no they wont renthals are smaller internal diameter
7/8" diameter is the size of standard bars
you could easily mod them to fit renthals
tho as its only the part that goes in the bars thats to big . :cheers:

Yes I do - well I did, and so does grog.

I took mine off.  The extra width made rear vision BRILLIANT but lane filtering was problematic - same height as car mirrors...

I have renthal bars.... I managed to find some suitable cheapie bar ends for those (ebay or aliexpress or somewhere) and used those in combination with the mirrors.

Yes but the rubber insert needs a bit of fettling. I  just trimmed it down with a knife to make it smaller in diameter and it works a treat.
