hi - great video, thanks for sharing. Took some of the learnings before installing the bar end mirrors and indicators to the same handlebar. Question I still have: what spacer did you use on the right hand side making sure, that the bar end mirror is a few mm apart from the throttle (not to tighten to it, so throttle can be twisted freely while bar end mirror remains in place) and the light is tightened exactly same position as the 2-LEDs facing the front and the single one to the back. I am back and forth on this and struggling to find the perfect match. I am using also installing the Motogadget turn signals and bar end mirror.
I didnt use a spacer, but later i went to a better handlebar that did not have space without gurther customization to fit the bar end mirrors and bar end indicators, so for over the last two years ive done away with the mirrors completely. Which honestly i love. Never going back to mirrors on this bike unless im getting ticketed. If u want it to fit without touching the throttle grip, u may need to dhave off a little bit of the throttle side handle/grip. Or find something that can act as a spacer as ur question implied
@@convertableburt thanks, will certainly consider to amend the grip by 1/2mm or so… I went for the cruiser ‘mirrors’ and love them to the moon and back.
I'm waiting on delivery of my 2022 Bobber sometime at the beginning of May.. so I'm gonna be going thru all the same stuff you are. Already purchased a new seat and Progressive 444 shocks. I'm digging the bar end indicators, though. I think I may have to acquire them.. :) Thanks for the vids, man!
Hey great looking bike!!...I am getting ready to install the same. Question for you; how are the mirrors attached? is it clamping down on largest black spacer as shown at (0:15). Did a dry fit and it will not hold, wondering if screwing the indicator lights down into the handlebars will expanded the diameter of the spacer to allow it to clamped down securely.
I just used pressure of the left grip and the bar end light. Has to be tight or wind will move it back. On the throttle side i did same but made throttle sticker than stock and intended control. I personally a month or two later just took my mirrors off and i honestly love it anf dont know if ill ever put mirrors back on it, cleans it up even more. But if u want to keep the mirror, i suggest trimming or sanding down the throttle grip by a few centimeters and using the brass o ring that came with those mirrors to clamp down directly onto the metal bar. U would probably want to do same on other side too then. More work but it would be even and match that much more. Again i did not do this, but it was an option until i fell in love with no mirrors after a week of riding. That combined with the already minimalist front end, nothing feels as open or real of a ride to me. Question to u though, are u keeping original handlebar or v line trask like i am on this video. If ur using stock bar the brass clips should go right around the stock ones and they have enough length where u likely wouldn't need to shave grips at all. The trask ones only have so much length of clamp-able circumference. Hope this helps lmk with more info
@@convertableburt Plan on keeping the original handlebars. So originally your mirrors were clamping onto the spacer and pressure from the lights screwing in held it in placed? if not secured enough then the wind was moving it? The throttle side would be an issue. I currently have the heated grip and dont know if i can shaved the grips at all since there maybe wires within the rubber.
@@gon44sec well if ur keeping original bars then as long as the heated grips dont impact the mirrors, there should be enough length to just move the grips in a bit on each side so there is enough space for the brass ring and clamp for mirror
Thought there would be a load resistor or voltage divider involved. Glad it doesn't. Did you have any trouble threading the wires thru the hole? Good job and good video overall.
Nice bike brother...me an a friend is getting ready to start a project on a 1977 Harley Davidson Shovelhead that his brothe found in a barn has all the parts just needs put back together make into a rider/show bike have it on my TH-cam channel ..thanks for sharing your bike stay safe
that is looking really clean!
I've got a pair of these, thanks for the video
Uve got two indian bobbers?? Jealous
Yeah that looks really cool mate I like it a lot

Thanks

@@convertableburt Thanks for the replies back man!!
@@gon44sec yessir. Good luck!
1) so the motoblaze thread fits the indian oem bar thread?
2) any way to drill the bar while fitted (so without removing it?)
Thought there would be a load resistor or voltage divider involved. Glad it doesn't. Did you have any trouble threading the wires thru the hole? Good job and good video overall.
None for feeding wires through, wished i would've cleaned and repainted drilled hole but im getting new handlebar aoon anyways
@@convertableburt drag or mini ape? I expect a new video on the subject! BTW this vid was my first experience on your channel. Cheers.
@@westerncivilization well i appreciate feedback and yes when the new bars come in there will be a video on it

i wouod flip those mirrors down
