ok, does anyone know what thread the XB mirrors are ... ? I want some smaller ones but don't know what will fit and what don't.

On my M2 on had bar end ones, they were cheepy ones that fit the 7/8" renthals I had and were great, the Bars on my STT are Pro Taper Evo's and the same mirrors wound right up still don't fit, which means I will be needing some more conventional style ones. This leads me on to what will fit and what wont. Been looking on a variety of sites and rizoma do some lovely ones but at £80 (-VAT :roll: ) they are a bit pricey when I will need two of them!

Apparently some KTM ones fit and look good ... Tubbs do you have anything to fit oversized bars ... ?

Suggestions ... ?


Maz, don't look like that!
:oooops:

Go to you local hardwear (B+Q etc) builders merchants etc,etc and get a rawlbolt that'll fit up yer bars :o They come in all sorts of sizes. Use that to fit your bar ends on with ;) I always use them instead of the poxy fittings that come with bar end mirrors :D
If you get one that uses a M8 thread, I've got some long, button head, stainless set screws that'll look a bit posher than the zinc plated bolt they'll come with 8-)
