Hi guys. Just wondering if the bar end mirrors such as CRG arrow will require new bar ends as well and if so, will 1299 bar ends (and hence mirrors) work just fine on the V4? It’s just difficult trying to find V4 specific bar end mirrors. Thanks.

I was able to put a left CRG lane splitter on without any issues on a V4S. I don't live in the city so I didn't bother with trying to put one on the right side.

No new bar ends required for the left one. Not sure about if the 1299 stuff works or not.

No worries. Thanks for the reply tyr. I’m going to have to have 2 for riding here is Aus, so I’ll probably have to look at bar ends to fit a right-side mirror.

Aliexpress has a whole bunch of cheap universal bar end mirrors on their site, that are worth having a look at. Not much risk to spend $20 on a couple of different sets to see what you like.

Hey, do you mind posting some pics of your install?

Thinking about CRG Arrows and it doesnt look like there are bar ends out yet for the v4 that will allow them to fit.

I’m getting the arrows as well. The V4 apparently accepts expanding shaft-type bar ends, not the screw type (please correct me if I’m wrong). So almost any bar end that will fit a CRG (most that accept mirrors) should work, as long as it’s not screw type.

I second this. Cheap way to try different styles.

I purchased a set of mirrors off AliExpress and the quality of the metal is very low (obviously) but the mirror glass itself is clear (untested on bike, so vibration damping is still unanswered). Having said that, if you want good quality for your expensive baby and don’t mind spending the dosh, then go ahead and just buy genuine CRG once you know which style you want. The reviews are almost all positive.

Unscrew the bar end @ yellow arrow, fit mirror and put bar end back. Or were you wondering about looks?

I don’t suppose you could do this on the throttle side as well with the stock bar end?

Yeah, the looks. Thanks though!

Mind posting a zoomed out shot from the front and side with those? Do you need the 7/8's adapter or 1" ?

Here's one from the side, I'll try and get one from the front sooner than later.

Didn't need any adapters.

I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041CC3YE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
