bar-end mirror fitting

[jerry atric]

Does anyone have a method of fitting a bar-end mirror to the throttle side of handlebars with internal controls, please?

[Patrick Hughes]

I tried and decided it was not possible without redesigning the handlebar and throttle mechanism.

Other options are Albert or Bumm headlight mirrors that replaces the headlight bolt(s) as used most on older BMWs .

In a pinch look to bicycle mirrors.

At the moment, the bike has an Amal twist grip.  I have an unobtrusive bicycle bar-end mirror (convex) which has really surprised me at how good it is. I only have one eye so life-saver looks are compromised. I'm not sure that the headlight mirrors will give such a good view? Handlebar mirrors on stalks look incongruous on pre-war bikes IMO,...

If it is an Amal twist grip. Not Guzzi, then bar end mirrors should fit fine.  Doesn’t Steve At Bevel Heaven sell them ?

It has a bar-end mirror fitted now  but I want to fit the correct throttle and somehow rig up a similar mirror.

There is a handle bar clamp style fixture with metric threads you can slide over the bars and fit a mirror on either side.

Go to dime city web site in Florida and do a search for the clamp type mirror clamp. Lots of choices

Keep in mind the standard bar diameter is 1” or possibly 24mm. If 24mm a normal 1’ clamp will probably need shimming. Certainly, simpler than redesigning the bar end mechanics to provide a stationary end to clamp the mirror on. Also, if you have a Sport that will complicate things further by having less open bar to mount to.

These are high quality bar-ends, if the throttle assembly can shift 10mm or so inboard. However, they're for 7/8" ( a shade under 22mm) bars. There may be enough meat to enlarge the mounting hole.

That's the problem. He wants to return to the internal throttle assembly. It's fixed at the end of the bar. 
The CRG mirrors BTW are the best. I prefer the "Lane Splitter" version which has a double jointed folding feature. In a more classic look the real Stadium's are the best.

that is way too much money for any kind of mirror ,,,,, do you want form over function ,,,,,,,, safety first ,,,,, these machines aren't in a museum on display so until then just buy the clamp on type
