Mental note to self:
Go Locktite the bar end weights.
CX500 Turbo, GL650I, Two CX650E's, and one Crown Jewel of the CX line- CX650T.
Why do I own five CX/GL bikes? Ask an alcoholic why he drinks.

No, the American 650T uses different handlebar weights, plus you would probably have a hard time tracking one down anyway.

You know what. . .
I think I have one somewhere. I don't know where though. With two bikes in pieces, and half a bike in storage, it may take me a while to hunt it down.
However, If you don't mind a heavier bar weight, a CB250 Nighthawk bar end fits nicely. I just put a pair on my tarped Eurosport.

i will take a look at that other barend but think the original is best it is slim and doesn't rub the grip like the larger one ...

Hmm,
Just a thought, get some other handlebar weights, remove the one you have, weight it and either add or cut weight off the chosen replacement until you have a match.
I don't recommend it, but my last set of handlebars actually had lead shot or BBs in it.

The lead shot is meant to help take out the vibration, much like any movement takes energy to make it move, the effect of the shot 'bouncing' removes the energy(vibration) in the handlebars. About 20 years ago the French Ski manufacturing company "Rossignol" produced a ski with a lead 'absorber' on the tip, got mixed reception and dropped after a few years but they spent a lot of money researching the effect, so I suppose it does have some value. Anyhow back to the subject, I have a machinist who is currently making a set of bar end weights for me, if you like I could get him to make you one as he has not yet produced them. Let me know if yes.
