Fitting bar end mirrors..
Struggling to fit bar end mirrors onto Renthal bars.. the expander thing doesn't seem to want to expand enough inside the tube, so when I attach the mirror section and move it a little, the whole thing becomes loose and starts to spin.. 😕

Re: Fitting bar end mirrors..
you need to tighten the expanding part outside the bar end just enough to make it a tight sliding fit. once inserted into the bar end it will grip and let you tighten.

Re: Fitting bar end mirrors..
I have Renthal Streetfighter bars (inherited when I bought bike). I have bar ends on mine.
I went for the ones that go over the end of the bars & you tighten the outer bar to form a snug fit Add x amount of plastic inserts to make them fit snugly. You might find those fit the Renthals a bit easier. |
