Hey just wondering I've been away from the bike for a few days and I can't get to it sooner than sunday evening. My question is do the grips reach to the end of the bars?

Because I don't have adapters and I fear I'm losing sleep here waiting to install them without cause? :D

Raux

i think those are the same one's i bought. you'll need bar ends. i think it takes 1inch or 5/8 inch adapters. i would wait til the mirrors arrive and then take them and the bike to a shop and get the bar ends that fit both. i didn't wait.. my bar ends dont fit the mirrors. but i like my bar ends more than the mirrors. so i'm gonna probably sell off my set and get some rizoma prototypes

Got the bar ends, fitted the mirrors, a few "what the..." -moments later I was good to go! The bar ends were sort of crappy but they do the job. Only I didn't have any black tape with me at the moment and I had to use that silvery thing that holds everything (dunno the english term but we Finns call it "Jesustape" cause it holds everything and fixes everything), I used it as a bushing to lock the mirrors in the bar ends but it sort of squeezed out while tightening  [bang] [clap] so I have to fix that later.

Here's pics of the bike now.
