Frequently Asked Questions: Motorcycle Bar End Mirrors
-
What are the benefits of glassless bar end mirrors?
-
Glassless mirrors, like the Motogadget mo.View series, use a patented process where the reflective surface is micro-polished directly into the aluminium substrate. This eliminates glass breakage, minimizes vibrations, and creates an ultra-thin frame profile.
-
Are bar end mirrors road legal in the UK and EU?
-
Yes, provided they are E-marked. Look for compliant components like the Wunderkind Universalor Highsider Montana 2, which meet strict statutory lens diameter and viewing angle criteria.
-
How do I fit bar end mirrors to a BMW R NineT or Harley Davidson?
-
OEM handlebars often feature specialized internal threads. Fitting premium aftermarket mirrors requires a dedicated thread adapter matrix (e.g., M12 to M6 conversions for BMW R NineT or M16 threaded caps for Harley Davidson) to secure the bar end weights without modifying your stock bars.
