Generallly the design and placementof things like mirrors is such that you can check them without taking your eyes of the road. The bar end ones might give the bike a cleaner finish but despite what you're saying I suspect they are not as good as the originals. For one point they look smaller and of course that affects your field of vision. One a personal note I don't lke them being on the end of the bar it just means the hands are more cramped. All that said I guess it is a matter of personal taste. Enjoy the ride and be safe.

Those are all valid concerns, but I believe that these help fix a major problem with thestock mirrors where the majority of the mirrors vissiom was obscured by your elbows. Here they offer a much better rear view

I might be the only one on the internet who actually likes the classical mirror positions , I do not like to look down for the mirror to see what I got behind me , simply not ideal.. I prefer to replace stock mirror with something decent which will not show my arms yet still will be fitted into factory style.

I just clicked on your Amazon, where to buy these mirrors tab. It is April, 2021, the price on Amazon is $47.99 for these mzs mirrors.. I went on eBay, and they are $22.99 free shipping. Same brand, MZS.. I have yet to find anything cheaper on Amazon on any product. thanks for the review of these mirrors that I did not know existed before. All I know is, the stock mirrors on my Z 400 just give me a limited view of my elbows. about Loctite. I have been using Elmers wood glue instead of Loctite since the late 1970s, On all my dirt bikes, trials bikes, street bikes. I tend to lose those little Loctite tubes, but the Elmers glue bottle is large enough that I don’t lose it

Why would you use red Loc-Tite on those? Typically you need a torch or a heat gun to get anything with red Loc-Tite off, which will totally melt your grips. Medium strength Blue or even Orange should be more than enough.

Great comment thanks for watching. I started using orange. Holds like red and breaks free like blue.

@@SimpleSimon I’m curious, have you had to remove the fasteners with the red stuff? I’ve only had a couple experiences with red loc-tite, and they were absolute nightmares. That’s why I try to warn when possible, sorry if it came off harsh. Thanks for the great content.

@@SimpleSimon Thanks. I actually just finished installing these following the instructions of this video, but I have an issue on the throttle side. I keep getting the throttle stick when I go to tighten the stock bar end down. No matter how much tweaking I do between tightening the clamp or the bar end, it gets stuck. Right now I have it loose enough where the throttle doesn't stick completely, however, I can spin the bar end. It doesn't seem safe. Any tips?
