Hello,
Bought the Barkbuster kit to fit to my 2006 R1200GS and the thread in the end of the bars is bigger then the bar end supplied in the kit,
Any one had a problem fitting this before?

Looking at the bar end weight on the left..
Did you need a pair of grips to get it out? -
Reason i ask, is it looks mighty chewed up as though someone has used some Swan necks to fit and remove.
And secondly, thats not an 06 R1200gs bar end weight. in fact it's not R1200GS OEM at all -
All the R1200 Range from 06 to 12 & beyond, have a seperate bolt running through the end cap / balance weight (Just trawled realoem for you)
It is if i recall a T50 torx bolt on the 06.
it looks like the original end weight has been lost and an aftermarket one has been put in -
if it had a bigger thread, it would have removed the original thread. so the adaptor based on the original thread wont fit
If i recall the nut part of the original one is set back into the bar end some way -
you may be lucky that if an aftermarket end weight has been used it may be a just a nut in the bar end
You could try screwing a bolt in there and using a spanner & hammer usee the spanner as a slide hammer and see if its
had a smear of stud or threadlock applied to keep it in
