5 minutes and a thumbs up from west coast Canada. Subscribed a long time ago!
Thats a blast from the past, I bought one of the 'square' versions to fit my Ariel Arrow back in 64. I seem to remember they were made of alloy not stainless steel though., Also owned a pair of Stadium googles, a skid lid type helmet and white scarf..part of the uniform...Greetings from España
Ha, me too. Must be getting old. That said, my Arrow was a tired version by the time I had it in the seventies.
It's just three minutes and I'm already watching.Thanks mate
Best rear view mirror vid Ive seen. Don’t need them but covert them. Never had mirror envy before!
Hello Stuart. Tod from Oregon. I just installed my Stadium bar end mirrors. I always check your videos before I delve into it. Thank you again.
Love the content mate cheers from Australia
I used to have a Stadium helmet in early 80's
Me too, black and gold metallic
I absolutely agree with you on the extraordinary quality of Halcyon bar end mirrors. My motorcycle only just fits through the side passage gates at the side of my house and my Halcyons are no stranger to being clonked, carrying their scratches with pride. The glass has never been damaged despite this regular pummeling and the black powder coating has not flaked or broken. The stocks are incredibly solid and vibration free and the position of bar ends gives a panoramic rear view - I cannot sing their praises too highly.
Great stuff Stu, as always. Really appreciate the focus on the Interceptor 650.
Good morning Stuart, always a pleasure to watch your videos. Currently still working abroad but looking forward to getting home and getting out on my Rnine T Racer.
Made in England 🇬🇧👍
Cheers Stuart, I'll be looking at these for my Interceptor when I buy one.
I've watched a number of your videos on the Interceptor and yours along with a few others and some magazine test reports convinced me to buy one. Thanks for the well done reviews.
Good morning Stuart, you’re videos are draining my valet. Cheers for the end entertaining video, it’s always a pleasure watching. Carry on the good work... cold regards from Berlin
Thanks Uncle Stu! I just fitted the halcyons to my brand new 2022 Int650 mark ii (first one in Minnesota!) and they are GORGEOUS! Thanks so much for all you do and demystifying motorcycle care and ownership!
Good review, nice to see they are still available.
I had several Stadium helmets during the seventies. They did a Griffin lookalike that was cheaper than the Griffin original.
Finally bar end mirrors on the 650! Love it! Looks great! I have the same mirrors on my RE 500 classic and it looks great. Bought it from Hitchcock as well. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Norway!
Thanks Stuart, this is gold, I ordered the 820 style from Hitchcock's last week, also ordering the grip wrap from Trip Machine and the polished micro blade from motone this week....thanks for how it's all going to look in one shot! Really changes the look of the bike, looks awesome. I'm thinking of removing the handlebar brace for a bit more of a classic look. Again another great video.
Ordered them two days ago. Thanks Stuart!
Thanks Stuart for the mirror review. Good stuff. On the subject of subscribers, it constantly mystifies me that there are so many "bubblegum" sites of little or no substance yet have very high subscriber numbers , while channels such as yours always provide valuable ,honest content and struggle to grow. I would expect your site to have 3 or 4 times the current subscribers. Keep up the good work. Cheers, 🏍👍🇨🇦
An interesting introduction and a bit of a history lesson, not looking for mirrors myself however enjoyed watching your video all the same. Thank you for sharing.
They look very high quality and suit your Interceptor a lot. Thanks!
Highlight of this video for me is the refreshing background music which goes well with a ‘modern classic’ accessory being reviewed !
Stuart - they look just great don't they? So much better than the standard ones and I would imagine they also give a much improved field of vision. Thanks so much for bringing these to our attention. Just hope Hitchcock's haven't sold out already! Love your channel - great vids - keep up the good work. Got my Interceptor fifteen months ago and love it to bits - brings a smile to my face every time I ride it and a great stablemate to my Nissan 370Z Nismo - another great bit of kit too!
Thanks from Wisconsin Stuart! Just ordered a pair for my Interceptor. Love the channel!
Because of your videos i learned how to take care of interceptor correctly and i will in few months when i get one :) thank you loved your content.
Already a subscriber in the US, mate! Love those mirrors. Had a square set on an old Honda CB-1 that I had for a bit.
Reminded me of looking through some boxes a while ago and I pulled out a pair of my original Stadium bar end mirrors which I bought when I was hooning around on my 400/4 with my girlfriend on the back. Subscribed almost a year ago and enjoy looking forward to your videos.
Brilliant video as always Stuart and those are a mighty fine mirror indeed 😃👍🏻
Lovely mirrors uncle Stu , and very clever fitting system.
Great intro music Stu....impressed.
Well done Stuart, good to see some quality merchandise
Stu, thanks for highlighting these. I have a set of mirrors from another English supplier for my RE 650 and had to cut, file, and fit the stepped metal part by hand. That would have been OK but the mirror glass has a blue tint that I have not seen before. At first I thought it was a protective plastic film and tried picking it off only to realize that was not the case after I had put a very small chip in the mirror glass. They work alright but I see no advantage to the blue finish. I will go on over to Hitchcocks and give these a look over.
Hello Stuart. New subscriber and owner of a 2022 Int650. I enjoy your videos and use the information you provide for maintenance as well accessories. These Bar End Mirrors will be a wonderful addition to the bike-I’m tired of looking at my shoulders.
Loved it, thanks Uncle Stu. You are the best 😎
Very nice! I have put the original square version on mine both are fantastic!!
Thanks for another good video. I am a fan of the rectangular blind spot mirrors which fit to most mirrors.
Nice informative video sir. These mirrors are a work of art 👍
I dig that Rhodes right at the start! Not the usual canned music.
Cheers for that , they look fantastic, so they are net on the list , great informative video as usual 👌🏼
Nice one Stuart, on a recent episode of American Pickers they found about a dozen pairs of Stadium new old stock mirrors still boxed and in mint condition, took me back to the 70s when you would see Stadium products for sale in most motorcycle showrooms...
As a new Interceptor owner I am playing catch up on all your videos - I have learned so much including these gorgeous mirrors. I was uninspired by the typical aftermarket mirrors - they just don't suit the bike to your point. As of today (3/22) Hitchcock does not have them in stock BUT Halcyon does and they also have the interceptor fitting kit. Ordered and can't wait!
Now I have to tell you - I watch your videos in the middle of the night. To not disturb my spouse I turn off the sound and turn on closed captioning - CC adds another level of entertainment as there is no 'Yorkshire' option so a bike is a 'back' and a side case is a 'sad case and so on.
Really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Looking forward to the next installment!
Great informative video keep it up stu👍
Excellent look those bar ends...cheers.
I fitted bar end mirrors to the bike last year, just after taking it off the road for the winter so I've not had a chance to test them. Hopefully I like them. Those mirrors are perfect for the Interceptor, wish I'd spotted those. I got around the problem by carefully removing the half moon step. I bought a UK made set of bar ends that come with a longer bolt that screw's into the threaded hole. They're really solid but as yet untested.
Take care Stuart.
Waiting for pay day, then getting a set of 820s for my t100, love the look of these mirrors
youtube is wrong, we are subscribers. Good work Stu.
I agree the mirrors are really good,had a pair of the square type on my CB 1100x honda, kept the mirrors for when i get a RE.
Hi Stu. Yes those mirrors look great. I have the RE Touring mirrors which are a lot better than the originals but i like these!
The perfect mirror for classic chrome laden bikes. I love to have this in Continental GT "Mr. Clean".
Thanks stuart for your time and effort on keeping me sane during this difficult time, would the mirrors fit on the triumph Bonneville range, brought a 900 scrambler last year and come to your channel for all the latest bling. Cheers again for your efforts 😊👍
Stupendous review
I'm a subscriber. Have been for a long time. Always enjoy your videos...keep well and thank you for today's video and look forward to seeing mirrors on a Bullet/Classic.
Bye Stuart 🙂
Just put these on my interceptor and LOVE them.
👍🏻 up before watching 👊🏻
Stadium open face Helmet in Yellow in 1973 with smoke black visor also Stadium. Stadium were fantastic 👌🏻
Ordered a pair for my 2021 SV 650. Can't wait to see how they make the bike look. I'm aiming for that "70's cafe and 90's sport bike look", and I kept the original bulb blinkers, the crom ring of the headlight will pair nicely with the mirrors, and I also have a yellow bulb inside it. But the main reason I ordered them was that I wanted them the moment I saw them, and tried to find justifications on how they would fit on my 2021 SV 😁
Good morning sir, have been thinking of a set of bar end mirrors for my Interceptor, but due to having a narrow area in which to park (and using a cover), I was put off. That is, until now. I didn’t realise you could simply fold up out of the way without needing to slacken off the bolts, and then have the faff of setting up before riding. Uncle Stu to the rescue again. Thank you.
best mirrors on the market I bought my first pair in 1982!
@@stuartfillingham I had a square one (or something similar) on a BSA A50 Royal Star and Norton model 18 in the early 80's too.
Awesome mirrors
I just swapped the stock bars on my Interceptor for the balck Himalayan adventure bars and added these mirrors. They are incredibly nice!👍
2:18 Monkey king in LH Mirror🐒😜
RE had brought fantastic product! classic machine in value for money proposition.
Nice review Stuart 👍
Amazing content
Hi Stuart never been a fan of bar ends but the quality is there no doubt: ) cheers
@@johnmartin7158 Well that's a pretty good reason I reckon in fact I would probably have to say as far as visibility go's they probably show a better view behind . For me it's an aesthetic thing really and makes the bike wider Thanks for getting back to me . : )
They look nice, high quality. My brother had the square type on his interstate and I had them on a.... cough Z400 cough. Twas the 70s.!
Pretty expensive, but the close ups show where the money goes. Very nicely finished., a quality item.
Very nice! 👌🏼
Just noticed, your Mini has changed colour!!
I remember Stadium, I had a Stadium Achilles crash helmet in the 80s, my first full face, most rattly visor ever!!
Another great review Stuart, you need good mirrors these days, to keep an eye out for the Police issuing fines for sitting on park benches 🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the good work Stuart.
Cheers from SoCal my brotha
Thanks Uncle Stu. Much awaited video. Waiting for the Classic 500 to get the same in near future. These mirrors are going to find their way on both my bikes as well...How about a special discount for Uncle Stu s subscribers??
Great video Stuart.. There is one major disadvantage with these folding mirrors which hopefully you and your watchers won't experience. In 1971 I managed to hit a car dynamo in the road in the dark on my BSA A7SS fitted with an offside mirror as described and my Fiancee on the pillion. We came off! The bike hit the road on the offside wrapping the mirror round my right hand and breaking my R/H pinky which to this day ain't straight. Love my Interceptor 650 and will stick with stock mirrors if only for the fact they cost c£25 from India. (Yes I have had to replace one)! Keep safe.
Nice one, Stu - First thing I wondered was "would they look good the Classic 500" and right there at the end- you read my mind - looking forward to a review. Now personally I don't like the bar end style mirrors - as I do frequently move between lanes if the traffic is stopped so I kind of like to keep my width profile as narrow as possible - but that is just an opinion suited to my circumstances. In the meantime I am browsing Hitchcock's because I do want some black ones as I feel they match the look of the Pegasus edition better then chrome mirrors. As usual, enjoyable content and keep it coming :)
Interceptor 650 is a pure riding pleasure, love being on it - thank you Stu, very helpful indeed.
My interceptor have the following mods:
1. LED Head Light, Tail Light and Indicators
2. 120/150 Dunlop Sports Max tyres
3. Verex full exhaust
4. RE Bar End Mirrors
5. Continental GT Tank
6.Couple of others as well
The dealer highly recommend Norman Hyde ‘M’ Bar - any feedback on the suggestion as i’m 186 cms - thank you!
Well. your link still works! Just picked up a pair from Hitchcocks... I suppose I'll be sending more Yankee dollars over to Blighty in the future, as I was compelled to peruse the inventory. Curse you, Mr. Fillingham...
Another great start to my day with your interesting and knowledgeable submission. Can I ask you to feature the piece of kit that sits inboard of your nearside mirror, I suspect it's a satnav? Thanks again.
Stadium had a helmet factory in my town, Caerphilly, back in the good old days. My mate worked there in the late 1970's and my first three or four helmets were Stadium. I still have one in the attic!
Sadly, like much of British manufacturing industry, the site where the helmets were made is now a housing estate.
I had a pair of their bar end mirrors on my 400/4
Now there was a bike! I had a yellow one in the early 80s! I went on holiday to Cornwall on a CB250RSA and came back on a 400/4. Great bike. I really wish I'd kept it.
@@stevegarrod4764 About 15 years ago I sold two for £400 :( Worst mistake ever. Ah the 250RS was an ace bike. Should have been made into a scrambler.
Great video as always Stuart. I’ve got so much enjoyment and learnt so much from your videos and would just like to say a massive thank you for all your hard work. It’s very much appreciated. Especially cool tune for this vid too btw.. Many thanks 👍
Very nice
Amazing
Nice!
❤️❤️❤️ interceptor is bae❤️❤️❤️
I loved that mature riderscrack.(see OLD)Ye,s I had their helmet and goggles.
an orange stadium project 9 1977 that was mine 16 years old on my FS1E king of the road i felt .
Never liked bar end mirrors and as my ravishing red RE Interceptor came with black mirrors and now I’ve fitted black bars these are not for me but quality video as always Stu, like ✅, subscribed long time ago ✅. Thanks.
Damn it I am 2 hours late 🥲. Great video mate
Another great video. Could do with some like that for my Sinnis bomber. Standard mirrors are useless. Take care and stay safe.
Great video Stuart. I love the rectangular mirrors.
Just an observation: The link for the round mirrors leads to the Halcyon brand mirrors, but the link for rectangular mirrors leads to the Wassell brand mirrors. Both are British made though.
Thanks for the info!
Solid story-telling about a shared love interest...subscribed. 👍 Here's to many more!
SF: Halcyon, make me some mirrors! (Stadium come baaaaack!) 🤞
Halcyon: Noooo.........(for two looooong years) 😒
Subscriber: Hey mate, Hitchcocks has them. 😉
SF: 👀 MINE! 😍 (Instantly buys them wondering why he didn't already know this...and coolly posts vid of course) 😎
Love it - cheers!
Watching all ur videos...☮️ Mumbai India ❤️🙏
Enjoying hearing about the history...what grips do you have in this video and what do you like about them?
Always good value, these videos of yours. And entertaining. Liked what those mirrors made for the Interceptor. The original ones are not very classy, on an otherwise great looking bike. And yes, have subscribed.
As usual, an excellent review. Unfortunately, those mirrors are not available in Argentina.
Wow those looks so good, and would love to have a pare on my W650!😍
Wonder if they will fit, or do they have different fitting kits?
They are awesome looking well made mirrors, Stuart but I wish they were available in black Crome. I changed my stock bars on the interceptor to a black Renthal bar . The stock bar by the way is a heavy piece , I’d said the new bar is half the weight and looks better on the ravishing red interceptor with more parts being black then yours. I put on a pair of bar end mirrors from tech bike parts but the jury is still out on them they are ok but about of inch smaller then the stock ones. Good video as usual cool music on this one 👍🏻 cheers mate .
Just found out Halcyon do make a black crome version Model # 8305 Black Chrome so maybe they find there way on my bike.
Great video.
What windshield do you have?
Love from India.
Hi Stu, how about a vid on your riding gear for classic bikes, I subscribed long ago, and I hit the like button at the start of the vids as know it is good stuff
I got my ravishing red Interceptor last fall and only got 500 miles before O'Man Winter put it in the garage. ( it's 12 below zero as I type this ).... Besides knee pads, touring seat and crash bars I'm holding off any " upgrades " until I get some serious miles under the saddle. ( I removed the silly front and rear government mandated side reflectors... )
These bar ends look great and as smooth as the Interceptor is they shouldn't give a blurry rear view or " lighted " figure eights at night. I have a set on my 66' Triton and they work well. I had a pair on my 77' Xs650 Yamaha... the original Japanese hardware store paint shaker.... they did NOT work well.
Well stuart what is the best product to put on fork gaitors to keep them from drying out and to make them last as long as they can
Nice mirrors Stew , I could not help spotting your Bulova Luna pilot watch ?
Thank you Stuart, I think a pair of them are in my future.
(very strange, the more complex trapezium shaped mirror is way cheaper @ £49.20).
Hitchcocks have told me the round ones are UK made, the trapezium shape is an import. Hope I didn’t miss that in Stuart’s video.
@@bsimpson6204 I purchased the trapezium ones from Hitchcocks, and mine are actually manufactured by Wassell in the UK. Then again, when I ordered mine both mirror styles were the same price, so perhaps Hitchcocks have changed suppliers since then.
