How do I remove stock bar ends?

[Eurothrash]

Good evening,

I'm about to purchase some bar end mirrors, but I'm not sure how to remove what look to be the stock bar ends. Any information on how to go about removing them? I don't know anything about the handlebar setup on these, so that last thing I want to do is damage anything.

If you dont want them, pliers! They pop right out

most have some glue on them pliers or a screw driver and slight hammer taps where they meet the bar

I wanted to ask... but i was not sure if I would be made fun of. I am glad to see that people answered straightforwards and did not give you a hard time.

I am now more likely to ask questions.

I high sided at about 45 mph and it 3/4 of the way popped out. After that it came out by hand!

they come off pretty easy, use channel lock pliers with a rag covering the teeth of the pliers so you don't mare them if you want to use them again
