Bar end mirrors
I'm thinking about using some bar end mirrors but I am confused a bit.
I have 1" OD bars with what looks like a 3/4" ID but all I see online are barend mirrors that say they will fit into 7/8 bars. Should most of them fit into the 3/4" then expand or do you guys think it will be too large to begin with?

7/8 bars are for most bikes but harley.. they might expand a lot but will never fit tight like they are supposed to.. im sure you can find a set made for a harley with 1"bars.. maybe look for a set made for a buell. some expensive custom racing bars are 1" for mx/superbike

To suit internal handlebar sizes from 12mm - 22mm (7/16" - 7/8")
They're up in Ontario and shipped my signals out very quickly. No problems whatsoever. I haven't installed them yet so I can't give you an assessment of that but I don't anticipate any problems with them fitting the internal diameter of whatever bars I end up with. I believe the mirrors would work fine with your bars.

I can't stand making trips into ValMart. It's like watching evolution right infront of your eyes and I'm not sure where in the bunch I fit in. Hopefully the deeper end of the gene pool.
I ended up buying the ones I had posted earlier. Fingers crossed.

if they are slightly too fat to fit inside the bars you could always shave them a little bit.
or judging by the pictures it looks like the piece that goes into your bars is removable so you could always make your own "plug"
there is always 1 inch od mirrors
