We're in the same boat. Happy for salt wash and installing hand guards. SW-Motech made my Kobras and your Barkbusters so likely same kit, basically. You're at the most difficult stage: handlebar weight removal.
I'm a novice but I would try a breaker bar on the screws. Mine loosened easily but sounds like yours have thread locker. Removing the inner weights was the real pain. I didn't want to peel grips back and/or remove throttle tube (?) so I didn't press through holes near bar ends like the instructions suggested. Instead, I used the method in this helpful video:

Start around 2:40. He also has a separate video about just the weight removal. Try not to crack the end of your throttle tube.
Remove those little clips first. Note, getting inner weight to twist while pulling didn't help but brute force while rocking up and down did. Best of luck.
Louder horn is needed. I just cant get a definitive answer as to what is pretty much bolt on, plug in, with no extra wiring or whatnot. That is gonna be my next addon.
I was finally able to ride mine into work yesterday. I got to work and noticed that there was oil down the side of the cylinder and on my leg. The valve cover that was recently screwed up by the incompetent shop is leaking. So today, a Saturday that starts out in the high 50s and should be in the 70s when I go home, I am driving my pickup. Monday I am going down there again and insist that a different mechanic fix their error. I thought about cutting my losses and fixing it myself but I am so upset at that shop that I think it may be time to let my wife yell at them.
Replaced the taillight bulb today.
