How do I remove the bar ends on a Core Sensor 2S bar?
I want to re-grip the bar properly. On other bars like Slingshot or North/Duotone, I simply drilled out the pop rivet. Anyone done it on a Core bar?
I know I could to the handle grip wrap, but not why I'm asking.
I want to do this with a shrink tube.

Well, I took off the old grip and there is a bolt that can be driven out. Looks like it's the one holding the bar ends. Still could not get the bar ends off without using excessive force. I'm sure it could be done but not sure if they used Epoxy to put it in place. So I will just revert to wrapping the bar with bike handle bar grip tape.

Here is what I ended up doing for a new grip.
