Anyone put bar end mirrors on their exciting 500. Was looking into it. To change the look a bit. But the way some of them mount into the bars is puzzling me. Trying to figure out which ones I should order or what mounts I should look for. Thoughts?

Any brand/kind of bar end that expands to fit/lock into the inside of a 7-8th inch bar should work? :-*

thanks, i picked some up off amazon and installed them last night. the actual expandable part i didnt end up using as the bar ends for the xciting have a threaded hole built into the bars and the bolt threaded right into it, i had to add a couple washers on the throttle side though so the bar end mirror mount wouldnt rub on the grip on the throttle, it wasnt allowing it to spring back when let go. simple solution though. they are awesome. love the look over the antlers (oem mirrors) looks more streetfighter lol. and i can see behind me way better. my elbows and shoulders arent in the field of view anymore. the ones i got are slightly convex mirrors so i see quite a bit more and more behind me as well. i will get a pic asap. really like these and would recomend them on the xciting :)

I have used them on several bikes, and 100% agree w/ everything you found.
They are simply put... better than stalk mirrors. It just takes a few days to get used to looking in a new place.
