Standard bars have a threaded inset for bar end attachment..Rizoma OEM upgrade bars do not.
  Handlebar mirror  mounts are a left and right hand thread affair (M10 x 1.25)

MT-10 has the same brakes. The master cylinders for those are a bit more common (and a hell of a lot cheaper). For the clutch I would suggest a Thunderace unit. Quite compact.
I was going to change mine as I have a pair of XJR1300 MC's kicking about, but they're a bit 90's looking though.  ::)

Thanks for replying.
I've got Rizoma bar-end mirrors on the my other bike so will look to get these most likely.

You'll have real problems trying to find the integral reservoirs, I've only seen them as OEM. As for bar end mirrors I have Rizoma and they not only look cool they also don't vibrate :). Don't think you have to change the bar ends, but someone on here will tell you. I have Motogadget bar end indicators which again look really cool IMO.

Like I said in your last post, it's where to stop.

Hi .. so despite not even having picked my bike up yet - I'm already thinking of a couple of changes.
[1] Get rid of the brake & clutch remote reservoirs
[2] Get some better looking mirrors

I've read the Gen2 bike has the integral reservoirs.
I've had a quick look around and can't spot any - is this a recommended source for OEM or compatible brake/clutch lever replacements?

For mirrors, I'm used to having bar-ends .. any recommendations much appreciated.
Rizoma? Do I need adapters?

Thanks.
