Kuryakyn Phantom Bar End Mirror Gloss Black

Kuryakyn Phantom Bar End Mirror Gloss Black (Part # 1959)

If you are looking to clean up your handlebars and ditch those ugly factory stalks, upgrading to the Kuryakyn Phantom Bar End Mirror Gloss Black is one of the smartest cosmetic updates you can make. Kuryakyn didn't just design another basic round mirror; they went with an aggressive, sharp, angular look that gives your bike an instant custom appearance. These drop right into the open ends of your bars, giving your cockpit a completely minimalist, low-profile look while actually improving your rear view.The engineering behind the Kuryakyn Phantom Bar End Mirror Gloss Black is top-tier. The mirror heads and stems are constructed from premium forged aluminum, making them incredibly strong and highly resistant to highway vibration. They use a machined stainless steel ball combined with a smooth nylon socket inside the arm mechanism, allowing you to easily adjust the positioning on the fly. Once you place it exactly where you want it, the ball stud locks down tight so the mirror won't shift or fold when you are twisting the throttle at high speeds.(Please Note: This premium item is sold as a matching pair, including both the left and right mirror assemblies inside the box).

Features and Benefits

Expanded Rearview Field of Vision

Even though it has a sleek, compact profile on your handlebar end, the mirror utilizes high-grade convex glass. This slightly curved lens expands your field of view, making it much easier to spot blind spots and monitor fast-moving traffic behind you.

Premium Forged Aluminum Body

Unlike cheap plastic or thin stamped steel aftermarket mirrors that shake violently at highway speeds, this setup is forged from solid aluminum. It feels robust, handles the elements beautifully, and features a deep, mirror-smooth gloss black finish that matches perfectly with blacked-out controls.

Smooth Adjustability with True Staying Power

The combination of a machined stainless steel ball and an internal nylon socket provides smooth, predictable adjustments when setting your angle. The internal tension holds rock-solid, meaning you won’t have to keep fixing your mirrors after hitting bumps or riding fast.

Universal Profile Dimensioning

The mirror heads are perfectly proportioned for modern sport, cruiser, and naked street bikes, measuring 2.75 inches tall by 4.75 inches wide. This design offers plenty of functional glass surface without looking overly bulky on your grips.

Vehicle Fitment and Installation Notes

The Kuryakyn Phantom Bar End Mirror Gloss Black features a highly versatile universal multi-fit design, though there are a few strict setup details you need to check before buying:Handlebar Sizing: Fits standard 7/8-inch and 1-inch handlebars that have completely hollow/open bar ends.Required Internal Clearance: Your bars must have an open internal depth of at least 2.75 inches and an inner diameter hole opening of 5/8-inch to accept the expanding wedge mounting anchors.Grip Compatibility: Works perfectly with most standard OEM grips and Kuryakyn aftermarket grips. Note that installation usually requires cutting out or drilling a clean 5/8-inch hole through the outer rubber end cap of your current grips to access the bare handlebar metal.Fitment Restrictions: This setup is not compatible with heated grips, air-reservoir handlebars, grip-end weights/heavy caps, or Kuryakyn chrome throttle bosses that screw directly onto the end of the grip. It also will not fit the throttle side of motorcycles utilizing electronic "fly-by-wire" throttles or the Indian Scout Bobber factory bars.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this price for a single mirror or does it come as a pair?

The Kuryakyn Phantom Bar End Mirror Gloss Black (Part # 1959) is sold as a complete set of two. You will receive both the left and right hand sides inside the factory box, along with the standard expansion mounting hardware for both 7/8" and 1" bars.

Will these bolt directly up to my factory handlebars?

As long as your handlebars are 7/8" or 1" and have completely hollow, open ends, yes. If your bike has factory bar-end weights screwed into a welded internal nut (like many modern sportbikes), you will need to remove those internal weights first or modify the bars to allow the 2.75-inch deep mounting wedge to slip inside.

Can I install these mirrors facing downward under the grips?

Yes. Depending on your bike's fuel tank clearance and hand controls, you can mount the stems pointing upward for standard visibility or flip them downward underneath your grips for a completely hidden, ultra-aggressive cafe racer or custom bobber profile. Just check your steering clearances side-to-side before riding.
