In this video I cover a review of the recently installed Fenrir bar end mirrors ($65 on Amazon, link is below) and CXEPI Brake and Clutch levers ($35 on Amazon, link is below). After installing these mods (install videos below) I took the 2017 Kawasaki Vulcan 650 S on a ride to test the vibrations in the mirrors and handle bars and various speeds and functionality of the levers.
These mods will work on all model years of the Vulcan 650 S (2015 - Present). The mirrors worked perfectly with very minimal vibration at high speeds and are much better than the stock mirrors. Visibility is also very clean and clear with the mirrors, its just quick look down to see what is behind you and you still have clear view of what is ahead of you. The bar end mirrors can also be mounted above the bars but I kept them below for the cleaner look. I may try mounting them above the bars because sometimes the mirrors hit my knees if making full sharp turns at low speeds.
The levers allow for quick rapid shifting of gears and reduce the pull force needed so less strain on the hands, great for people with hand pain. The clutch lever worked perfectly through all gears up and down and there was no issue with the clutch sensor. The front brake lever worked perfectly and had no issues activating the tail light. Overall, I am very happy with these mods and I highly recommend them. Leave some comments below if you have any questions!

i got the same kuryakyn kinetic mini boards in black for my vulcan s cafe, thanks for sharing the details in your other video, they're awesome! couldnt be any happier, thanks
That's awesome! Glad the videos helped. I love the boards too!! I may change my setup to extended reach position so will have to adjust the angles of the boards a little bit. All part of the fun of tinkering with the Vulcan.
I just added the Booster Plug, the same shorty levers in black & red, and the bar end mirrors. It feels like a whole new experience when I ride now and I love it.
That's awesome man, I agree whole new experience so much fun to mod the bike and then ride and feel the difference. My last mod will be new front blinkers and then hopefully I am done with mods!
Whats booster plug do i have usa model 2023
Thx a lot like alwais for your hard work dude, keep going like that!!
Thank you I appreciate that, many more videos to come!
I did the same setup, I'm a bit to big for it I guess, the mirrors hit me in the knees when doing low speed maneuvers. I'm going to use longer bolts and run the bolts through the original bar ends and play around with it to see what I can manage
That's awesome yea they do hit the knees at full turn for me as well..Im going to rotate them so they are above the bars. Good luck on the mod and ride safe!
@@Kamdorian I got some M8x110mm bolts, probably 30mm longer than I needed, but spun the mirrors upwards and installed them with the stock bat end weights and it's all good now. I don't like the look as much as below the handlebars, but function over form for me.
Could you get a longer screw to keep the bar end weights? That way you get better mirrors with no added vibrations? Best of both worlds? All amazing mods, bike look great.
It could be possible yes. However I have no issues with vibration. The weight of these bar end mirrors are close to the weight of the stock mirrors.
You should practice going to the left side of the car in front of you at stops so when a cager comes a crashing in you have an escape route.
Great tip I appreciate it!! Do you mean lane splitting and being right next to the car?
@@Kamdorian No. Lane splitting is illegal in NJ. That would be lane filtering to go the front. I don't trust doing that bc NJ drivers hold grudges and try and hit you. When you come to a stop always set your bike to the left or right of the rear bumper ahead of you and keep an eye out for the vehicle behind you coming in to hot and if so you can easily pull off to get out of the target zone.
@@forrestnome9521 yeaaa lane splitting is illegal and I never do it for that exact reason that cagers hold grudges and go wild road raging. I see what you mean now always good idea to have escape route so staying on left or right of bumper means I can easily pull out if I see a cager coming fast on my rear. Thanks again and ride safe!
@@Kamdorian you are welcome, my friend. Love your always positive content. Keep it alive.
greetings from Russia! great motorcycle!
Greetings from USA! It is a great motorcycle indeed. Thanks for subscribing!!
Great video, greetings from chile .
thank you, I appreciate it!
Is that the Bilt jacket? We have similar taste in bike and gear lol. The mesh breathes great!
Yes it is the bilt! Love the jacket, so breathable and the removable inner layer def keeps warm in colder weather. I got the black jacket, was debating to get the white jacket but figured it would look dirtier over time.
Great job!
Thank you!
Looks clean. Did you see a big impact on the visibility with the new mirror setup? I'm debating.
Improved visibility for sure. With stock mirrors I was seeing the sides of my shoulders and arms. With these bar ends I see more behind me and they vibrate much less than stock. Definitely worth the change.
@@Kamdorian Did you get those caps that close that gap & prevent water from leaking into it?
@@zachrat9083 na not yet. I don't ride in the rain and my bike is stored in my garage so haven't gotten the caps yet. Def will soon to hide the holes though and complete the blacked out look.
@@Kamdorian Please post a video on it because I really want to get these exact mirrors and complete it with that! I’ve seen dozens of people talking about fixing it on Reddit and CZcams.
It’s funny I have a problem with my clutch sensor it’s been replaced 1x we now and it still stops working from time to time. I’m going to have it replace again so we’ll see
Wow that's bad luck haha did they ever tell you what was wrong with the sensor? Were you having difficulty switching gears?
Didn’t you have any visibility problems with right rear mirror? It’s hard for me to use it since the right hand is moving the throttle up and down, and i need to somehow look for the best visibility by moving my body
I didn't have any problems. I have them angled in a way I can see everything behind me. You can also try to flip them to be mounted above the bars and that should improve visibility for sure. Good luck and ride safe!
How're the levers holding up now as it's been a year roughly since this video. I'm thinking of buying them as it really has a nice esthetic look. Thanks
The levers are holding up great no issues at all, so much better than the stock levers. I definitely recommend getting them
Kam my handle bar on my 2015 Vulcan s doesn't have hollow bars do these bar end mirrors go into the screw thingy when you take off the weight ?
Yes there should be a threaded hole inside the bars after you remove the stock bar end weights. Check the 6 minute mark of this video czcams.com/video/MnQjeLdtQIg/video.html it shows the bracket and screwing in. Remove your bar end weights first to check what the inside of the bars looks like first then order these mirrors.
@@Kamdorian thank you Kam your the best .
What’s with the headlamp? That’s not stock where’s it from?
It's an aftermarket led headlight, check the video description I have amazon link for it and also an install video!
What’s on your seat?? That help you out?
It's an airhawk seat cushion, yes it helps reduced the pain and numbness during long rides. I can ride for 1.5 hrs before any numbness starts. With stock seat only I would get numb after 45 min. There are also cheaper versions of it on Amazon.
@@Kamdorian good looking out
Do you have a link for those bolts that fill the holes of where the mirrors were? Thanks again!
Here's the link amzn.to/3PkmBrn
@@Kamdorian thx bro, they’re out of stock though😂
@@SumPixelz that is weird because it's showing in stock for me. Where are you located? Try these they will work too amzn.to/3XjlM3S
@@Kamdorian might be the location, I’m in the Netherlands. But no worries, I’ll figure it out. Got the Fenrir mirrors coming in Friday, can’t wait to put them on, also the arrow exhaust is coming next week. I traded in my Yamaha Tracer 7 for the Vulcan S, no regrets do far!
Are your arms obstructing your view
Slightly at some angles but overall still have good visibility in rear. Also mounting them above the bar gives you even more visibility.
If you turn fully, the mirrors hit the legs ?
Sometimes yes if you fully turn the bars. I will probably change the mirrors to be mounted on top of the bars at some point.
@@Kamdorian It looks cooler when mounted down. But yeah, I suspected that will hit the legs
@@Kamdorian If you're going to make a review video, why wouldn't you show this??? Literally wasted my money
@@neoneo4221 sorry man you right I should have included it in the video. you can always flip the mirrors to be above the bars and then you won't have any issues. Or you could return the mirrors to Amazon. Almost all mirrors that are installed below the bar will hit your knees or the tank at full turn. Good luck and ride safe my friend!
@@Kamdorian thanks for responding. What did you end up doing with them? Did you point them upward? Can you show us a picture of how you have your mirrors on now? Thanjs
