End Bar Mirrors For YAMAHA MT-125 MT-07 MT-09 MT-10 XSR700 XSR900 - 2014 to 2024

Bar End Mirrors for Yamaha MT-07 / MT-09 / MT-10 / XSR700 / XSR900

These bar end mirrors are a pair of CNC-machined aluminium mirrors that mount inside the open ends of the handlebars on compatible Yamaha models, replacing the factory stock mirrors with a lower-profile alternative suited to the naked and neo-retro aesthetic of the MT and XSR series. Rather than bolting to the handlebar clamps in the conventional position, they sit at the tips of the bars and attach via an expanding internal bolt mechanism that locks the stem inside the bar tube. No drilling, no modification to the handlebar, and no permanent changes to the bike are required.

The mounting position shifts the rear view from above the handlebar clamps to the ends of the bars, which reduces the overall mirror width of the bike and gives the handlebars a cleaner, unobstructed profile. On the MT series and XSR series, where the bars are the dominant visual element of the cockpit, this difference in mounting position is immediately visible and is the primary reason bar end mirrors are among the most popular modifications riders fit to these Yamaha models.

Why MT and XSR Riders Fit Bar End Mirrors

The MT-07, MT-09, and MT-10 are naked streetfighters where the visual quality of the cockpit matters to owners who invest time and money in their bikes. The factory mirrors are functional, but their mounting position above the bar clamps adds visual bulk above the handlebar line that works against the low, stripped-back aesthetic the MT series is built around. Fitting bar end mirrors clears the space above the bars and allows the headlight assembly and instrument cluster to read as the focal point of the front end rather than competing with the mirror stalks.

The XSR700 and XSR900 use a different visual language — neo-retro cafe racer styling — but arrive at the same conclusion: bar end mirrors are period-correct for the aesthetic these bikes are evoking, and they suit the lines of the XSR's rounded tank and tucked-in bodywork better than the upright stock mirrors do. Beyond appearance, the reduced mirror width makes the bike easier to filter through traffic at slow speeds, and riders who commute on MT and XSR models routinely note this as a meaningful practical benefit alongside the visual improvement.

Construction and Visibility

These mirrors are constructed from CNC-machined aluminium with a black anodised finish. At this price point, aluminium construction means the mirror housing and stem hold their shape under vibration rather than flexing as budget plastic units can, and the finish resists corrosion over multiple riding seasons without the cost premium of top-tier billet mirror brands. The glass is convex to provide a wider field of view than flat glass, which compensates for the lower mirror position relative to the stock mounting point above the clamps.

Vibration is the main functional concern with bar end mirrors, and the quality of the fit inside the bar tube determines how much vibration reaches the glass. A correctly tensioned internal bolt fit produces a rigid connection between the stem and the bar that minimises image blur at highway speeds. The expanding mechanism in these mirrors is designed to grip the internal bore of the handlebar firmly without requiring excessive tightening, which protects the handlebar tube while providing the grip needed for a stable, usable mount.

Fitment and Installation — MT / XSR Models 2014–2024

These mirrors fit all listed Yamaha models that use standard 22mm internal diameter handlebars: the MT-125, MT-07, MT-09, and MT-10 from 2014 onward, and the XSR700 and XSR900 from 2016 onward. Before fitting, the factory bar end weights or bar end plugs must be removed from both sides. Some MT and XSR variants are delivered with factory-installed bar end weights held in place by a through bolt, and these are removed with a standard hex key before the mirror stem can be inserted.

Installation requires inserting the mirror stem into the open bar end, threading the internal bolt until the expanding mechanism engages with the inside of the bar tube, and tightening to the specified torque. Installation takes approximately 15 minutes per side and requires no modification to the handlebar itself. The mirrors are sold as a pair covering the left and right bar ends, and the viewing angle is adjustable on the stem to suit the rider's seated position and preferred mirror coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these replace the stock mirrors completely, or do they fit alongside them?

These bar end mirrors are a complete replacement for the factory stock mirrors, not a supplement to them. The stock mirrors are removed from their mounts at the handlebar clamps before fitting, and the bar end mirrors become the sole mirrors on the bike, providing full rear visibility from the bar end position. Removing the stock mirrors leaves the clamp-mount points visible on the handlebar; some riders fit blanking plugs to these mounts for a cleaner finish, and these are available separately.

Will they vibrate at highway speeds?

Some vibration at bar ends is present on all motorcycles and is more noticeable on parallel-twin engines such as the MT-07 and XSR700 than on other configurations. At highway cruise speeds, well-fitted bar end mirrors on these models produce a stable enough image for normal road use. The critical factor is that the internal bolt is tightened correctly — a loose fit allows the mirror to move on the stem, which blurs the image and can cause the mirror to work loose over time. If vibration remains a concern after correct installation, fitting bar end weights inside the bar tube beyond the mirror mount can help reduce the transmission of engine vibration to the mirror stem.

Are both mirrors identical, or is there a left and right?

Bar end mirrors of this design are symmetric: both mirrors in the pair are the same part, adjustable on the stem to suit either side. The stem rotation allows the mirror housing to be positioned for correct rear visibility whether fitted on the left or right bar end. The set includes two mirrors and all hardware required to mount both sides.
