Womet-Tech Bar Ends for Yamaha FZ-09 / MT-09, XSR900, & NIKEN

The general weight and finish of the product is good. The threads are clean and there are no unfinished edges/burrs all around. The slider pucks fit great. The color is off, and they are an eye sore next to my other anodized red parts...sorry, not sorry. If TST offered to ship me black replacements as a good will gesture, I would not turn them down. Please reach out and you have a customer for life.

Advantages: They threaded in without issue; Install is very simple; The slider puck should save the bar ends in a minor drop

Disadvantages: The red is, in reality, a shade of orange. We need to be honest about that, simply put. Your "important note on color" is just lazy. Work with the manufacturer to be better. To say this is a problem with all anodized parts is simply passing the buck. I have cheap-ish Chinese levers that are truly red, and after two years have not faded as one may worry about. Hold your vendor/manufacturer to a higher standard. For this reason I have to give only 3 stars, as a main selling point of this type of product is the aesthetic. I wish I could attach a picture, as I am not being sensational about this.

Great craftsmanship, color is not what I was expecting. Bought the level one protection kit for my 2017 fz 09.

Advantages: -easy to install
- great quality

Disadvantages: -does not match the blue caps on the frame sliders. Color is more of a lighter shade, does not match like I was hoping for but still a good product. May change them out down the road.

Been using these on all of my bikes. Low-sided on my FZ09 recently, and the slider took it like a champ, just got shaved off cleanly on the road, and left my grips and the rest of the handlebar intact. Highly recommend them, especially for the price!
