Stark bar end mirrors

Monday, 04 March 2024

I installed these mirrors on a 2010 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic. I was looking for something smaller than the stock mirrors, but larger than typical bar end mirrors. These fit the bill perfectly; I can finally see safely behind me, plus they are black so the overall look is better.

The short stalks and the mirrors themselves are made from a heavy gauge metal and seem very sturdy. The inserts for fastening the mirrors to the handlebars are also sturdier and better designed than typical cheap bar-end mirror fasteners (I bought the ones for aftermarket 22mm handlebars, but they also make a set with the correct fasteners for the stock Moto Guzzi handlebars). The stalks can swivel in and out, and the mirrors can swivel 360 degrees, so you can position them any way you choose. Overall a very well-designed product that is well made of quality materials.

I ordered the mirrors directly from this website, not from eBay, and I paid for the DHL shipping, so I received them in 2 business days - from Taiwan to the east coast USA! Very fast shipping. The packaging was phenomenal; multiple layers of bubble wrap with small items in separate plastic bags, and the whole package was tied up with a red ribbon. Marie even included a nice thank-you note (and well-wishes in Chinese) with the items.

Communication with KiWAV has been fast and easy - I initially contacted them through eBay but then was able to follow up by email and always received a reply the following day.

It's true that these mirrors cost more than the cheapest ones you can find on eBay or Amazon but they are less money than OEM replacements and are actually a better design, in my opinion. Well worth the money to get a quality product from a very professional company.
