For the Australian guys, after seeing this great video I searched Bunnings for a full hour. Their electical/lighting section sells 'Deta' brand conduit reducer PVC 20-16mm' pack of two for 22 cents. I used some sand paper on either side to get it to the right width. Snug fit around the tread of the bar ends. Works great.

Funny thing, I just did this yesterday, but I used a mop aluminum handle to cut off the sleeves for the mirrors brackets. Found this video today, while watching your awesome license plate bracket manufacturing instructions! Thank you for the knowledge share!

Thanks! I have a few things that need to be done in the garage and I'll try to do a video when it's done.

I got a 1/2" copper connector (not pipe, 1/2 copper pipe won't fit over the threads but the connecter is a little wider so it will). I spilt it in half with a Dremel tool, wrapped them in electrical tape to make the visible part black and that was it. Simple, no drilling, or messing around, and it only cost $1. Just remember to use locktight.

I just got the mirrors in today, going to install them soon! Did you find their magnification to be much stronger than OEM? How do you like them for day to day use?

After installation, did you experience any vibration in the handlebars, even when using the stock bar ends? Great video. Which integrated taillight are you installing? I recently installed the Blaster-X. I was to impatient to wait for the tst industries one.

Could you use steel tube? Instead of pvc? So you could tighten it down more? Or do you think it’s not necessary??

@MotoSouth

5 жыл бұрын

I've seen copper pipe used before. I'm sure steel would also make a good option as long as the outside diameter isn't so large that it affects the throttle.

Can you pivot the mirrors on the fly? for instance right before lane splitting, pivot the mirrors up to lane split and then pivot mirrors back down once clear.

It’s a 5/16” or 8mm push pin. I got them from Autozone but they can be found online as well.

So following these steps (wrote it all down) you didn't have any issues with the throttle side sticking when tightening down the bar end with the spacer? It didn't look like you tightened the bar end with an allen? What is the torque spec do you know?

@MotoSouth

4 жыл бұрын

You have to have the spacer long enough so it doesn’t interfere with throttle operation....Extremely important. I may not have shown it on the video, but definitely tighten it with an allen. You won’t torque them down to “spec” since you are now tightening against it plastic spacer. Just tighten enough to ensure it doesn’t loosen up and use thread locking compound to safeguard against it as well.

I assume no issues with throttle ? I ended up securing the mirrors to the very end of the stock ends in the meantime because the throttle kept sticking. it isn't the most secure method but I had to remove the stock mirrors. I'll try this method. Thanks for the tips! safe riding!
