DIY Bar End Mirror Install



5 Minutes into bringing the bike home, I started tinkering.

Heres a guide on how to install bar end mirrors


Tools:
Assorted Allen Wrenches
Saw/PVC hose cutter
15mm ID PVC Hose
Loctite



Remove the balancer (it is in itself a giant bolt)


You will need a 15mm ID PVC pipe.. Just very little so, but the bare minimum or ask the hardware store if they can give u scraps


Mine is used but who cares.. I had some lying around


Measure the thickness of the pipe as thick as the clamping part of the mirror
It can be a hair thicker but not too thick
Cut it!!


Here's what it looks like.. It will be a little loose.. But don't worry..


Thread lock everything.. Don't wait to retighten


Hand tighten first.. And locktite the balancer too


Slot on the mirror clamp but don't tighten.. Then slide the pvc sleeve on the end


Screw it in... For the throttle, tighten but adjust the balancer until the throttle isn't sticky


Done product
