- Royal Enfield Meteor 350 - Buddy's Bar End Mirror Odyssey Continues
As planned, last week I managed to make it over to the dealership to get the bar end mirrors fitted properly, now that they had the required fitting kit. Of course that didn't go to plan and the mirrors were still not fitted as per the official instructions.
Join me as I point out the dealer's mistake and go about correcting it myself ( because that's what we have dealers for, to end up doing the job ourselves, right ? ).
Anyway, at least this is a video with a happy end ( stop it @quinnpeaksbiker , stop it now ! ).

Gary, Just a suggestion next time you do any work near the handle bars or instrumentation with various tools, especially Allen key wrenches: Before you start, please place a double or triple layer of bath towel over the gas tank area to protect the paint from accidental chipping in case a tool slips out or you hand, etc........ An unnecessary chip will be enuf to make you cry. Don's ask me how I know....... It can happen all too easily and quickly......
Installation instructions reviewed by project manager Ruby, who seems to be as confused as we all are as to how the shop looked at the final assembly and thought “that looks right”…. Good for you for taking matters into your own hands and finally getting the job done properly…. Treats for all! Best Buddy has looked yet…
Wonderful job, finally the mirrors are done, although it looked like someone added sausages to the list of tools needed :)
I hear your frustration in your voice. Looks great. I have bar ends on my bonney, still not sold on them though they do look cool.😎
WHAT A SURPRISE Garry! Gismo and I were sitting on the couch watching your video and then we were totally surprised about the sausages sceneries. The sticker really shows Gismo and Oliver. We fell honored and flattered. Gismo is now your biggest fan. Cheers and kisses to Ruby 🤩. Oliver & Gismo
Even Ruby knew enough to look at the instructions. 😆 I do all my own tuning and mods as you likely know. My first mod was bar end mirrors. Cheers , Lance & Leo 😎
Good job ER. Bar end mirrors look much better. Cheers.
Nice video ER! Shows that we need to check the work being done by the dealers, even if they are certified. Hope they will do a good job with the vales at least. Cheers NWR
Thanks for the video, really. When I saw this I realized that just because I ordered an original RE part, i.e. bar end mirrors, it would be stupid to think that I could just install them. Ok….frustrated. Went to eBay, ordered the mounting brackets. I still cannot believe that that RE sells the mirrors separately from the mounting. What do they think we want to do with them? Display them in a cabinet? Anyway, now, based on your video I know how to install them. Mount side in. Good. Have a great day.
good job done Gary . Buddy looks in lovely condition still . the mirrors are spot on ,and lovely Ruby helped daddy too. best wishes and Linda sends love to you both .
They fitted them mirrors in the same way I can sing... all the right notes, just in the wrong order! 😀
Evening ER what nutters that can’t fix a pair of mirrors still you have done a good job and a good video that I missed 😳😃👍
Maybe you should give sausages to the dealer… 😇😂
Wow, what a project for some simple mirrors! I can't even believe how inept these guys were.
Nice that you are able to do the job.
Hi Garry, das ist natürlich ärgerlich aber kommt leider immer wieder vor. Das ist in Deutschland nicht anders.
Regarding dealers and instructions - I don't know what experience you've had over there but here in the UK it's very clear that many dealers don't bother to read the requirements for the first 300 mile service - or, if they do, they just ignore them. Specifically, they do not do the mandatory (and very necessary!) tappet adjustment on the 350 Classic. I'm hoping that with RE themselves taking over the import business they might get a grip on the dealer network, but I'm not holding my breath...
All is now chi in the Eco garage 🙌🏻🙂
Just goes to show, you cannot trust so called professionals to do simple job. Makes you think how good are they at doing more complexed jobs. You know what I say, if you do it yourself there only one person to blame 👍👍👍
Good to see you've sorted those pesky mirrors at last. Yes if you want a job done properly... 😂
