1. Why does this bike have this, but all the big brand dirt bikes do not? I’ve watched many videos on YouTube about guys installing new handlebars and controls on dirt bikes and not a single one of them have this system with a pin and a hole.

2. If I decide to remove the pins, what’s the best way to do that? Just yank them out with a pair of needle nose pliers?

Possibly the plastic is that soft or so badly molded they don't clap on the bars
as they should..... after all where was it made...
