CRG Bar end mirrors for 2017 CB1100ex

[Senna02_imp]

Hi everyone. I plan to install CRG Bar end mirrors on my 2017 CBex.
My question is for riders who have the same side mirrors. Will I need an adapter like Rhino adapter for proper installation? It would be a big help to me if anyone knows what's needed to install CRG bar end mirrors correctly. Pls. send a link if you know where to get the correct adapter if needed. Appreciate the help. Thanks everyone!

I apologize for the duplicate post. I mistakenly posted the 1st one in the " Seat Time" instead of "Modifications". After realizing it I reposted it to the correct place. Anyway, thanks Ferret for deleting the other one.
Man, I'm not too crazy about the lollipop mirrors even though they work great.
I like the Cafe look of the CRG hindsight in the CB.

Thanks Ferret.

The CRGs are good mirrors. My son just put a set on his MT- 10. Expensive though. His required special adapters.

As I recall, there is an insert in the CB's handlebar that needs to be removed in order to fit any bar ends in. You need to remove the bar end weight and put a 6mm bolt approx. 2 1/2" x 3 with a fender washer and insert into the bar end insert after removing the bar end weight. Next take a light hammer rubber or nylon and hit against the washer which is up against the head of the bolt 6mm which is threaded into the insert. After a few whacks it will come out. It is pictured in the photo next to the bar end weight. Next, because there is nothing to provide resistance to the expanding nut on CRG or any other bar end it is necessary to put into a vise (loosely) without obstructing any of the expansion of the expanding nut and to screw down the expander bolt just enough in order to get the whole thing large enough to get started in the handlebar and then hit it home with the same light hammer. The idea is to give enough tension on the expander as to screw it down more without it turning in the handlebar. Its much harder to describe than to show in actuality. I really like bar ends have used them on numerous bikes and CRG's are top of the line but there are lots of cheaper alternatives. They may take a little getting used to, but you can clearly see behind you and what is coming on your side. And besides, they don't create a bunch turbulence as evidenced by the "bunny ears".

I was looking at some YouTube videos this morning and found this one on an easy and very inexpensive way to get bar-end mirrors on the CB1100.
I am pretty sure he's on the Forum, but don't know who he is. Smart guy anyway.
