MOTOGADGET M.VIEW SPY MIRRORS: Installation on Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 // Bar end mirrors

In this video, I'm removing the stock mirrors on a 2020 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and installing Motogadget M.View Spy glassless bar end mirrors. Here's what the installation process looks like - from start to finish - on a Continental GT 650.
These Motogadget mirrors are lightweight and sleek. Not only a breeze to install, but they look amazing on this cafe racer bike!
I purchased these bar end mirrors from Revival Cycles. If you want to learn more or buy them for yourself, check out the links below.

Vibration of mirrors is a problem I have had on most of my bikes (and my trucks too). Glad you found ones that don't. Ride safe and stay healthy.

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks for watching! Stay safe out there and enjoy the ride. 😎

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

Nice install Joy, the new mirrors make such a huge difference in the appearance of the pretty blue bike, Joy as in your name it was a Joy to watch this video, good job girl ✌️ N ❤️💯

[@JoyonaBike]

They sure do, don't they! 😊Thank you for watching! 😎

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

@@JoyonaBike anytime girl 💯

[@TyposGarage]

Great video! Very easy to listen to. The new mirrors look way better. Ride safe!

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks, you too! 😎

[@jesusissonshine]

Really like the new look. Go girl !!!

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you!! 😉

[@Born2BeSmart]

Clockwise and anticlock wise? Because i want buy cap to insert fill that side mirror hole. I dont want rain or anything inside

[@theChestnutMtnTinman]

Nice install Joy, those new mirrors look really good on that bike. Great job and video. 😎😎

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you! They really do look pretty good. 😆

[@keloniomannamoinolk7153]

4:18 There is a lot of distance between the end of the throttle and the end of the handlebar half. How have you solved it? 4:37 it looks different

[@JoyonaBike]

There's no change in how much space. I think the difference between those two shots is that 4:37 has a little black spacer around the handlebar, to try to fill in that space. You might want to check out my last video on the GT mods (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5nHf3R5rtyWmdU) because my husband ended up using a Dremel to shave a sliver off of the handlebar, that way everything sits flush together.

[@keloniomannamoinolk7153]

@@JoyonaBike thanks

[@motomitch]

Could you flip these so the mirrors go under the bars instead of over? I just got a GT650, am looking to swap out the mirrors but have heard the stock RE bar end's will touch the tank if you go under, so I'm looking at other brands that are smaller (like these).

[@masudalam6655]

Installing Bar End mirrors and Handle guard/clutch, break guard in GT650 together...is it possible ??!!!

[@adubs22]

Good video. Just ordered a set for my xDiavel.

[@JoyonaBike]

Awesome!

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Those mirrors look way better 👍

[@JoyonaBike]

I think so too!

[@Viper918]

Actually looks really nice on the bike, great stuff.

[@JoyonaBike]

I think so too!

[@HaveMotoWillTravel]

They look great. I enjoyed my stay. Thanks

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you!

[@paulaus]

The accessory RE Black Bar End Caps would finish off the Mirror install nicely.

[@JoyonaBike]

Agree, black would look good.

[@TheGearedRaven72]

First off you are so stinkin cute....and I love your hair. Ok now on to the video..good job girl! Love that bike and those mirrors make it look even better. 👍🏻 love the little bloopers too. Like when the music stopped. Lol

[@JoyonaBike]

You make me blush! Thank you! 😊But yes, they really upgrade the look (and aren't bloopers the best, lol).

[@FeedOnSpeed]

it looks great!! watching all your install videos really make want to do SOME type of mod to my bike but idk what 😂

[@JoyonaBike]

That'd be awesome! 👏🏻

[@danamiller7309]

just got mine installed but, dude! how do you keep them clean. they are fingerprints magnets then you try to wipe it off and it just smear all over.

[@kevinjohnson4733]

Hi Joy, your installation looks perfect, but in my GT650 the bar end spins along with the nut when I try to unscrew it, any advice?

[@JoyonaBike]

Hi there. You will have to hold the bar end tight to stop it from spinning. You might be able to grab it tight with your hand or use a tool to hold it in place, something like channel lock pliers. The bar ends are easy to scratch though so you'll need to protect them with something, or use soft jaw pliers, if you want to keep them. Hope this helps, good luck!

[@kevinjohnson4733]

@@JoyonaBike I tried doing that but I removed the whole bar with the bar ends that was inside the Handel bars. Even after removing I tried to take off the bar ends but failed it's really really tight. As of now I can install a bar end mirror but this process much more tough than removing just the bar end 😐.

[@keloniomannamoinolk7153]

To date, have you had any problem with the mirrors? do you recommend them to me?

[@JoyonaBike]

No problems with these mirrors. They’re quality and very clean looking. I would recommend!

[@keloniomannamoinolk7153]

@@JoyonaBike Thanks

[@michaelpalombo154]

you seem to have no trouble removing the throttle bar end. i tried and it wouldnt come off. took a screwdriver to force seperation after unscrewing....no luck. my intent is foam grips

[@faroulsabari3483]

Mine too. I did tried to open mine but I wouldn’t come off

[@KricketSpaceBun]

I enjoy your install videos. I love doing small little upgrades like that.

[@JoyonaBike]

Glad you like them! And yes, love those little upgrades that can really change the look of the bike.

[@ravendon]

Great video!

[@JoyonaBike]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mysterymacaroni]

Love those mirrors. I have some on my Cafe Racer.

[@JoyonaBike]

Awesome! I'd love to upgrade the mirrors on my TU250X, too. Maybe soon.

[@rolandkeith5322]

That's a better look and cool install video as well

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks very much. 😊

[@captainmoto206]

They look great. Good content.

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks!

[@utharaptortrex]

U don't actually need to losen the nut to remove the mirrors. Just turn the right mirror clockwise and the left mirror anticlockwise and they come right out, no need to risk scratching.

[@JoyonaBike]

Good to know! Thanks for sharing.

[@dbc1dc]

Nice, was looking at these for my S1. May I recommend, to never ever ever ever, even if you think your won't use what you are removing again, to use jaw pliers on a bike. I cringed and when I saw those come out:)

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you for the tip! I will keep that in mind. Do you have a recommendation for an alternative tool? I saw there is such a thing as soft jaw pliers? (But then again that's technically jaw pliers.)

[@dbc1dc]

@@JoyonaBike I usually just use an open end wrench, with a piece of electrical tape on whatever is being removed and replaced, to reduce any marring. I guess if you were going to trash them then why not use pliers? But I usually keep the stuff I remove, in case there comes a time when i sell it, maybe someone wants the original stuff:)

[@HaggisPower]

Knipex pliers wrench have smooth non marring jaws. Check them out,

[@keloniomannamoinolk7153]

does the box have both mirrors? I already bought them, but they haven't reached me yet.

[@JoyonaBike]

You may have already received your order (and answer), but the the box doesn't have both. They're sold individually.

[@coldpeople]

I have exactly the same bike but cannot get the bar ends off, I can’t figure it out

[@JoyonaBike]

Did you ever get them off? We had to hold the bar end tight to keep from slipping. Might need to use some kind of tool to hold it in place.

[@coldpeople]

@@JoyonaBike hi, I did in the end 😂, it was difficult, I used a hammer and chisel to slowly knock them out

[@JoyonaBike]

@@coldpeople Glad to hear! I didn’t even think to address it in the video. 🤦‍♀️ But it’s a hot topic. On the other hand, I made sure to show how tough it was to remove the bar end inserts when we installed the bar end lights. Those things weren’t easy either!

[@vas4uin]

Hi,i am ordering mirrors for my GT 650,I saw some others videos for installation while they try to take out those bar ends a set of huge bars are coming out from handle bar.But in your video its just those ends came out easily .I am just wondering is this anything to do with 2020 model RE?? I want to do it by my self but kind of scared .LoL

[@JoyonaBike]

For installing the m.view spy mirrors, I did not have to remove those huge bars, I only had to remove the little bar end piece/cap. However, there might be other mirrors on the market where you will have to remove those big inserts, I just didn't have to for these mirrors. To remove those little bar end pieces, you will have to grab them tight with your hand or a tool to keep them from spinning in order to remove them. Hope this helps!

[@vas4uin]

@@JoyonaBike Thank you for explaining every detail with patience . God bless you couple

[@albyjjj]

Great video! Love those mirrors, How do you cover the stock mirrors holes? What size are the screw?

[@scottnagel2516]

albyjjj The holes are M10.

[@JoyonaBike]

I haven't covered the stock holes yet but it's on the list. Thanks Scott for the info!

[@danielwilliams8397]

Thanks for the demonstration!

[@JoyonaBike]

Daniel Williams You’re very welcome!

[@vas4uin]

Hi ,those bar ends can be removed from the tools provided by Royal Enfield ?

[@JoyonaBike]

Yes, they can.

[@albyjjj]

What can i do if when I try to remove the bar end it keeps spinning the whole weight inside?

[@JoyonaBike]

Try using something to help keep it in place. I haven't used soft jaw pliers before but that's the first thing that comes to mind if you want to try avoiding damaging the metal.

[@JacketHD]

Hi Joy, why you shouldn’t tighten too close to the throttle again? Btw, those mirrors look awesome!

[@JoyonaBike]

Hey there! Tightening them too close could restrict the movement of the throttle, and it's good to give it a little room so that it can snap back without any resistance.

[@scottnagel2516]

My Gt 650 is the same as yours,, You have great taste too. ;-) so I had to subscribe. When I try to take off the bar end Allen bolt it just spins without coming out. Did you have that issue? I hate to pry it out.

[@albyjjj]

Scott Nagel i’m having the same problem now... don’t know what to do.. any idea?

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you! I did have that issue also. Had to grip it so that it stayed in place. Maybe try a tool. Perhaps soft jaw pliers might do the trick to help keep it in place and minimize the chance of damaging the metal?

[@fabianoH5N1]

Sadly the spy Version isnt legal in germany. Also did you get plugs for the mirror holes?

[@JoyonaBike]

Bummer about not being legal in Germany. Haven't gotten plugs yet, but on the list.

[@THOMSONRICHARDS]

Just a feed back , Your voice is coming only in the left , music comes in both left and right , but when you talk the voice is only in the left ...

[@DEESHOOM]

Are those functional or just for the looks?

[@JoyonaBike]

They’re functional.

[@hootNhollar]

Lollipop, that's what I've always called mirrors like your stock mirrors. Many bikes, ok, all the bikes from the '70s had them. And somehow they've managed to survive, while bell-bottom jean's didn't. 🥴

[@JoyonaBike]

I like the term lollipop! 😁

[@yomontomoto7461]

i wouldve cut the plastic spacer to fill the gap.

[@JoyonaBike]

Yea, we might do something in the future to fill that space.

[@linkinreddy]

♥️

[@cruise_control]

When the bike falls, the first one that will get damaged is the mirror...

[@JoyonaBike]

Actually, Royal Enfields are designed in such a way that any time they start to fall over, they flip right side up. Like a cat.

[@zackdreamcast]

$250 for mirrors, damn that’s a lot….

[@JoyonaBike]

Lol, yes, it is. But they’re quality. And we decided to do quality on this bike.

[@jimmyb4982]

You have to protect the nuts, yes 🙄

[@JoyonaBike]

Jimmy B Yes, you do have to protect the nuts...
