I am about to change out the bent handlebar on the CB and tries to take out the weights in the ends. The outer part comes of Ok but the inner part is not easy to get out. Anyone have any idea? I have put a screw into it and tried to pull it but wouldn´t move much... Do I need some kind of lubricant on this? WD40 maybe?

There was a topic earlier this year you may or may not have seen Click Here
Towards the end of it @teamster1975 suggests the screw in the weight but using a slide hammer approach rather than pulling on it.
Before you break into a sweat getting them out, does your replacement handlebar have the same internal diameter so they will fit properly?

The inner weights are held in place with clips that locate in two holes about an inch in from the end of the bar. These holes are accessed by moving the grips. The clutch side can be slid off easily enough but the easiest way to access on the throttle side is to slacken everything off and move the grip and lever assembly along the bar inwards. Saves any faffing around with the cables.
Just re-read your post. Obviously you have the bars off the bike so the holes are already accessible.

Saw that tread when browsing for info but missed the slide hammer part...@GollyGosh wrote:There was a topic earlier this year you may or may not have seen Click Here

. New one should have the same internal diameter but can´t know for sure until I get the internals out so I get my caliper in... 
Thanks

Will need to look into this. The bars are still on the bike as I thougt it would be better to have the bike hold it for me if I needed to get a bit violent...@Beresford wrote:The inner weights are held in place with clips that locate in two holes about an inch in from the end of the bar.

Just an update on what the internal weights look like. The holes for locating the clips are about 10mm in from the end of the bars
