KTM Bar End Mirror Install Issues!!

GLHDuke790 · May 9, 2023

Hello Everyone,

I have a stock 2020 KTM Duke 790 and I bought KTM bar end mirrors (64112940100), but they don’t fit! As you can see, when unscrewing the stock bar end, you’ll see the clamp in the bar end. But when you go to install the bar end mirrors; following the install instructions listed in the manual for the part number from KTM (https://d2akct5dekqm4p.cloudfront.n...loudfront.net/53/media/pdf/dok-pp-bed-64112940000-100-fi-sall-awsg-v1-39008.pdf), there is nothing for the bar end mirror to screw into. Anyone having this issue?? Am I missing a step?

Thanks!

It’s a friction fit. You have to turn it pretty hard to make it snug.

You have the tapered nut on in the wrong direction. Flip it and align with the slots in the expansion collar. Install and snug it up. Hope that helps.

Thanks Sir_Duke! I will try that out. So, when you go to screw it tight, the tapered nut will drive that expansion collar apart and will clamp in the handle bar?

The slots on the collar mesh with the splines of the nut and are held secure while turning the screw. As you tighten the screw it'll draw in that tapered nut causing the collar to spread and wedge in the bar. The way you have it assembled in the photo would try to crush the collar likely breaking the screw or damaging something else.
Cheers.

Roger that! I will give that a shot! Thanks for your help! Do you have these mirrors? How do you like them?

Sir_Duke · May 9, 2023

No, I don't have them. Every time I try to get them their on backorder. Once you try them out maybe you can let us know your thoughts.

I have the mirrors and I they are very good. I ordered them with the motorcycle. So I never tried the stock mirrors. I have them installed with the mirror above the handlebars. Some prefer them below the handlebars.

I love the look of the mirrors below the bars but not sure if I'd like looking down to see behind me. Hope to get a set soon.

I have just fitted some aftermarket ones which I thought were faulty, only realised I was doing it wrong due to the original post and the helpful responses, thanks guys!
