Bar end mirrors for a curvy
Looking for some bar end mirrors for my retro/racer mod - problem is the curvy's bars have a pre-threaded inside, so most bar ends for 'hollow bars' won't work
Anyone found any that do? I'm really looking for some brushed silver ones that are just plain 'round' |

Re: Bar end mirrors for a curvy
The ones designed for hollow bars come with inserts that expand when tightened. Can't you just remove the insert and screw the bar end in to the curvy's stock threaded insert?
I'm just guessing as I don't have experience of curvys |

Re: Bar end mirrors for a curvy
Yes and no.
You can remove the insert to reveal the bolt (the gold bit in the pic below), so that's ok, but as with the image below, most seem to have a at least a short length of the main 'bar end' piece that gets inserted into the bar One option I suppose is just to remove the bolt and hack-saw that 'insert' bit off |

Re: Bar end mirrors for a curvy
Ahh I see. These look quite nice and don't look like they have insert bits

Re: Bar end mirrors for a curvy
Yep - having spent a good hour Googling, I think that's what I'll have to do.
I've bought a set of these to tinker with... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332444540909 |
