Ridgeback Bar End Mirrors – Modern Styling, Billet Alloy Construction The Ridgebacks are our premium evolution of the Throwbacks — developed specifically for modern, performance-focused motorcycles that demand a more refined finish. Machined from billet aluminium with a CNC-cut mirror shell and 316 corrosion-proof fasteners, the Ridgebacks are built to look and feel right at home on higher-end machines. Where the Throwbacks suit everything from scramblers to daily nakeds, the Ridgebacks lean more towards modern streetfighters, neo-retro performance bikes, and aggressive naked builds. Think MT and XSR 900, Street and Speed Triple, GSX-S and Katana, Ducati Streetfighter, BMW R9T, Indian FTR, Kawasaki Z900 etc. The fox-eye lens shape is slightly more compact than the Throwbacks, which gives a little extra space for your hands and allows for easier underslung fitment. The result is a tighter, sharper silhouette that complements modern tank and tail lines without looking bulky. The blue anti-glare lens provides a crisp, distortion-free field of view with 69cm² of surface area, reducing harsh headlight reflection at night while maintaining clarity during the day. A larger side-mounted ball joint allows for four mounting orientations — above or below the bars, inward or outward — and is engineered to require deliberate adjustment force. Once positioned, it stays planted. The heavier billet mount combined with the reinforced stem improves stability at speed and reduces high-frequency vibration. These are not designed for old school builds - they're made for premium modern machines.

Kawasaki: For models that use a tapered bar-end from factory (Z650RS/Z800/Z900/Z900RS/Z1000 and Ninja 400/500/650/ZX4R/ZX6R etc), we include a replacement bar-end cap that will fit over the top of the ends of the factory bars, and that the mirror can bolt straight onto (otherwise you'll end up with multiple bar end pieces stacked on top of each other, like this). While the Ridgebacks are not E-marked, they conform to ADR and EU surface area requirements and are legal for use in Australia, USA, Canada, New Zealand and similar markets. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific setup, send us an email with details and photos of your current bar ends and we’ll guide you through it.
