Bar end mirror experiences
« on: March 30, 2026, 09:24:22 PM »
Cb750 K2. I have the Euro style bars. Looking for bar end mirror success stories with pics if possible. Don’t want them to stick out from the ends much - it gets too wide. Appreciate any experiences. Thanks

Sorry I can't do pics.  But I can recommend Napoleon brand (Made in Japan) excellent quality!  Lots of chinesium on ebay and the quality level is low but they are so damn cheap just order lots of extra's.  As far as the width, yeah it can be a problem in a crowded garage but that is why they work so good for seeing behind.  Many have fold up options for maneuvering in tight spots.

If it works good, it looks good...

I inboard mounted bar end mirrors on my xs650.  You can see in them pretty well, and they are tucked in tight.

I had one similar to this on a Suzuki, I liked it.

I bought some decent but cheap ones from Fleabay a few years ago -- I wanted small ones that would fold back if I needed to ride between stopped cars on my 350F. They work really well -- don't really have a stalk like the Napoleon style ones do, they're right there where they mount at the end of the bar.
