Hi all
I've recently been considering taking my RS on track as a learning exercise, and as part of making the bike track ready I needed to fit some lever guards which are generally a requirement for track days.
Having looked around I found these Oxford items, which combine lever guards with hand protection. They are not too bulky and I'm thinking I could get them colour coded to my R1250RS Exclusive at the same time as having my panniers painted.

I've bought a set and they are a well made item from aluminium so I think this will be a good route to take. Taking off the stock bar end weights is obviously straightforward. However, there is a spacer included but it is not wide enough and so when the lever is screwed in there is a gap as shown the picture. The spacer is loose so that's clearly not appropriate.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I could use as a spacer instead...? or another way to address this?
Also, the stock bar end weight is 259.5g and the Oxford, with the guard attached, is 259g. Therefore the weights are the same so hopefuly won't adjust the feel of the bars too much, but if anyone thinks it will then would be good to know.
