If I get some Tucano Urbano muffs will they fit with bar end mirrors?

I use this type:

But I rotate them downwards for added narrowness.

Mine go over the entire grip, including switch gear. There is a rubber hole that the bar end pushes into to keep in where it is. From the outside, you can access the bar end screw through this rubber hole, but everything else is covered. So no.

Edit: This makes it clearer.

I see, and are they all like that? I get the impression there are several types?

How about heated grips? They work great and you won't have to solve any problems. Thumbs Up

They have various types based on your bike. Some include a hole for mirrors, some with or without holes bar end weights, etc

Have a look here, you can look throgh the various models. https://www.urbanrider.co.uk/bar-muff-selector


Rushed, so needed to edit!

No.

The mirror holes are sleeved and are not suited to the bar ends, more the control ends as per standard.

If you got muffs to fit, you'd find that they'd block the view in mirrors like those. For mirrors fitted lower like you say you have, the muff would be in the eyeline to the mirror. For mirrors fitted like the photo, your arms would be twisting the muffs up, and would likely see less because of it.

If you were willing to live with the mirrors pointing up, you *could* poke holes in the muffs for the mirrors to appear out of. Depending on the attachment mechanism of the mirrors, the hole may not need to be very big - and the neoprene muffs are made of neoprene, they're a bit stretchy. And the mirrors would act as an additional anti-theft mechanism.

But you wouldn't be able to see much out of them, IMO.
