Hey everybody,
I would like to invert the mirrors just like in this picture: Barendmirrorscanbemountedaboveorbelow - HostingPics.net - Hébergement d'images gratuit
Do you guys know how to do it step by step ?

Thank you, ride safe

Remove, switch sides and re-install upside down. Should be as simple as that. There is a 4mm allen head bolt about 1.3" deep in the handlebars that set the expander.

Thanks for your answer.

There is only one screw in each mirror? Not more small pieces ?

Because I'm not very good with that and I'm afraid to not be able to fix them back...

 

[Scooter M'Gee]

The allen bolt threads into the internal expander which consists of a few pieces but the assembly should stay together by just loosening the bolt and pulling the assembly out of the bar. Mind you, I have never done this myself on the SR but I have installed bar end mirrors on other scoots.

The flat bars that came on my Street Rod have notches in them, allowing the mirrors to be installed one way, only. I learned this when I replaced the stock bars with stock bars from the Street I had previously. Instead of grinding notches in the bars, I bought new, "universal" mirrors, which I like better than the stock mirrors, anyway.

Well, there ya go.

I know that it has been 3 years since the last post in this thread, but I am reusing it anyway. I was going to change sides for the mirrors, I want them below the bars, but the right hand side mirror couldn´t come off. The allenkey couldn´t grip the screw (if you know that I mean), had no problem with the one on the left side. Anyone have any suggestions what I should do?

Any picture?

Any picture?

Tried to take pictures but the screw is too deep so its too dark, bad pictures. So, no pictures

 

[Veltors]

I found it on ebay and a.express maybe can found in local shop too. I want to try too.

If anybody is trying to remove the factory bar end mirrors on a Street Rod, be advised that the Harley service manual says to loosen the bolt no more than a MAXIMUM of 3 turns. Any more than that and I suspect you will lose the expanding mechanism inside the handlebar somehow.

Hi all, a bit late to the party but for anyone that is maybe still interested the mirrors on the XG750-A can be inverted by using a square spanner, ie similar to a ratchet without a socket, to remove the mirrors themselves. Just be careful there's a small spring and a little locking pin between the mirror and the insert piece. Then put the mirrors across the to opposite bar end inserts. Unfortunately the inserts themselves are different lengths so its not as simple as just removing with an allen key and swapping. Unfortunately mine are turned up a fair amount still and not all the way down because then I can't even see the mirrors through my arms.

That is sure a quick fix.

It is a square screw

Hey, so I went back to the dealership and got the mirrors put back like normal as I cant see properly with them inverted when riding and it actually made it more difficult with passing cars coz the mirrors would normally go over the car mirrors.

I asked them about their spanner coz I couldnt find 1 that fitted, turns out the made their by grinding on a socket extension I suspect you would otherwise need to pay a fortune to buy direct from Harley. As for the screw I can try to take tomorrow morning but basically take a look down the end of the bar, ie the mirror and you will see the square head at the bottom, the Allen key is further down. So basically if u are going to use the Allen key to completely remove the mirror and mount then you would be putting it through the middle of the square nut as well

Hi guys,
For anyone that isn't confident in making their own tool to undo those square bolts on the ends of the street rod bars, I used an 8mm sump plug socket, made for vw's, volvos and other european cars. I picked it up from a specialty auto parts store. 9mm would be a perfect size but 8mm works and is more commonplace. Easy to undo, swap the mirror stems to the opposite bar mounts, and tighten back up in the underhung position. As noted in previous comments though, look out for a spring, locking pin and plastic washer when removing and installing the mirror stems.
