quick adapter i made after needing some bar extensions for my handguard to go on my DR 650 and seeing they wanted like $50 for $2 worth of aluminum thrown on a lathe for 15 mins. Then one of my buddies had the bright idea of using a 10mm socket that are only like 3 bucks a pop so i eventually came up with these.

uses a 5/8 Husky socket for a 3/8 drive (SKU 623-577, if you cant find any at the store look by the adapters as one of them also ends in 577 and the night crew are hella lazy) as the spacer. might work with other brands too but no guarantees.

You will also need a longer bolt (75-80mm.) The hand guards i have use a M8 bolt so thats what the internal hole is sized for, but i still used a drill bit to bore it out a little bit more.

These will add zero strength to the bar ends, it just keeps the bolt nice and lined up and you will probably immediately die if you do use these so only use them to help line everything up and if something happens when your riding with them i told you so.

the socket's OD is also exactly 7/8 so use that information as you will. if the ID of your bars don't fit the little nub coming off the adapter, just break it off and it will honestly probably still be just as strong. I needed to move my throttle tube out 1/4in so i figured a little extra support wouldn't hurt.
