whats this mean "Please be aware this kit requires the use of OEM bolts to secure the bar end to the clip-on."

Yep changing them is pretty easy.
OEM means original equipment manufacturer. In other words use the bolts that are already in.

most OEM bars have threaded bits inside so will be as simple as removing the standard ones, sticking the same bolt through the new bar ends and screw them back in

Yes, unless they are Triumph TT ones, which have a 3.5mm allen headed bolt that is made of soft cheese.

Seriously fella, it's easier than fitting mirror extenders

If you can remember that for a normal thread clockwise tightens and anticlockwise loosens then changing bar end weights is very simple. But why do you want to spoil your lovely B-King with such tat

"If you can remember that for a normal thread clockwise tightens and anticlockwise loosens then changing bar end weights is very simple."

or in simple parlance. Righty tighty, lefty loosy

Helps to put a dab of nutlock fluid on the bolts/screws as well

thanks everyone , the reason i asked was ,i can remember the bandit , and it wasnt that straight forward

Why's it hard to do on a Bandit then Dave? The only other problem I've had was on a GPz with extra long bolts holding them in, loads of threadlock and butchered phillips heads .

i heard that you can lose the ends in the bars , dont really know , but think they are different ,

If the bking is the same as the bandit and most Suzuki are then you have the bolt then the bar end , a round bit of rubber and a nut , so you need to undo the bolt a bit and then pull the lot out , then make up new and put in the bar , if you dont do this you will lose the nut in side the handler bars , hope that help

this is what i was worried about but think the b-king is different

No Dave, the B-king is as Madsod described.

It's a bit like a glorified wellnut. loosen a few turns - tap the bolt inwards to release the grab the rubber bit has on the inside of the bars - pull whole assembly out - reassemble using stock bits with your new aftermarket weights......simples If you do lose a nut down into the bars, once both assemblies are off simply push it through with whatever flexible wire/brush thingy you have to hand Or you can lay the bike on it's side and shake it out
