You just saved my ass, I bought the mirrors for my vitpilen and was convinced I couldn’t fit them but this video helps put perspective into how. Thank you 🙏🏻
I tried this mod, but ended up installing larger mirrors in same spot as factory mirrors instead. Aperantly, the large chunk of metal screwed on at the end helps reduce vibrations in the handlebar. When I removed it for the bar end mirrors, I found my hands getting numb more. Putting that metal piece back on the handle bar made vibration go down. Thanks for all the videos, very useful over all!
New subscriber here. I love your video format. I feel like I relate so much to you as newbie rider. Your respect for these machines is very apparent and I hope to learn along side you. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for subbing Oscar. I can see why people love these machines. Only took me 30 years to find out the same thing. I am still "gun shy" of letting this little bike loose as to me it seems powerful and capable of getting me in trouble....stay tuned...
Inspiring review!! Motivated me to likewise make my first mod on my new Vitpilen 401. The HSQV bar end mirrors are well worth the price! I can see clearly ( behind me ) now. Would it be possible to share on how to adjust the `Ball joint, for flexible adjustment ...` ? Been a relative newbie to art of motorcycle self maintenance - I felt like this was not clearly explained in the manuactuar's installation manual
Hi Grant! Huge thanks for the donation! I went through several mirrors and ultimately ended back with the oem mirrors but added 20 degrees of additional bend to them. I am not certain what you mean by ball joint adjustment but I would be happy to help if you clarified the request a bit. Thanks for tuning in!
Do they have a broad view? Look ok, now you have a reason to go for a ride, 😊 not that I ever needed a reason, pleasant and safe riding, thanks for the video, all the best to yous and your loved ones
I just got these same mirrors. Just tried once to adjust them, but i had no idea they would need some kind of gluing to lock the position. But i think they are awesome
Did you use blue or red loctite on the threads? My first impression they do tend to flop unless I tighten them almost to the point of thread stripping!
“You make laugh me”. And I saw printed on a USB cable package: “Do not let hurt children play with”. BTW you are Norwegian, Dutch, Welsh and German for ancestry. Keep the videos coming and ride safe!
I figured I was a mix just wasn't 100% sure. Willow and I have been going on practice rides pretty regularly so I should be able to get my endorsement no problem. The online classes I have to take to get it have a lot of stuff I never thought of so that helps too... Got plenty of content coming up so stay tuned.
The screw on one of my mirrors snapped off in the socket when I tried to remove it. It was on the right side, with the master cylinder. I had to get a whole new handle assembly.
@@SeanFillner the Husky ones are Pricey so that is a knock against them. But some of the other ones i saw they wanted you to cut down the throttle grip..or buy their barends..etc etc. I figured. Its Husqvarna so its gonna fit and work with no modification. Buy Once , Cry Once right hahaha
Which version of those mirrors do you have? I checked out the link and there’s 2 different ones to choose from.. The 801-0028 or the 801-0378.. I want the ones you have, I have the 2020 svartpilen as well.

I like these mirrors and up top was the way to go as they look way better that way. Cheers!
Keep watching this playlist. I made several renditions...

I think mine ended up in the landfill....

I can’t wait to see it finished.
I think it will be awhile.
😂😂 I love it! I always try to imagine what it was intended to say. Good stuff 😂
I think the translation might be a bit off LOL

That is rough. Hopefully you got it fixed.
Me and you are both on the same page hahaha. I just ordered the Husqvarna Bar End Mirrors and the stock mirror block off bolts last night hahahaha
I saw the Husky brand ones too but these got good reviews so I ordered them. I may change my mind though, who knows...

@@dantediss1 these one fit pretty good with out too much hassle
7:42 The multitool jajaja!!!
Bron to ride!

Links are always in the description. Thanks for tuning in!
@@SeanFillner I see the links.. Lol but there is 2 selections if you click the link… Lol
Also was the internal diameter of your bar ends 12mm?
Lol, Make you feel good long time.....
Yeah, probably something like that....
Does your throttle not stick when you install the mirror against it like that? Isn’t it flush against the throttle?
Keep watching the series. Thanks for tuning in!
