You could remove them, sand them and then use hammerite
Voila, just like new

FYI if you end up going for the R&G bar ends they do not come supplied with the screws so you need to keep the original screws from what you have now.
I got stung by that one and ended buying some Honda screws from David Silvers.

Re: bar ends
OEM Original ones are black not chrome. As long as they are heavy for damping vibrations, clean them up and spray em up any colour you like as Flatline suggests.

Re: bar ends
I replaced mine, but cant remeber the make............I selected based on heavy is better and i went for the largest mass.......it reduces the vibration as previously stated.
note that you need to use specific versions for the Honda, not generic ones. there is a steped face on the mating part in the handlebar, and you need the bar end to match that

Bolts are M6x~60 countersunk (ish) If you wanted some flashy ones. "boltmeup" on ebay is a great seller!

I made a spacer thingy out a bit of pipe which went round the stepped face to make it level.cheekykev wrote:I'll vouch for that, I've been thereAMCQ46 wrote:
