Hopefully simple question. I want something like this: https://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorcycle/mirrors/bike-it-handlebar-mount-adaptors but that is designed to mount on the bar end weight rather than the bar itself. Been searching ebay and cannot find anything designed to do this - do they exist?

I bought a pair of those universal ones that replace the bar ends, they didn't fit my bike, (Supplied bolt didn't fit the bike, original bolt didn't fit the mirrors), so I want to make sure I know things will fit before I buy them.

I have these fitted to my divvy, they sort of do what you're after: clicky.

Those are the ones I bought Smile The built in bar end bit wouldn't fit on my bike. I tried wrapping electrical tape around the bar ends to fatten them up enough to clamp the thing on directly, but it tends to move around. Not to mention that one of them snapped while I was tightening it

Mine were also a little loose on the bar end, I used a bit of rubber I think, might have been a strip cut from an old inner-tube or something.

You should speak to the seller about the snapping problem, I've done mine up very tight with no issue, and crashed on them with no issue. Might be a faulty part unless you really cranked on the bolt? They're only a cheap aluminium part in the end.
