V7R Bar ends and mirrors
« on: August 17, 2015, 11:02:07 AM »
I'd like to replace my mirrors and bar ends, but I'm unsure of which bar ends work with the threaded V7R clipons? Trying to get something from a site with free shipping to canada too :P.

Also unsure on bar end mirrors. Been looking at some of the bikemaster options for quality vs cost.

Thoughts?/Tips?

I went with metal Napoleon Bar End mirrors for my V7 CafĂ© Classic.  I had to saw the part of the mirror that would insert into a bar off and then screwed them on with the fasteners for the bar end weights.  Worked well for me.

All the Rizoma options use screws with the same threads.  It's like they were made for the bike.

I like the Rizomas, but theres no dealer close to me. A little pricey too...

I've never checked to see if there is a dealer close by.  I've always gotten Rizoma from Parts World.

Oh, nice. So the Rizoma Bar ends work with the V7R too?

CRG's HS & LS mirrors also work (I get mine from Bevel Heaven), if you can live with the convex lens. The mirrors can either mount on the bar itself, or in a 10mm channel cut from a standard bar end. They provide an excellent view of what's behind you, but the convex mirror can cause difficulties in distance discrimination (sic).  Corsa Italiana in the UK sell matched mirrors & bar ends, which look good.



CI don't list the bar ends separately, but I picked up some when over there last year.

By the way, BarEnder make a version of their helmet lock bar end which fits flush to the bar with a threaded 6 or 8mm end, but a channel would have to be machined to take the HS mirrors.

I use these on my V7R. Need to change the mounting bolt with something from HomeDepot and, if you want a completely clean look, get creative with the space between the solid handlebar and the base of the mirror. I think I used a chrome Harley axle spacer and a rubber washer.

I had Rizoma reverse retros to start wanted more mirror after using them for a month. But the rizomas fit perfectly without having to do anything else.

Classic Napoleon Barens hacksawed off with a nice star washer against the handlebar for prevent migration.

Yes they do! They are pricey but the visibility and clarity is quite good for a small mirror.

Just ordered the Rizoma Retros from AF1, and blue bar ends to accent/match my red/blue/white helmet :)

I bought a set off ebay for 20 bucks to see if I would like mirrors mounted there. They didn't fit at first, too small. I wedged them open and used a round file to get them to slide on. They work great, and I am not going to spend 100.00 to see what is behind me. These allow me to see behind me without shoulders or elbows in the way.
Edit  they look just like the ones on tonupracer's bike.
