The RCB S5 Alloy Bar End Side Mirror is a premium “café racer” style rearview solution that moves the mirrors from the traditional handlebar position to the ends of the bars. This specific model carries the European E9 Standard certification, ensuring that the mirror surface area and glass quality meet strict international safety regulations for road use.
The S5 Bar End version is the ultimate styling choice for naked bikes and modern classics like the Yamaha MT-15, XSR 155, and Aerox, offering a cleaner “low-profile” look for the motorcycle’s cockpit.
Key Features
-
E9 Certified Wide-Angle Glass: Most bar-end mirrors are too small to be practical. The S5 E9 edition features a larger, safety-certified convex lens that provides a significantly wider field of view, making lane changes safer.
-
Vibration-Dampened Alloy Body: Crafted from high-density aluminum alloy, these mirrors are designed to act as bar-end weights. This extra mass helps dampen handlebar vibrations, resulting in a clearer, “shake-free” image even at high speeds.
-
Anti-Glare High-Definition Lens: The glass is treated with an anti-glare coating to minimize the reflection of harsh sunlight or high-beam headlights from behind, reducing eye strain during night rides.
-
Dual-Mount Versatility: The S5 Bar End mirror can be mounted in two ways: pointing upwards for better visibility or “flipped” downwards for a stealthier, aggressive street-fighter look.
-
Multi-Axis Adjustment: Features a high-tension ball-and-socket joint that allows the rider to pivot the mirror 360 degrees to eliminate blind spots regardless of the handlebar’s sweep or rise.

Why Choose the S5 Bar End Series?
-
Stealthy Aesthetics: By removing the “antlers” (stock mirrors), you create a lower, wider, and more aggressive silhouette. This is particularly popular for MT-15 owners looking for a “Dark Side of Japan” aesthetic.
-
Unmatched Clarity: Because the mirrors are mounted at the furthest point of the handlebars, they are often less affected by the engine vibrations that typically blur mirrors mounted closer to the master cylinder.
-
Durability: The CNC-machined alloy stems are significantly more durable than plastic-housed mirrors, resisting impact and weathering from long-term UV exposure.
Installation Note
The RCB S5 Bar End mirrors come with an expansion sleeve bolt system. To install, simply insert the sleeve into the hollow end of your handlebar (or clip-ons) and tighten the bolt; the sleeve will expand and lock the mirror firmly in place. If you are using closed-end grips, you will need to trim the ends of the grips or replace them with “open-ended” grips to allow for installation.
