Mirrors...

[talkriver]

Hi Talkriver, can you explain to me what parts you put to fill the space between your grips and the end of the handlebars since you installed your new mirrors? Custom piece?

Your supports look working well. The cost is reasonable.

I handled ends of the handlebar as followed.

Prepared items.

Two short pipes: 38mm outer diameter, 2mm thickness, 17mm long, SUS304 Glossy finish. Got from a web shop.
Adhesive rubber sheets: 1mm thickness, proper length. (300mm long ones in my case)

Sized the rubber sheet 15mm wide with a knife.

Put stock bar end caps on the handlebar. Rolled the rubber sheets on the handlebar up to diameter around 34mm. Cut unnecessary sheets.

Once took out the end caps, put short pipes.

Put back end caps.

Hello everyone,

If there's only one thing I hate on this bike it's those f... mirrors at the end of the handlebars ! Has a member of the forum managed to change them for "normal" mirrors which do not require you to take your eyes off the road and which do not hinder your hands when driving?

I've installed the frameless stick on convex mirrors on my mirrors and they completely solve the blind spot issue.

well done, they are even naughtier than before...
Just kidding, after all, everyone has their own taste!

I'm puzzled!
How can you look into any rear view mirror on any vehicle without taking your eyes of the road

sorry for the Google translation...it's a French expression! The idea is above all having to turn your head which is painful to look in these mirrors whereas with "classic" mirrors you only change the direction of your gaze. That said, beyond the way you look at the people following you, the look of these mirrors is simply, for me, crap...
