When you tight the screw from outside, the nut inside tightens. The more you tight the rubber gets expanded, thus holds inside firmly, simple right?
Now, the length! From outside it looks it can go full length and still it will have enough space.
Procedure:
I started with the right bar end, as that side looked complex. Made a circular cut out on the handle grip.
The end screw goes over the protruding rod. If the nut is at the end of the screw it gets blocked by the protruding rod, tighten the nut to move the rubber little bit above, so you get about 3 mm (as seen in the picture above). Also, make sure the angle of the screw is straight while pushing in, even that would make it stuck.
I won't say the vibration on handlebar is completely stopped, but it is very well controlled. It's just like a direct fit, no alterations or adjustments on any stock parts needed. This DIY is tried and tested on KTM Duke on a different forum, that was the inspiration for me to try it on KTM RC 200. So I would gladly say, this mod works on both the Naked and Faired siblings of KTM 200 machines.
