Thanks for the video. I bought the same mirrors and placed them below the bar as yourself, I do like the aesthetics. BUT! I found the visibility is much worst! First, the throttle hand obstruct the mirror and can’t see what’s behind me. I’ve tried different adjustment positions and no luck. Second, the mirrors are small, again the rear view isn’t great, plus arm is in the way. I love the look of it, but unfortunately I went if a ride with them and I didn’t feel very comfortable with the fact that I can’t do a proper mirror check :/
@Kamdorian Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! Yea it all depends on the size of your arms and shoulders location while riding. For me I can still see great in the back but I do understand where you could have issues and see some of your wrist and arms. The safest option would be to mount them above the bar, still a nice low profile look. I may switch mine to above the bar at some point. Good luck and ride safe bro!

So I followed your link to Amazon and some of the reviews of people with vulcan S state when installed it creates a lot more vibration due to the barend weights being removed. Did you notice this and if so was it bothersome or were you able to correct? The mirrors look gorgeous. Just dont want a lot more vibration. Thanks for posting all these mods!
@Kamdorian5 ай бұрын
I haven't noticed any vibration in the bars after adding these mirrors. The mirror weight is similar to the stock mirrors. Someone also mentioned using longer screws that allow you to keep the bar end weights on so that could resolve their vibration issues but like I said I haven't felt any added vibrations. Good luck and ride safe!
@Darktidejg315 ай бұрын
@Kamdorian I don't know if you ever fixed the headlight turn signal staying solid but found the below on the Amazon review for it. May help. "the turn signals and DRLs are wired in such a way that they are not compatible with solid state LED flashers, even though they are LEDs. I don't know how this is possible because I'm not an electrical engineer, but when using a common solid state, no-load flasher, the DRLs backfeed 6 volts across the turn signals and cause them to stay on instead of flashing, while my rear turn signals flash normally. The only solution I found (after 3 days of trying different flashers and much puzzlement) is to get an electromechanical flasher such as the Autozone Novita LL352, and two 6 ohm load resistors. I'm guessing that on the bikes this kit was designed for, there is an incandescent gauge light in the circuit and the resistor isn't necessary."

Do these hit your tank when you turn? I was hesitant to consider these mirrors because the way you have them installed, I fear you could damage your tank if you lock your bars left or right. You might want to flip them up so they sit on top.
@Kamdorian3 жыл бұрын
I tested them out at full left and right turn, they do not hit the tank. It's all about the angle you keep the mirrors at. They would certainly hit the tank if the bracket and mirror are angled incorrectly. It's very easy to adjust and yes can just flip the bracket to be above the bars instead of below if you like that look better. Many options for mounting!

how do you like the led headlight? Can u still use the factory windshield?
@Kamdorian2 жыл бұрын
Love the headlight, much brighter and looks way better than stock imo. You cannot use the factory windshield because there is no more room on the forks for the windshield brackets. Only way would be to use a different bracket for the headlight or a bracket for the windshield that goes into the top cylinder of the forks.

How would u compare visibility compared to stock ones?
@Kamdorian3 жыл бұрын
Visibility is fine, it is actually better than stock in my opinion because the angle shows more of what's behind you. The stock mirrors are in front and top of bars so you always see the side of your shoulder/arms. With these bar ends the view is fully clear and wider. There is only a slight reduction in view since the bar end mirrors are smaller than stock, but not by much.
