rylz Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi guys. This is my first post to this site, I just joined! I want to get bar end mirrors for my FZ-07. More exact, these mirrors: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/crg-arrow-bar-end-mirror I was just wondering what else I would need to install these mirrors, maybe an adapter of some sort? I was also wondering if you anyone has these mirrors and could tell me what they think of them on this bike. Thank you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator sorkyah Posted May 20, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2015 Rhino threaded barend sliders/mounts for crg mirrors would make the install easy. Ive just ordered a set for my own crg arrow mirrors. ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I just went to that web site and checked out the Q & A and in most cases people needed the adapter but that's not saying you definitely will for yours. One guy said he had to cut off part of his grips to make it work but do you want to do that? Everyone that did get the adapter said it is the easiest solution and were happy with them.

wingnutted Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I've had the CRG Arrow / Rhinomoto bar ends for a few months and really like them. They make an FZ specific model that threads into the stock handlebar. A bit pricey at $70 for the pair, but worth it IMO. I have the flat ones, I preferred the look over the round. It's just a different shape on the plastic cap that screws on to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member so1102 Posted May 21, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 21, 2015 You should get these -- Rhinomoto threaded bar ends, specifically for CRG mirrors. (The inside of the stock handlebars are threaded) I have them (and I use CRG hindsight lanesplitters -- 3" round mirrors). Work like a charm.

Do you NEED the threaded bar ends in your link or are they just preference over stock? Looking at getting mirrors but prices are already ridiculous for the mirrors, let alone another 70$ for bar ends.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fz07fanboy Posted May 23, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 23, 2015 If you have a cyclegear close by they have speedmetal barend mirrors that will just clamp right over the top of your stock bar ends and secure very well. They are reversible as well if you want them sticking out past the barend or staying closer in. You won't need any other accessories. http://www.cyclegear.com/SPEEDMETAL-Reversible-Bar-End-Mirror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigo Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Looking at getting mirrors but prices are already ridiculous for the mirrors, let alone another 70$ for bar ends..I agree, the prices for a lot of those mirrors are outrageous. I can't justify that kind of coin for a friggin mirror, especially CRG or Rizoma parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator sorkyah Posted May 24, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2015 The crg mirrors are quite well made. Expensive but work quite well. They have a nice convex in the glass that allows a very wide field of vision compared to stock ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverfox Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 They are expensive but they are absolutely rock solid, stay in perfect adjustment even with repeated wheel stands they stay where you put them. Also the clarity and distortion free glass is very high quality. I got the rounded ends because I wanted to be able to use the widest position possible. Even then I had to take and grind the plastic bar ends just a bit. Turned out however that in the middle position they give you a great view of anything behind you. In hindsight I did not need to grind the ends. http://i1373.photobucket.com/albums/ag384/riverfox3/Motorcycles/3b02ccda-f3dc-4a78-a3ac-3174053329a7_zps777e3221.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member pgeldz Posted May 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have the CRG Arrows, and yes, they are ridiculously expensive, but they rock solid, don't vibrate at all (even with an Akra Ti w/0 baffle), and give better rear view than stock. Well worth the money IMHO. As for the bar ends, I have different bars, but i you have t stock bars, those Rhinomoto threaded bars ends should do the trick quite nicely.

Here's a thought instead of buying the bar end inserts for the stock bars you could instead spend that money on something like a colored Pro Taper bar setup for the same price or less and not need the bar inserts. Whatever color your bike is you could get that color of bars as they have like six different colors to pick from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you NEED the threaded bar ends in your link or are they just preference over stock? Looking at getting mirrors but prices are already ridiculous for the mirrors, let alone another 70$ for bar ends.. The stock ends are an m16 threaded bar end weight. The threaded version of rhe rhinomoto mounts allow for ease of change and not too much woory wise when it comes to a sticky throttle. I ran into the issue only because i got a little torque happy with my set. @rylz welcome to the forum, cant believe i missed that little tidbit ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by.

squidsquiddly Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I want to chime in here and recommend rhinomoto as a company. I called them at 3:00 pm today and asked them to ship out the bar end adaptor since the CRG's are coming tomorrow via Amazon Prime! :0 they were able to get it shipped out. Hopefully I will see the bar ends tomorrow. They are located in California so I'm hopeful of not tomorrow then I will get them Monday. I'll make a review thread with the CRG arrow mirrors and rhinomoto Bar ends. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttlau Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi guys, I just got my 16 fz-07 , I got the crg mirror and the CRG lanesplitter mirror and the adapter from revzilla as well. Just like everyone, have a difficult time installing the adapter as well. However I think I found out the best soln. which is move the throttle Grip inward. I moved both grip inward just so I have more room to lane split. If anyone have question about the crg, feel free to ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran into the issue only because i got a little torque happy with my set. From that picture it looks like the stock bar ends could be machined (via lathe) down to allow for the mounting-width profile of the CRG mirror clamp '15 FZ-09 Cadmium Yellow '15 White Fz-07 - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
