“Stock mirrors have a better view” Yeah of my arms lol

@MCP101 Жыл бұрын

same here. In superbikes the stock mirrors are useless

@CheetahNL Ай бұрын

If I turn them to the outside, I cannot see what's directly behind me. If I turn them to the inside, I mostly see my arms (but I get a glance of what's behind).

im looking into bar end mirrors for my z900 because the stock mirrors give me a nice view of my arms.

My bike came stock with bar ends and they are brilliant. Only problems are when they are loose. Just ensure you have quality bar ends. Plastic ones have these issues. Metal ones don't but add significant weight and will change how you handle you bike and feel

i am looking at compromising safety of handguards for barend mirrors because my stock mirrors do not have enough adjustability for my ergonomics set up.

Beats not having any mirrors like some folks do. On some motorcycles like my T120, the OEM mirrors offer more value as retro aesthetic piece. I replaced them with Triumph branded large round bar ends and can see a lot better than stock.

good review, i just got the Rizomas for my 19' Ducati Monster 821, ive never had bar end mirrors before so ill need to get use to it lol, the look vs oem is by far cleaner! prob w all oem mirrors is we all see part of our elbow, looking forward to installing them. ill be getting the metal adapter kit (LP200B)to install bar ends (MA534) I've heard its rec vs the black rubber piece, more rigid, holds better etc. cheers

@TylerCharest 2 жыл бұрын

The look is definitely cleaner 👌 Thanks for watching and sharing! Getting the proper adapter kit is a good idea, my current setup suffers a bit because I’m not using the adapter. Cheers!

@andyrennie31 2 ай бұрын

cheers for the true info .I've started to do the mirror on my left side .Its moving round, and without actually clueing the insert in theres no way to stop it from turning at a quick pace. I want to be able to take it out later if needed I might just give up the idea n just keep the standard mirrors . It looks great but if i can't get it properly stuck in theres no point lol

@TylerCharest 2 ай бұрын

To stop the mirrors from moving, I cut strips from a metal soda can and used the strips as the insert. It could leave marks on the bar ends, but it stopped the mirror movement. #mirrorhack!

@stilldajoker 2 жыл бұрын

sometimes I take one hand off the handlebar for a second --- left or right --- different reasons --- but these bar ends take away one avenue to get back to your grip. Still want them for the look.

@TylerCharest 2 жыл бұрын

That’s a good point. It probably took me a week or two to develop the muscle memory to not hit the mirrors with my hands. Smooth sailing now, but certainly a learning curve. Thanks for sharing!

I switch end bar mirrors because my regular mirrors I can not see behind me because only show my shoulders and I stand 6` 1" on my Piaggio mp3 250!

@jakes8444 Жыл бұрын

Yeah same exact issue here. I have broad ass shoulders (I'm also 6ft) and no matter how I adjusted my mirrors all I could see was my shoulder. the tiny ass bar ends I have are actually functional and are night and day difference

I want to convert the bar ends to internal mount. Broken on the first time down on the first day on the street triple. Not acceptable. My Honda went down twice and mirrors are fine.

@VictoriaStobbie 2 жыл бұрын

I thought you were gonna talk about that it can lighten the front end causing a greater chance at speed wobbles. That’s my concern, and wish I knew before installing not bar end mirrors but bar end lever guards which look sick, but lighten the bars. I didn’t notice much change in vibration as of the one ride I did after a month of install this mod. Cause I recently got my licence back hence the hiatus. But good video, informative and I didn’t know they moved randomly sometimes but makes sense.

@joeykulakowski902 2 жыл бұрын

Was about to say this. Also, it's dependent on the height of the rider but if you tilt the arms down more you can see much more behind you. I have a similar Puig Hi-Tech Type 4 mirror and I set them up so the arms are almost horizontal. Through this I can see a wide view of not just my sides but behind my back. IMO if you set up bar ends properly it'll do a better job than stock mirrors

For all my attempts on bar ends I always have this problem: the mirror in the way when you are pushing the bike, almost always makes me switch back to long stalks but the style is always drawing me back.

Lol the style is hard to beat...and the functionality is definitely lacking in some regards, but I'm still a sucker for bar end mirrors 😁

@CaptainJCRage Жыл бұрын

Those mirrors are mounted incorrectly and oriented the wrong way. You need to rotate your mirrors 180 deg for you to get the right view of traffic behind you and not your shoulders.

@marko_s1000r 2 жыл бұрын

Do these basically just go over the bar ends you already have?

@TylerCharest 2 жыл бұрын

I just have them installed over the stock bar ends (the mirrors come with a variety of spacers). Rizoma does sell bar end adapters to ensure proper fitment with the mirror. I think they're an additional $50 per side.
