Bob black round bar end mirrors compatible with BMW M8 threaded handlebar

Real-world setups from our global riders out on the road.

Q1: What type of mirrors are these?

A: These are round bar-end motorcycle mirrors with a short stem and blue anti-glare convex glass, designed to give a low-profile, clean look without sacrificing rear visibility.

Q2: What size are the mirrors?

A: Each mirror uses a 4-inch round convex mirror glass, providing a wide rear view in a compact form.

Q3: Are these mirrors street legal?

A: Yes. The mirrors use E-mark approved convex glass, suitable for street use in regions where E-mark certification is required.

Q4: What is the benefit of the blue tinted glass?

A: The blue anti-glare tint helps reduce glare from headlights and sunlight while maintaining clear rearward visibility. The tint is moderate and not overly dark.

Q5: Can the mirrors be mounted upright or downward?

A: Yes. The mirrors can be mounted in two orientations:

• Standard upright position
• Flipped-down position

Final clearance depends on handlebar width, stem angle, and motorcycle geometry.

Q6: What motorcycles are these mirrors compatible with?

A: These mirrors are designed to work with multiple handlebar and bar-end configurations, depending on the selected fitment option.
They have been successfully installed by customers on a wide range of motorcycles, including:

• Indian Scout / Scout Bobber (threaded bar ends)
• Triumph models (air-cooled and water-cooled, with correct bolt selection)
• Yamaha models such as XSR900
• BMW, Moto Guzzi, Aprilia, and others
• Selected sport bikes, road bikes, and e-bikes

Fitment depends on choosing the correct option from the selector.

Q7: How do I choose the correct fitment option?

A: Choose the fitment option based on your handlebar or bar-end type, not just the motorcycle brand. Available options include:

• Clamp-on type (7/8" and 1" handlebars)
• Threadless hollow bars (7/8"–1-1/4", including 7/8", 1", and 1-1/4")
• OEM threaded bar ends (5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, or 16 mm depending on model)
• Model-specific options (Indian Scout Bobber, Harley-Davidson, Triumph, BMW, Yamaha, Royal Enfield, Moto Guzzi, Aprilia)

If you are unsure which option to select, check your handlebar end type or contact the seller before ordering.

Q8: Are these mirrors specifically made for the Indian Scout Bobber?

A: Yes. A dedicated threaded bar-end option is available for the Indian Scout Bobber, which many riders report fits directly out of the box.

Q9: Will these mirrors clear the fuel tank when turning?

A: Many riders report good tank clearance, especially compared to stock mirrors.
However, full-lock clearance depends on mounting orientation. In the flipped-down position, some setups may contact the tank at full lock.

Q10: Do these mirrors vibrate?

A: Customer feedback varies. Many riders report little to no vibration, while others notice vibration at higher RPMs depending on the motorcycle, engine characteristics, and installation.

Q11: What materials are used?

A:

• Mirror stem & plate: CNC-machined aluminum with black painted or chrome finish
• Glass: Blue-tinted convex glass

The construction is designed for durability and stable adjustment.

Q12: Are the mirrors adjustable?

A: Yes. The mirrors are adjustable at the stem joint, allowing fine positioning for different riding styles and handlebar setups.

Q13: Are these sold as a pair?

A: Yes. The package includes one left-hand and one right-hand mirror.

Q14: Is installation difficult?

A: No. Most riders report easy installation using basic hand tools. Installation time varies depending on the selected fitment and handlebar type.

Q15: Which specific motorcycles have customers successfully installed these on?

A: Based on verified customer feedback, successful installations include:

• Indian Scout / Scout Bobber (2018–2020)
• Triumph Thruxton / Bonneville / Street Triple
• Yamaha XSR900
• Triumph T100
• E-bikes with compatible mounting points

These examples reflect real customer use and do not limit compatibility.
