Grom Bar End Mirrors - Review - Install

[@jasongomezmma]

Thanks, actually installed similar mirrors on stock bars with stock screw, and when I got the pro tapers I had no idea how to attach them! Luckily I found your video. Awesome content

[@CTGromer]

Glad to help out bud, thanks for watching the content!

[@stuntbikejourney9582]

So glad to see this video posted. I have the mirrors removed on my cbr600rr and I’ve been thinking about the bar end mirrors. I needed to see this review! Thanks man you’re awesome.

[@stuntbikejourney9582]

I’m going to order some this weekend I think.

[@CTGromer]

I'm very glad you found value, thanks so much for watching!

[@fastestgsr]

Excellent write up. Thanks for your help. I couldn't figure out how to install on the throttle side. Nor could I find any other vids with it. Now i can ride a little safer.

[@CTGromer]

I'm VERY glad you found value. Thanks for watching.

[@emilywiseman3246]

Fitted the same mirrors to my Honda Forza very pleased with them and well made for the money

[@AngieD300]

PERFECT instructions!! The Grom I just bought came with the same ProTaper grips…I’ll have to cut them as well. Thanks for posting this video!!

[@Drive315]

loving that fz07 in the background. i cant wait to see more videos man hurry up... i have both a grom and fz07 now too on my channel

[@CTGromer]

Got another one dropping next week! The grom and FZ compliment eachother REALLY well. Enjoy man!

[@iantyers2086]

You can fit them to stock bars, just bin the expanding collet and use the stock screw to attach the mirror.

[@CTGromer]

You know I think you're right, stock screw FTW! Good call. Thanks for the comment.

[@the_Mike_McCoy]

"that's what she said!" I love it!

[@CTGromer]

The Office is one of my fav shows! Had to!

[@zeronomon]

Thanks for the video. Cleared one thing up for me... the ones I got off amazon did not have the expander insert :(

[@CTGromer]

That sucks, the product is incomplete then, send it back! That's ridiculous. Thanks for watching though.

[@alphaomega559]

Where’s the grom meetups close to us? I just bought a grom and have been looking to ride around with a group of gromers.

[@CTGromer]

We have them here and there, not as much now thats its cold and rainy, but we still ride regularly, hit me up on instagram (dsimon11) and we cant meet up!

[@shaneparker246]

Not a fan of them up top but do like them low. Also like that blue tint. Good review keep it coming

[@CTGromer]

I think they look better low too. On fortunately on my protaper KLX 110 bars, I couldn't see around my hands which defeated the purpose. Maybe on a sport bike or something with more swept bars it would be different.

[@shaneparker246]

@@CTGromer Right..... Have too see. Well thanx I think I'm going to try apair. I mean for the price why not I'm sure one of my bikes they fit good on. If don't on the grom

[@CTGromer]

@@shaneparker246 Sounds good bud, let me know what you think if you get them!

[@ichibangrom9735]

Good job Bro!!!! I was never a fan of Bar End Mirrors. I always break them off when I crash? LOL

[@CTGromer]

That's a problem! lol!

[@anthonybranchflower4308]

How did you just move the throttle tube over . The controls have a nub that go into a hole so they don’t slip . I Had to drill my bars so I could tighten the controls back on

[@tnacluff]

Hey CT been looking into the Grom for a tv/film concept. Coincidentally enough my production company is based in Central, CA. I was shocked and happy to see you riding down Minnewawa past BHS in one of the videos. Would love to grab lunch sometime. I’d really appreciate your advice/expertise. It could really help our film project. Please reply if you’re cool with that. Thanks! - Travis Cluff

[@CTGromer]

I would love to meet up and chat, hit me up on Instagram - @dsimon11 or email me, email in my "About" section here on youtube.

[@medusa569]

You don't mention if there is any mirror side to side adjustability. It looks like it might be a swivel head but not sure.

[@CTGromer]

There is complete adjustability, the mirrors are on a little ball joint or swivel head, whatever you want to call it. Thanks for asking and commenting!

[@firedog5339]

I’m sure you’ve covered this before, but are those KLX bars? I’m running XR50s and don’t have near the horizontal space before the bend that you do.

[@CTGromer]

Yep, I run the DRZ/KLX 110 Protapers in 7/8! The Xr50s are a bit higher right?

[@firedog5339]

They are. They feel fine to me, but the lever perches sit basically right at the bend which causes the levers to not sit squarely with the rest of the controls. When you pull in on either the brake or clutch, they strike at the tops of the grips instead of dead center. If that makes sense! I still run them though.

[@CTGromer]

Fire Dog it does make sense, I understand what you’re saying. That sounds frustrating!

[@rodrigofilhoH]

I’m going to buy a grom next year

[@CTGromer]

Rodrigo Filho I continue to campaign that they are one of the best investments you can make! Let me know what you get!

[@hewettewong4642]

Did you drill a hole into the pro taper bar for the throttle controls ? If so, did moving it back to make space for the bar ends on the throttle side make your controls loose once again? (Since it’s no longer sitting in the drilled groove)

[@Ash-hv3oi]

Greate mate, love from the Uk 🇬🇧

[@CTGromer]

Thanks a lot of watching! Glad the UK audience is enjoying!

[@billysbikes8671]

i think your silly for putting them upside down :P i was like how is he going to see through his arms ohh right he's going to install them twice! would love to see some performance mods to the sf before you sell it! or how about make it an off roader!

[@CTGromer]

I sold the SF last year unfortunately man :(. There are several guys in our local squad that have knobbies on their groms and regularly off-road them. I'm not too keen on offroading my grom, I keep it on the street and have my DRZ400 for offroad adventures!

[@ryanlake7603]

How do you like those pillow top grips? Been looking at them..

[@CTGromer]

They're outstanding! The wear and tear on them you see is about 2,000 miles worth. SUPER comfy. I'd recommend them. Thanks for watching!

[@enjoy-the-road]

I love your videos , you have also audience from Israel...

[@CTGromer]

Iftach Frenkel that’s so awesome! Greetings to Israel! Sending love from California! Thanks so much for watching the videos, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content!

[@MaanKulwinder]

How are the ball joints? Sturdy enough to hold mirrors at place in speed?

[@CTGromer]

Good question. Yes, definitely sturdy enough to hold the mirrors still at speed. I have not pad a problem with them.

[@WideOpenThrottle]

Not too shabby

[@CTGromer]

Thought they came out nice, they've grown on me for sure.

[@theboogieman401]

Getting mine in today !

[@CTGromer]

Hell yeah dude! Congrats!

[@friarpesel5646]

Woooo prying the end off with that razor 😂 the wrong tool for the right job! Hey, it worked 😊

[@CTGromer]

Definitely worked lol! What would you have used?

[@friarpesel5646]

Super thin oil painter’s palette knife or a dental pick. I have pried with a razor before but I’ve also cut myself real extra good like that so... I’m a bit shy about it now 😬

[@rodrigofilhoH]

I love your videos bro give a heart

[@CTGromer]

You get a heart bud! Thank you for the compliment, I try hard to make the content enjoyable!

[@rider6.0]

Cool. Yah its nice to have mirrors but i still look around. As long as you dont crash into cars that stop suddenly your good lol.

[@CTGromer]

Lol, exactly. Here in California to be legal you have to have at least one, so that's why I run them. You're absolutely right, looking in mirrors are NO substitute for looking over your shoulder!

[@lbonvillain-wm4ds]

wtf honda bars are 7/8"? and why do these mirrors companies keep making mirrors for 7/8" bars that no ones has anymore

[@chipoplouss]

As cool as my bar end mirrors are its made my bars to long for filtering through traffic. But they are cool though

[@CTGromer]

True, they add just a little bit more on each side, I always have to be very careful when I filter here in town.
