I ordered a pair of TEC bar-end mirrors for my Royal Enfield 650cc Continental GT. They arrived amazingly quickly. I was less than impressed with the plastic sleeves provided to fill the gap between the alleged 30mm clamp hole and the 22mm clip on bar. I ended up turning a pair of Al sleeves with 22mm ID and 30mm OD (I should not have trusted the 30mm stated hole size, 31mm would have been better but it did work). I milled a 4mm gap in each ring to allow the sleeve to clamp onto the bars.
Ordered these for my street scrambler! Can’t wait to give them a try
Nice little exhaust preview at the end.
Thanks for that .
An order will be coming in the New Year. Mighty
I'll be checking those bar end mirrors for my T100. Nice video! Thanks George!
Love mine, had to hack saw the black bar end to sit flush
Brilliant video I have just bought Royal Enfield bar end mirrors and have not got the adapter for the bar end would you now where I can purchase those adapters that you used to fit mirrors on the Interceptor kind regards John Sweet
I just finished filing my set down by hand (pain in the ass) so that I can get them mounted up this evening. I sure wished you offered some nice milled versions instead because I'd gladly pay lol
While demonstrating mirror fitment and talking about the pitfalls of throttle sticking issues why not fit the throttle side and demonstrate instead of confusing the issue with the clutch side? Just a thought to assist viewers with limited engineering resources.
thank you so much for the video, i have been waiting for this for my GT 650.
Were you able to fit the mirrors? For me my mechanic says I need to take out the bar end rod n insert the the rod which we get along with bar end mirrors.. I'm not planning to take out the rod which is inside the handle bar.
Roshan Rane you don’t need to take out the rod and don’t listen to the mechanic, just take out the rod from the mirror and slide it into the bar end rod. It works perfectly
I did the same thing asking mechanic to install it but they said the same thing to me
How do you get the bar ends off? When turning the key it just turns and turns.. never loosening...???
Eli you just have to hold the ring really tight
The bar end caps don't just unscrew on my 2019 Continental GT. The allen key just spins around and around on both sides but it won't detach from the handlebar weights.
Hi
Not had that problem, but sounds like nut turning in the insert, try correct size drive bit in a reversible drill to spin it whilst pulling on the cap.
@@TECBikeParts
Thank you for the reply and suggestion. I may have to try that.
I saw a video by another Continental GT owner here in the States who was having the exact same problem and he tapped the bar end weights out with a hammer and screwdriver. I wonder if the 650 Twins that Royal Enfield is sending to America have different hardware inside the handlebars. I don't know why they would do that though but it might explain the difficulties myself and this other fellow making his video are having.

I had to do the same thing as Berlin Biker. I used a mallet and a screwdriver to hammer the bar ends out. I also bought some new handlebar end caps to replace the originals because they get pretty scratched up in the process.
@@RavitShrivastav
No problem! I used these: www.amazon.com/dp/B016MFA51U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-JKKDbQGQNRRZ You can just take the end caps from them and use them on the factory bar weights.
Here are some pictures of my results: imgur.com/gallery/OJnkcJd
Ordered the mirrors for a RE Classic 350 R, and they arrived in time for me to bring them back home from the UK to Spain.
Beautifully finished and packed!
But is it just me? I cannot get the Allen headed bolts loose to take off the end caps?!
The Allen key supplied is ok, but feels as though the bolts were tightened up so much in the factory? that the hex shape is slightly deformed. Tried with a very good T bar Allen key. Nothing. I will have to try a 5mm hex socket.
great product and even greater price! George does the silver ones come with silver end-clamps??
Great tutorial for those that don’t know 👍🏻
Mods Spotting: Mirrors :P, Removed plastic Mud Guard Extenders, Exhaust wrap and end cans, Removed reflectors, Headlight Brackets, LED Indicators in front, Blacked out rear shocks...
Hi George. Great video.waiting for the video on silencer for interceptor
great stuff George,but when are TEC gonna start making aftermarket parts for the Triumph street triple range because as youve stated triumphs prices are ridiculous,you could make a killing on that range surely?? regards..Bizz
Hi
Yes we will do it eventually, but don't have the time at the moment, what sort of parts would you be interested in ?
Thanks for the informative video. Any tips on how to get a clean cut all around on handlebar grip ends?
Hi George, when clamping up the mirror against the adapter it still seems fairly loose even when the allen key is tight - any tips to stop the mirror bracket metal moving/slipping against the plastic adapter other than just tightening? Thanks Andy
Absolutely. He stopped testing the tightness when he realised it wouldn’t tighten sufficiently and started talking about using Loctite...
Did you ever figure out a decent solution? Mine does the same thing
Malc Ellison Did you figure out a solution? Mine does the same thing.
@@Arsewhisper Sorry mate. I was just watching the video. I don't have any of their products. If I were you, I would contact them and complain. Good luck.
The awful thing about this mirrors is that the mirrors themselves are not convex and therefore being so small you won’t see much of what’s behind you.
Question: Where can you get the little rubber blanks to plug up the holes after taking out the standard mirrors?
Hi
I just use wiring blacking gromets
Thank you! I was looking for this information
Hi I habe ordered these mirrors from your shop. It doesn‘t fit in my Triumph Scrambler EFI from 2015. Any tips for mounting Thema in my bike ?
I like the levers you've fitted to the Interceptor. Are they the same as the ones for the Speed Twin?
The bike fittings are new and unique to the new 650's. these are prototypes and they will be ready sometime in May.
for the Interceptor: use a lot of loctate ? or LOCTITE ? a glue ??? thanks
I see you have installed adjustable leavers on the Interceptor. Have you started taking orders for the same..?
these are prototypes and they will be getting made soon, due in May
These are already out there as RE use standard fittings on the Himalayan and 535 Continental GT.
please advise me how to fit halcyon 820 mirrors on the interceptor 650.
In my gt 650 the weight is rotating along with the screw how can I fix it I want remove it to fix a barend mirror I think the lock is gone
When I try to unscrew the allen bolt on my bar ends it keeps on rotating, how come your INT bar ends are easy to come off?
I just ordered end clamp mirrors .
BUT
FORGOT TO ASK IN NOTES
DO YOU SUPPLY BLACK BLANKS FOR HOLES OF ORIGINAL MIRRORS ?
They do but they won’t fit a Royal Enfield mirror hole
hi, when will these mirrors come to online shop? now it is not avalaible
These don’t work for the Street Twin. You can’t clamp them tight enough to stay in place, even with the spacers.
How do you get the bar ends off? When turning the key it just turns and turns.. never loosening...???
I have 2019 continental gt 650
Hi
Sounds like the bolt is stripped, try putting a screwdriver behind the end cap to put pressure outward whilst unscrewing and that should do the trick
Hello, I’m going to take your advice and cut down your end caps, in the video they triumph ones are just out of shot when you’re explaining. Are they cut (or turned) down to a flat surface on the rear (the bar/inside face)?
The triumph caps are just flat on inside just like thick washers really.
george milburn perfect, cheers 👍
Hi Geeorge, are your round bar end mirrors the same diameter as those on stalks on the Street Twin? I made the mistake of buying some bar end mirrors off of ebay, not only was the finish very poor, but the mirrors themselves were so small as to be nearly useless.
Hi, our clamp on bar ends are 80mm dia, I use these on my thruxton and they have good visibility .
Damn, really bummed out that you don't ship to Canada! I went to the US site link you provided, but none of the RE 650 Int items :( Really wanted the bar-ends for my 650.
same problem here nothing for canada all for uk, france, and australia, when ordering a part from those country have to pay in euro or LS add lot for shipping and when you about to receive parts you got a message hey! you have to pay border taxe! :P, ordered usb from hitchcock cost 40ls and 215$ later was on my bike lol
but you can from ebay order from tec was trying to order a litle thing ask me 233$ for shipping and not include border taxe....
would like to see them downwards angled
Are you considering doing any "stuff" for the Himalayan? (Apologies for the stuff thing)
Yes that is the plan eventually but we are concentrating on the new twins first due to public demand. If you have any stuff in mind let me have your thoughts.
@@georgemilburn6213 I'm sorry but I have no unique ideas. Engine bars ,brush guards,bars and bar risers,mud guard risers,rear luggage rack( the original is not that strong a design) etc etc.
why ?? hard to see , vibrate .. high cost , harder to lane split ..breaks if the bike tips over
None of the above problems on this bike and a £20 mirror would be the least of my worries if the bike fell over !
Lefty loosy, righty loosy; wtf!🙃
