You're drawing is of a Coerce clipon. Don't cut it off. Trim a hole in the new grips and slip them on with the plastic end-piece protruding from the hole. These are good bars for the track or if you crash alot because you can replace only the bar (used to be $10) without replacing the whole clipon. If you have a slight mishap these bars skid as well as any frame slider. The plastic is VERY hard.

Its the bar end weight? Phillips screwdriver to undo the screw on the very end.

Some chopper bars I've bought in the past had little half circle plastic plugs so that when you whacked the size of the bars down you could stuff them back in and hide your hideous hacksaw job. Should also be able to razorblade a hole carefully in the end of the grips if they wont go on far enough if you cant get that thing off.

No, you cannot use a different bar end on these bars. If you want to go back to stock bars just ask around here - I'll bet that are plenty to be had for cheap. They have all the weights and fittings that can be ordered from Honda (if they don't come with them). Then you can install barends and grips of your choise.

Another thought to getting out the plug is to run a deck screw or something similar into the plug and then pull it out. Shouldn't be too difficult, but, as already stated above, sounds like these aren't OEM.

900RR Rear, F3 Front

What kind of rear sets are those?

Why would you want to convert back to stock if you already have sweet clipons? But it you do, I'll trade my stockers for yours.
