Anybody know how to take off Plastic end caps of handle bars ?
I took screw out cut a little circle ( 3/4 inch ) of rubber grips , plastic cap under neath , it shows separate on Yamaha parts, I have Small mirrors I want to install they insert into end of handle bars, my buddy has them on a 14 Viper ! How to take off plastic end cap ? Any wires in there ?
I tried prying them, a little drilling in center there got to be easier way am I missing something, hopping one of you guys have fiddled with this ! Thanks in advance !

Can you take a pic of them? I dont recall anything in my bars since when removing grip with air I had to plug the holes. No wires in the bars on mine. Why not just drill bigger till they fall out? Use a step drill.

I started after trying , prying, screw back in then gripping with vise grip and hammering against screw ! I drilled with probably 3/8 inch but then hit some metal so stopped, I'm heading out but caps are shown in Steering section of Yamaha parts # 31 called a Nut , Maybe that's part of answer a Nut ! Lol Thanks again

Air. They are only glued up by the blocks. Is a chance you will wreak heaters though. I normally just buy new grips. Score the old with a razor blade being careful not to go through and rip them off.

Hey Cannondale , Thanks , that was it rivet in the way ! Had to drill thru , that was the metal I started drilling thru ! Then dremmel, file rivet from inside, trying to get it from outside you would be monkey arounding heated grips !
