Throttlemeister help

[zigzag]

My Aprilia came with throttlemeister ends installed but I'm trying to transfer them to new bars and I do not have the puller piece that came with the unit. Anyone have one? Willing to rent it to me or sell? Or any other way to pull out the mounting plugs from the bars?

Are you sure the mounting plug is supposed to come out of the bars and go with the ThrottleMeister?  I only ask because my experience has been that the ThrottleMeister screws into the plug that originally held the stock bar weights, mine didn't come with anything that slid into the bar to hold them on.  That said, mine were for two Honda's and maybe the setup is different for Aprilia.  Either way, good luck.

try spraying a little wd-40 in the end of the bar, then thread the bolt in about half way, give it a tap with a mallet and it should loosenen up, then pull out with a pliers on the head of the bolt.

This will work great assuming the nut on the backend is still there to thread onto.  If it's not a captured nut you can take a small toggle bolt and slip it through the hole and pull it out using the method mentioned.

+1 I can't remeber the design??? I was thinking is was a cone shaped nut that slides into the outer knurled piece??

Yeah the mounting plug is in the bar. I've read you need the removal tool to get it out. Doh...
