The NT1100 and Africa Twin have a fair amount of handle bar vibration and I think bar ends are a must. The NT1100 install instructions are not bike specific, it was a video for a honda sportbike? The NT1100 and I think most African Twins come with heated grips. There was no way to move the control assembly like in the video to detach the grip innards for them to be pulled out. I did try to pull them out but it didnt work. For a workaround I used the honda bar end **** and simply put the evotech bar ends on without the evotech bar insert. The Africa Twin bar ends do not come with an insert and are a direct replacement. The NT1100 is the most popular sport tourer in Europe and now is available in the US. Evotech should offer NT1100 bike specific bar ends and instructions.
