Throttle Grip End Cap Install Advice

Hello All,

I am having difficulties installing the end cap to the handlebars on the throttle side. I removed it with an allen wrench to fix my throttle grip. I've fixed my grip, but now the end-cap won't screw back in. It doesn't have threads, but it has a screw that seems like it might self-thread the cap into the handlebars but I'm not for sure. I talked to a mechanic at a dealership and he recommended pushing down towards the ground while trying to screw it in with an allen wrench. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bike Model: 2000 R1200C

Try loosening the screw really loose (just started a couple of threads). Rotate the pieces around until everything fits the hole and push the end-weight into the handlebar. Then tighten the screw.

Not sure what model we are talking about, It looks like a GS or Roadster piece from tubular bars?

You need to separate the bar end T-lock from that long handlebar insert and get it back inside the bar. Then reinstall the T-lock with some blue loctite after cleaning the old stuff from the oval screw threads
May be in need of a new screw if it is a self tapping. I am scratching my head trying to picture that screw. Turning one backwards slowly may index the thread, you may have better luck with a T-wrench allen.

That lug is not sold separately and I have never tried to remove one, surely someone has.

Always state the model and year of the bike in question.

That seemed to work well at the beginning, but eventually it starts rotating in place...
