Moto Guzzi V7 850 Stone with KiWAV bar-end mirrors installed

The short answer

If you removed the bar-end weight on your Moto Guzzi and found a solid, welded piece with a threaded hole instead of a hollow tube — congratulations, nothing is wrong with your bike.

That welded insert is the mounting point. It's an M6 threaded boss that Moto Guzzi welds into the factory handlebar to hold the bar-end weights. Our Moto Guzzi bar-end mirrors are designed to bolt directly into that same M6 thread. No drilling, no expander wedges, no handlebar swap.

First confirm the mounting bolt is not bottoming out before the mirror base is secured—a bolt can feel fully tight while the mirror stays loose. This usually means the bolt is longer than the available threaded depth.

Remove the original handlebar end weights from handlebar grips and see if your handlebar ends are as following:

A. Threaded handlebar
A. Threaded handlebar - KiWAV motors
B. Hollow handlebar
B. Hollow handlebar - KiWAV motors
C. Solid handlebar
C. Solid handlebar - KiWAV motors

How do I know if this aftermarket mirror fits my sportsbike?

How to Pick the Correct Bolt Caps That I Need?

These shiny tiny decorative caps can easily give your bike a clean look by covering Allen head bolts while protecting them from rust.

The short answer

Remove your bar-end weight or cap and look inside the handlebar. What you see decides everything:

  • Threads inside (a bolt hole, or a welded insert with a female thread) → choose bolt-on hardware that matches the thread size (M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, M16 or an OEM-specific bolt).
  • Clean hollow tube → choose expander hardware that matches the tube's inner diameter.
  • Completely solid, no opening → bar-end mirrors can't mount here without modification; consider our handlebar-mount mirrors instead.
