Triumph Street Twin Bar End Mirror Unbox & Install

[@pontypete7357]

Just lately triumph are taking advantage of there loyal patrons that buy there bikes with no quibble but as soon as you go back for any Triumph accessories for you bike! They Hammer you, its well enough to put you off buying their bikes!!! Do they deserve your Custom?

[@JPBARON25]

Aloha Tony, greetings from Hawaii. I just bought a Street Twin and all of your videos have been extremely helpful.Mahalo!

[@mancavemoto]

Mahalo Jim, Great to hear. Wow Hawaii, very cool. I would love to visit the islands someday! Malama Pono Tony

[@JPBARON25]

Views from the Man Cave It is a beautiful ride. If you ever make it here, please let me know! Will give you the Aloha tour.

[@JvrBrnd]

I’ve just installed my new bar-end mirrors following your instructions. So easy.

[@mancavemoto]

Excellent!

[@Christopher-kl5dm]

Totally agree Triumph should sell you the whole kit, even if with a basic end to finish it and as you suggest, you can swap out when it suits you. The 150 accessories is a great idea, as long as they don't appear to be milking it by charging high prices for tiny additional bits of kit that go with them. Can you please come back and show us the end result when they are on? Thank you for the video.

[@mancavemoto]

Or at least tell you that you need to get the finishers too. Once they are on I'll post a video walk around of the bike.

[@nighthawk537]

7 years later and still no end caps with the kit...

I think one could probably use those threaded OEM mirror holes to mount RAM balls for GPS or such.

[@greenambles]

Thanks for this (all be it 6 years ago! :-)) I'm just looking here as bought just the black bar end finishers (not with mirrors, I prefer my mirrors higher) so saw at 3:19 it a beyond simple job. Small moan at Triumph though...I bought the black pair for my (unsurprisingly) black Street Twin to change up from the stock grey for simple aesthetics but they supply with a standard metal (so grey) screw. Surely it would be a nice and logical touch to make the screw (or at least the head of it that visible) black too?! Mini moan in to the wind over :-))))

[@mancavemoto]

No worries, and yes that was my moan too. All of the black accessories come with silver screws

[@greenambles]

@@mancavemoto when I just fitted my black bar end finishers now, I took the stock greys off and then noticed the screw with them almost twice as long as that supplied with the new ones! Of course I'm sure the new shorter ones will reach, turn, tighten and bite adequately but I stuck with the originals. THEN when fitting a new clutch badge - the chromed and black with "TRIUMPH MOTORCYLES" on it in the round - it doesn't come with ANY bolts so I had to use the originals which not shiny (chromed/zinc-plated) but hot-dip galvanised, good for anti-corrosion but clash a bit with the required aesthetic...(btw I can hear what a moaning minnie I sound like here but these seem simple fixes - 1. charge a bit less for the bar end finishers and supply without any bolts as originals fine OR at least supply with ones of the same length as the stock 2. supply 2 shiny bolts to go with the shiny clutch badge 3. put the end caps in with the mirror kits!)

[@badmintonR]

Please Help - on my ST, I’m not be able to turn out the screw of the silver finish… I damaged the screw while trying… How can I get this off….

[@mgraham1996]

Hi do you have a part number for the fitting kit please? I have a 2023 Speed Twin 900 and they’ve either changed the handle bars or I’ve been given the incorrect fitting kit😢

[@mancavemoto]

The part numbers are in the video description

[@peterford9369]

I just recently bought the Triumph bar end mirrors . I have a 2005 t100 with 1 inch bars. It doesn't say they'd fit my bike, but graciously they fit perfectly on the original bar end weights, which are solid stainless steel black. The mirrors fit perfectly and look nice. For almost 200 bucks, they should. You only go round once right,? Thanks me friend.

[@mancavemoto]

Cheers

[@yatman67]

It seems on the 2019 Street Twin, the bar end finisher kit is not necessary. I guess the handle bars are either bigger or the grips are smaller.

[@mancavemoto]

The handlebars are the same diameter, maybe they changed the stock end cap so that it fits with the bar ends?

[@nm7311]

Good video. Nice suggestion on the alternate clutch lever clamp. Would it have been possible to shave a mm of height off the original cap to make it easier to screw in?

[@mancavemoto]

Possibly, but they don't quite 'seat' right

[@Virtualmix]

Great videos mate, still useful mid 2020. Cheers!

[@mancavemoto]

Great to hear! glad it helped out

[@midi510]

I'd have just used a fender washer until I got an end cap. I'd have painted it black.

[@JAMESNEILEVANS]

Thinking about speaking to Down & Out, early next year about shortening the frame on my Street twin for solo seat, short mudguards pipes, etc. Bike was an N category write off recently, ( superficial damage, pipes etc) so why bring to triumph, When I could bring to Down & Out! My first question is; I’m I correct in saying, the minute I shorten for seat, will I have to get custom insurance? It’s my first bike, it’s sentimental but it’s also my daily commute, haven’t got room at home for second bike. Any recommendations for custom insurance, if so? Second question; Am I mad spending loads, I haven’t got on daily commute?

[@mancavemoto]

I don’t really know too much about insurance other than you need to inform them of any modifications. Not mad at all....

[@robscherer]

Tony can you provide a recommendation for a black bar end to fit my street scrambler? I am running stock mirrors at the moment but I want to black out the end cap on the bars...

[@mancavemoto]

Sure, why not just paint them or get them powder coated?

[@robscherer]

@@mancavemoto Will do! Thanks again!

[@bluemaomao1]

thank you!!

You're welcome!

[@goneriding1853]

Hi Tony. Trying to fit bar end mirrors on my 2019 street twin but the 22.2 friction ring allows the mirror to move backwards and forwards slightly with the actual rings moving when done up tight. Is that correct? Thanks.

[@mancavemoto]

Are these the Triumph mirrors?

[@goneriding1853]

@@mancavemoto Thanks for the quick replay. Yes, but the one's from the speed twin.

[@frazzle657]

My bar ends are weird like an anti tamper allen bolt

[@mancavemoto]

That’s standard and can be seen in the video

[@mehmetalganatilla9196]

hi, are these bar ends are good? I was wondering, should I buy Motogadget's m.view cafe, but they are really expensive, so do you recommend these original triumph bar end mirrors?

[@mancavemoto]

Yep, they are really good. Good vision

[@justind1396]

Hey Tony, I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find the answer to this question. Hoping you can help. I purchased third party bar end mirrors for the Street Twin and I've been having a hell of a time trying to remove the insert inside the bars. Any idea if this is possible? Thanks and love the videos.

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks Jay Dee, Unfortunately don't think the inserts are removable :( I don't have my Street Twin at the moment, but when I get it back I'll check it out for you

[@jfitzgibbons42]

I can't find that clutch lever clamp anywhere online. I put bar ends on, but want to clean up that clamp by getting one without the stem for the stock mirror. Any links?

[@mancavemoto]

[@jfitzgibbons42]

Thanks! Will this also fit the brake lever side (with the brake fluid reservoir)?

[@mancavemoto]

Josh Fitzgibbons only if you find another way to mount the brake fluid reservoir as it mounts directly to the mirror mount. Check out my rizoma BFR video to see what I mean

[@jfitzgibbons42]

Thanks! Sorry for so many questions. Can you just tell me the size of the bolt that came with the bar end mirror kit that you used on the brake lever side? I need to get just that bolt.

[@mancavemoto]

No worries, I'm pretty sure its an M10, but i'll have to go and check

[@highhopes75]

Hi can you give me the part number of the clutch clamp as I need to swap mine as well.thx

[@michaelevans1658]

Would be good if you could put the price up of the accessories your fitting ,other wise enjoying the videos.

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks Michael, I did with a few, but the problem is that prices change frequently and are different in other countries. It just becomes a bit of a minefield.

[@robscherer]

Will these fit a 2019 street scrambler? Great video as usual!

[@mancavemoto]

Yes and thanks!

[@danielrevez]

Just looking for this question! Did you got the bar end mirrors from the Street Twin and they fitted the Street Scrambler easily? Thanks!

[@robscherer]

Daniel Revez hi I ended up getting my mirrors from motogadget. Sorry I couldn’t help.

[@danielrevez]

@@robscherer OK, thanks for your response!

[@samcash123]

Hello, could you please tell me what year of the triumph Daytona the clutch clamp was off please, thank you

[@mancavemoto]

[@kenmlb1860]

Silly question. Do they fit non-triumph motocycles?

[@mancavemoto]

Yes they would, as they clamp to the ouside of the bar I so no reason why not?

[@mancavemoto]

Hello! I ordered mine from my local Triumph dealer

[@stevenfebvre5151]

Hi. Did you get the Daytona clamp for the RHS also? You never said. Also I think Triumph have been fleecing people with the extra bar end cost to help pay for their new visitors centre! 😆 Bad form on their part.

[@mancavemoto]

Hi Steven, no i didn't as the brake fluid reservoir fixes to the mirror mount. Haha maybe you've discovered their secret 😂

[@stevenfebvre5151]

Views from the Man Cave sorry, yeah I just clocked your part 2 vid and the penny dropped ☺️ Thanks for replying so quick. One thing I might mention is are there any unwanted (or wanted) vibes from removing your bar ends. The replacements don't look heavy at all. I fitted a Rhinomoto bar ends to my XSR900 with CRG lanesplitters mirrors, which fold in for a narrower bar when filtering. They're fab but sometimes when going over 140mph they self fold in 😆 but the bar ends are screw-in and they have a good strong weight to them. Perhaps the little bonnie doesn't need 'em?

[@mancavemoto]

Hi Steven, the bar ends on the street twin are just light aluminium caps, not weights. So when you fit the mirrors there is no difference. There is a threaded insert inside the bars which effectively act as bar ends. The ST won't get anywhere near 140 so no worries there 😂

[@vanblanco9284]

Hi. What's the part number for the Daytona clamp? Thanks!

[@patthewoodboy]

a longer bolt would do the job ..few quid tops

[@mancavemoto]

Agreed, but the bars would be a little wider, not that it's much of an issue

[@gerardfiant2733]

j'ai monté ces rétro sur ma Street twin ....vraiment impossible de comprendre pourquoi Triumph a réalisé un système aussi compliqué en particulier du côté gauche ...pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliqué ....."Ridicule "...

[@frankstocker5475]

Is Triumph aware of the carbon footprint of the plastic packaging for a couple of wing mirrors?

[@mancavemoto]

It is a bit over the top, but I guess they are trying to protect the glass element?
