I pulled off my bar end weight and found I was wrong. It appears it mounts with the usual split rubber plug. The threaded nut was just too far in to be reached with a shorter screw. I used a stack of 2 or 3 one-inch fender washers to space the weights out enough for a good fit to lips of the rubber handgrips.
So you could use a bar snake. If you do, please report how it works. The bar end weights work very well, but not perfectly, since there is residual vibration in the right grip. If a bar snake works well, I might just add that too.
I also weighed the two items. The Buccaneer OEM weights are 6 oz. each, and the Guzzi ones are 14 oz. Quite a difference.
