Who says bar end mirrors won't work with handguards?

Little bit of innovation and longer bolts . . . . . anything is possible (probably)
On my GT the little clip on extra screen ha.s made more difference to wind noise than changing mirrors

 

Interesting. What make of mirror (although, with your theory, any bar end mirror would work)

My screen is much higher and does seem effective. The mirrors are very high.

Photos won’t load!!!

 

They're Area 1, from Germany. Much better than the cheap chinese crap most sell (small and blue lens so fucking useless), these have proper clear lens, a decent size and a couple different styles. It's just a case of getting some sort of spacer/collet and washers to go between the hand guard and the mirror mount which grips the guard into place and some longer bolts to go through everything.

Grrrr. I still can’t post photos.
Just had a look at mine and the same principle would work.

 

I use these on my 990 and 690: HDB Hand Guard Mirror - HDB Offroad
The hand guards attach to your bar/top clamp not the bars, so they dont twist. The mirrors flip in / out as needed and actually work really well.

Thanks but they look a bit close to the arm for me.
I’ve found some Wemoto folding mirrors that are cheap enough to try and I can always put them on my 690 as my dodgy eyesight makes looking in the mini underbar ones less usable lately.

You can often get bar end mirrors to work with handguards sometimes not.

If you can't then quick flip mirrors are the dogs

 

Well. That was weird.
I took the mirrors off and popped down the road to try it out.
The wind noise is still there but, really confusingly, the wind on my chest was really noticeable.

I think we can close this post now as it seems irrelevant.

Ride your bike without mirrors to test the wind noise theory before buying alternatives....
