question about aftermarket handlebars and triumph oem bar end mirrors

i have question. i have norman hyde m bars and nap bar ends presently, and while it works OK, it is by no means a rock solid setup. i have thought about purchasing the new thruxton 1" bars and going with the oem bar ends since they apparently screw into the threaded ends rather than just expanding (i hope this is the case) anyway, my question is this, if i decided to go with a norman hyde ace bar with the threaded ends would the oem screw into these? for those that have ace bars, how did it work with bar ends?

I have the Thruxton 1" bars and Im using some bar end mirrors that I just threaded into the bars no problem. Picked up the size that would work at ACE Hardware, only a couple of bucks. I bought the NH M bars with the threads and had to go to ACE hardware again to find some others that fit the M bars. Its a 1.0 thread (how tight the thread is) on both the Thruxton and M bars. The Thruxton size is an M6 (diameter) and the M bars are an M5 if youre looking at the Metric nuts and bolts bin. PM me if you have any other questions.


I just use a little blue lock tite
