How To Remove Handle Bar Ends
I want to fit bar end mirrors to my TRX.Can anyone out there tell me how to remove the bar ends and wether the clip ons are hollow.I dont want to remove the clipons unless I have to .
If some one can tell me, it will save me some time.
I,m sick of looking at my elbows in the fairing mirrors every time I go for a ride.Rearward vision is important to me as the coppers are red hot where I live on the south coast of N.S.W .

Bar End Mirrors
Just to let you know that I now have the Bar End Mirrors on and that they make a world of difference as I can actually see what is going on behind me.Thankfully vibration is not a problem even when labouring the engine in too high a gear.All round a good investment and they don,t look too bad either.

Re: Bar End Mirrors
I would like to get rid of my mirrors on top, but don't want to make the REX wider then it already is. With Bar End mirrors I don't succeed in my plans. My vision in the mirrors is pretty good right now (must be my figure ), but I don't want to loose sight due to removing the original mirrors (ánd due to regulation, I have to have them ).kenmore wrote:Just to let you know that I now have the Bar End Mirrors on and that they make a world of difference as I can actually see what is going on behind me.Thankfully vibration is not a problem even when labouring the engine in too high a gear.All round a good investment and they don,t look too bad either.
