit for me.

Insert the expanding plug of mirror into end of handlebar and twist mirror to expandthe plug until tight then adjust the mirror. I had to cut an opening in my handlebar grip in order to fit the plug.

I cannot find a fitment guide anywhere for these, a lot of what I am seeing as they fit different bikes but you would have to modify.
