My wife and I were watching this las night. She remarked "ooh they look smart, get these for your bike" I checked the price on Hitchcocks winced a bit but she who must be obeyed (sometimes) persuaded me that I needed them. Oh well it's only money. Can't wait to get these fitted to the bike.

Hey Shane.. Did you buy the mirrors? I'm in Australia too.. Did they arrive unscaithed..

Thanks for posting. This answers my mirror question from another comment I left.

Better and better all the time. 50k+ subscribers, it's the big time now!

Wow, that’s some coincidence. I literally ordered these mirrors for my soon to arrive Gunmetal Grey Classic 500 last night, probably about an hour or so prior to you sending your video live and then wake up to this video now. Seems like these mirrors were meant to be. Thanks for posting, it’s great to actually see them on the bike. They look great!

The same one are mounted on my bike. Looks great, great visibility and the weight diminished the vibration on the handle bar. Perfect choice.

Diminishing the vibration would be worth the price of admission... my hands go numb after an hour on this bike.

Brilliant video as always Stuart and those mirrors are mighty fine looking mirrors indeed, and look superb on your bikes 🏍👍🏻

I don't know how you make a video of changing mirrors so interesting. lol You have skills my friend!

Nice job as per always Stu. I know that I will be getting a pair of these for my 650 INT. I just used black plastic plugs and a tiny bit of super glue to blank the old mirror holes on the current bar end mirrors installed now. I'll be moving those to my Himalayan. There was no need to paint and I ended up with a much more flush finish than metal screw plugs. Thanks.

Congratulations on 50k subs Stuart, well deserved.

Absolutely Fantastic Video Stuart. Those mirrors are indeed gems to adorn any bike. Looking for a couple of bar end mirrors for my T120.

Very informative video,thank you.Ordered mirrors from Hitchcock and thanks to your instructions fitting was easy.The only thing that went wrong was the blanking screws which were over sized and the only way I could fit them was to file the thread off and force the screws into the thread.It worked but took ages to do but couldn’t be bothered to send screws back.Anyway thanks again for the video.Still haven’t ridden bike on road yet,waiting for lockdown to end.

there is a left and right handed thread. did you get them mixed up?

Good Morning :) Thank for all of yours tips and trick - very helpful , and I will definitely check these mirrors up and hopefully I can get them in black to my Black tribute . Although my bike came with touring mirrors and as what I’ve heard they should be a bit better than the standard mirrors , but I’m not satisfied because the don’t cover the right angle and that’s is what’s is all about . So , thanks and wish you a great weekend- to cold in Sweden to ride but soon I guess

I have also used these mirrors for many years, generally, only on British and Italian bikes and only one on the right side, I also fit them underslung therefore missing my elbows, you quickly get used to it there. I currently have one fitted to my 1953 Ariel KH500 Twin and 1973 Laverda 750SF with the intention of one on my 1973 BMW R75/5. They really suit these bikes.

You crack me up stuart! Haha! I just put a deposit on my first bike..... used 2020 royal enfield black 500 🥰 have a good day

The rear view mirrors are Awsome!

Nice! That makes the 500 look so much better in my opinion. Made in England and they are "Bullet Proof". I ride a 2008 H-D Dyna and a 2017 Triumph Bonneville Street Cup. My Triumph has ( Thanks to you ) Brass fuel cap, brass fork stem nut from Motone. Motone turn signals (black) and British Customs stainless chain guard. I also want the brass caps for the front forks you showed us a short time back. I have the Black and Silver Ice paint job with gold pin stripes ( carriage stripes ) so the brass looks great with the gold. Stay healthy and Ride Safe. Bill, from USA.

Thank you for another educational video.

I've had that brand of bar end mirrors (rectangular shape) on my Bonnie with Thruxton bars for about 10 years now. well made and in that time have covered about 150,000 kilometers with no issue, except for some minor dents on the front caused when hitting bugs, beetles, stones, etc at speed. like the made in england bit for this aussie. to break the loctite seal, heat the allen key on the stove then place it in the screw socket head. heat will then transfer into the threads where the loctite is and soften up. you may need to do this a couple of times for the heat to transfer sufficiently

I’m in total agreement with you Mr Fillingham ... some riders perception of what is safe makes me shudder. Those that consider these mirrors make the bike too wide think they see Mr Rossi when they look in the bathroom mirror. If there ain’t no room I don’t go through. I don’t wanna die. !!!

These mirrors show high standard craftsmanship. It looks more beautiful on the classic 500 sir 👍.

Nice one Stu! After the last video I found myself on Hitchcock's' Website and got myself some anti vibration lugs to fit the original mirrors :) As to your problem of having selfies when taking pictures - That is the main reason why I got the Pegasus model (as long I don't try to snap a shot of my claxon - but I will fix that soon enough :) )

Ha! you said that I'd drop a bolt no matter what Uncle Stu... I took my time and was very careful.... and guess what? I dropped a bolt! :) Great video as usual, and the mirrors and blanking screws look fantastic on my Classic 500. Drive safe my friend.

Another helpful video.

Great videos Stuart thanks…keep up the good work. I’m thinking of getting myself an older air cooled Bonneville T100. I’ve watched all your Payday Project videos. Just wondered how that is going forward? Not seen it for a while.

Lovely stuff Stu, I think the bar ends are a massive improvement on the stock mirrors which are a bit naff. Love your garage paint by the way that dark blue/grey is fab, but I haven’t the energy to do mine!!

My mirrors for my triumph are In the post at the moment, cant wait to fit them, got the motone mirror blanks too, they look good, they just look like brake and clutch lever pivots. Very unintrusive looking.

Those Halcyon bar end mirrors ''made in England'' look much better than any equivalent type sold today for modern Bikes. ie: the modern Triumph range. I personally do not like those, thats why I've stuck with the factory fitted items...Great view of my elbows....Good point about Bar end plugs/weights. My Striple has a very strange system, one that seems to lock one into factory made items..Bloody sneaky!! Thank heavens for CNC.machining.

Does removing bar end weights increase vibration?

Very nice modification Sir, can u please share me the details regarding this mirrors.....i also want to buy the same....thank you 🙏

Dear Uncle Stu. I believe that handlebar ends are blocked, as a cya exercise, by manufacturers, to ensure that nobody cuts washers from their bellies during 'Terminal endo' demonstrations. Please don't change anything on the channel,music or anything- it works !!

Pavement Pizza - Brilliant :-)

The stock mirrors on the RE 500 are hopeless, the stems are too short, all I see are my arms, and they vibrate into uselessness. These replacements are not just aesthetically nice, they are a virtual necessity. I am assuming the view from them is clear and steady.

I would love a set but unfortunately the postage and handling to Australia costs almost as much as the mirrors. I got a heel, toe shifter sent to me from the company , because my foot couldn't fit under the gear lever and including p+h it was just under Aust.$100.

17/11/22. Hitchcocks site states item no longer avaliable 😥

Have you tried the Halcyon mirrors with the ball joint fixing? I'm concerned that I won't get the proper viewing angle with these mounted on my "Clubman" style handlebars. I live in California and don't wanna waste the £26 postage . . .

Is it suit for honda highness

Can this be fitted on new classics? 2022 models

Can you tell me where I can get these pls in black

Does it fit new classic 350?

And the end bolts are both threaded normally? I still haven't got to off the right hand bolt on my 2020 C5, and stopped trying, from fear of breaking something. The left hand one came off quite easily.

Stuart could you look at where insurance brokers get their data? My Interceptor KV20 AZT comes up as a Contintntal GT according to all the search engines except DVLA who have it correct. This has cost me a years insurance premium because when I pointed out their false records to the insurance broker they refused to refund my premium.

I was wondering when you were going to get rid of those mirrors. No filtering here, it's illegal and I'm not sure I'd do it if it were legal.

@@stuartfillingham Gday Unky Stu.. I've just bought a set or bar end mirrors for my bike.. They came with cup fittings that go over the end of the bar (after the end weight is removed). I can't work out how to tighten them properly.. I get the angle right then tighten with a 6mm allen key but one knock the wrong way and they come loose.. I'll keep at it though.. I got one right but the other mirror when set to the same angle and I can't see anything but the ground.. Grr.. Bloody annoying.. Also when riding they take a little to get used to.. With the OEM mirrors you don't have to bob your head.. You just glance down with your eyes.. But with the bar ends its a definite nod down to see anything.. I'm getting used to it, but after riding for 40 years it feels really weird not having mirrors just under my eye line.. They do look the part on the bike though.. And I found two rubber grommets that fit the old holes nicely.. I wish there was a way I could send you a pic of my bike... I've done pretty much all the mods you did.. Except for that engine bash plate.. I bought it, fitted it then removed it as the noise it made was most annoying.. If it wasn't for my stumbling upon your YT page I'd hever have bought Emily... I'm up to 18,400km now.. I'd have clocked up more but was laid up for five months after my bike crash on my other bike... BTW.. Do you still have The Mule?

Royal enfield needs to bring the bullet 500 back with a kickstarter. The classic 350 without a kickstarter just isn’t a classic Royal enfield.

It’s a looker alright. Back to the future.

I think the original mirrors would have been chromium plated back from the thirties upto fairly recent times until chromium plate was banned.

I worry about bar end mirrors that don't fold up.
