Im looking into bar end too. Im glad you put them down instead of the typical bull way. The bull way looks like you'll be smashing mirrors in lane splitting traffic. Now the only problem is the visibility and the vibrations. Also you answered a problem with it not hitting the fuel tank when full turn.
Just ordered the bar ends this morning from RhinoMoto. The owner texted me a few minutes later asking if I wanted to pick them up the same day because he lives a few minutes away from me. Had no idea! Nice surprise. Now I'm just waiting on the mirrors. I've run this same kind of mirror setup before but not with parts this nice.
Hey, great vid, love what you did with the mirrors. I went with the Bull Horns look, which I prefer, but it's all about personal taste. Keep up the good work.
Sweet! I just ordered some bar ends too. They should be coming tomorrow. Love the way they look mounted below but I think I'll try mounting them above. Easier to see I'd imagine. And yeah, definitely go for that exhaust next!
man i didnt know if i would like the mirrors being below the bars, but im thinking this may be the way i want to go now. im still using the stock mirrors atm and am not in love with them. the pov video gives a good idea of what they are like for sure. Thank you sir.
You can also use them above the handle bars by just switching the sides. Tried that and I don't really like it because the bike is wider or the mirrors are above your hands which is horrible to ride like that. But it makes the Bike look more aggressive and smaller and if you like the view you could give it a try.
both fits the z900 the difference is that Gen 1 is for mirror that clamps on to the bar so you cant separate the pieces and for example the mirrors that Andrew has is for Gen 2 because you need to separate the bar end in order to put it the mirror attachment. I would suggest buy the Gen2 and they will work for any kind of mirror.
Did you have any issues getting the factory bar ends off? They seem to have applied copious amounts of loctite to my 2022. I know I could turn it harder, but I've wrenched on vehicles enough for long enough to know that I'm getting into "damage something" levels of force. Thanks for the vid!
I believe gen 2 because the piece comes apart to fit most bar end mirrors. They should have a description of both on the website that explains everything exactly I just can’t remember off the top of my head
I have a different bike, but my experience with stock is that at a glance I see arms, and it takes a movement of the head to really check them properly. Perhaps this bike is different.
This is both stylish and useful.
Blessed to have your approval 😮💨

What are the odds!!

Exactly! Ride safe mate.

SC Project exhaust has been in my shopping cart for months now 🤣

are you able to turn them to point from above instead of under?
Hii Andrew, are you still happy with te mirrors? Because I read a bunch of negative revieuws on them. The tighten bolt would break on them. 🤔😅
I like how they look below the bars more than above but don’t your arms get in your field of view?
Not really. Depends on the position I’m riding in but I rather have them under even if I have to move my hand slightly to see.
Any chance they'd scrape on the asphalt on a high lean turn?
what do you think you are? valentino rossi? nahh not physically possible, even for rossi
Hi..nice video..i have a question..the bar end model is m8 bolt Kawasaki mirror mounts gen1 or gen2? Thanks
I’m not sure. I ordered the RinoMoto bar ends and they came with the correct one.

When you have them mounted low like that , do they hit the tank when you turn the handlebar all the way to left or right?
No it just takes some adjusting to get it to fit right

Mine weren’t terrible to get off but I’ve heard others say similar to what you just did. But you’re exactly right don’t force it 😅🤣
Have u bought a spacer for the mirrors to fit in rhinomoto bat ends?
Everything you need I mentioned in the video
Did you get the gen 1 or gen 2 bar ends? There’s two versions for the z900 on the website you provided
I believe gen 2 because the piece comes apart to fit most bar end mirrors. They should have a description of both on the website that explains everything exactly I just can’t remember off the top of my head
Looks cool but I want to “notice” things in my mirrors, not just “look when I want to”
I have a different bike, but my experience with stock is that at a glance I see arms, and it takes a movement of the head to really check them properly. Perhaps this bike is different.
I got these and they vibrate sooo bad. Do yours? if so any fix? Holding your ass accountable since i ordered based of this video lol
Yes, i found a fix
I removed the mirrors 😂

75.00 for ends is expensive!
I would say any motorcycle parts under $100 is cheap 🤣 but that’s just me haha
