Bold "cut-outs" for strength and lightweight! A relaxed custom with aluminum billet bar end mirrors.

Customizing a motorcycle is interesting because you can change its impression without having to replace large parts. In particular, the area around the handlebars, which catches your eye both when you're riding and when it's parked, is a point that makes you want to tweak it a bit. The bar-end mirror "AERONAUT," incorporating a round hole design reminiscent of classic racing cars, has landed in Japan.

Bar end mirrors with a bold round hole design.

The "AERONAUT" from MOTONE CUSTOMS is a bar-end mirror machined from A6061 aluminum. The first thing that catches the eye is the bold "round hole" design applied to the body. Reminiscent of vintage racing car steering wheels, this design doesn't just make the mirror appear smaller; the cutout itself serves as a unique accent. The finish is a matte black anodizing. Since this part is mounted at the end of the handlebar, it avoids overly prominent colors and instead enhances the overall aesthetic with black. It seems to be an interesting addition not only for classic bikes but also for those looking to give a slightly sportier vibe.

Adjust the protrusion to your liking.

What concerns me about bar-end mirrors is how they look after installation. AERONAUT allows you to adjust not only the angle of the mirror but also the extension outward by moving the arm. The ideal mirror position can change depending on the rider's body size and handlebar position. It’s great that you can adjust the angle to a position that is easy for you to see, rather than being restricted to a fixed position. The mirrors are made with high-strength glass. They have a diameter of 100mm and a mirror surface curvature of R1400, finished with a thin 4mm thickness. While they are compact, they still fulfill the original purpose of a mirror—providing excellent visibility for rearward checks.

The expression of the motorcycle changes when the tip of the handle changes.

The area around the handle is the rider's cockpit. Because of that, it's easy to feel the changes when replacing the mirrors.
With AERONAUT, the bold round holes and slim arms create a fresh atmosphere unlike the stock mirrors. When viewing your parked bike from a distance and seeing that the handlebars are tidy all the way to the ends, it lifts your spirits with a "That's just cool!"

It comes with billet colors for 22.2mm and 25.4mm handlebars, allowing for simultaneous installation with Motone's bar ends. The fun of customizing is not just about design; it's about finishing it while considering the combination with your beloved bike.

I want to match it with Triumph's neo-classic

The compatible models for the 100mm type include Triumph's T100/T120, Speed Twin 900, and Scrambler 900. In addition to the 100mm size, a more compact 80mm diameter version is also available.

The neo-classic lineup from Triumph maintains traditional styles while enjoying modern details. By combining it with AERONAUT, which evokes racing cars, it can be shaped into a unique ride that's not just purely classic.

Even without changing bikes, just one mirror can slightly alter the usual scenery. When you next view your bike from your favorite angle, you might find yourself grinning at the changes at the ends of the handlebars. Surely.
