Bigmark- I have just had barends installed on my 7300. LBS did this for me . He took the short end of the grip off and put it on a spare set of bars and hit it with a hammer to cut the ends off. Reinstalled the short grips after he moved everything in . He then put plugs into the end of the bars and everything turned out really nice.I bought some rubber tubing and put it over the barends. It really makes it very comfortable.
