Have you removed the little plastic dowls on the switch gear ? Quote Link to comment

Duckndive Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Drill hole were the plastic peg was drill the bars and use a roll pin .. 2 Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 they won't stay tight on the bars, you need to drill for the peg. or wrap tape round the bars. ive used some shim steel in the past, you can get it in sheets. Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Don't remove all the plastic peg. Not a problem on 3 of my bikes with Renthal's fitted. 2 Quote Link to comment

wraith Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 If you've removed the plastic lug (why do people do this ?) As above ever rap with tape or drill both switch gear and bars, I've used a chopped off part of a rivet before works a treat. 1 Quote Link to comment

johnr Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 if tape doesnt work, cut a shim from a beer can and wrap it round the bar under the switches. Quote Link to comment
