Background:
The Gen 1 SV650S has solid clip-on bars and the bar end
weights are held on by 6mm bolts into threaded holes.
Project
Description:
Most of the bar-end mirrors on eBay are for
hollow bars
and there doesn't seem to be one specifically for the SV650s. One of
these had potential with a solid body resembling a bar end weight with
the mirror poking out the side or out the end. I confirmed
with the
seller that the mirror bolt was 6mm. There seem to be a couple of
variants of this mirror, with slightly different sizes and bits to fit
inside the handlebar; not sure if the bolt in the other type
is also
6mm.
Installation:
The plan was to turf the junk used for hollow bars, and the stock bar
end weights, and then bolt the mirror (suitably modified) directly to
the end of the clip-on. It hurts to take a hacksaw to a shiny new part.
Replaced the supplied 55mm bolts with M6 x 25 socket head bolts. 
Now these little beauties bolt directly to the handlebars.
The mirror
body is aluminum and lighter than the stock bar end weight.
My favourite mirror position is side mount below the bar, and they
just clear
the tank at full bar lock. They give a great field of view with one
exception - they're directly in line with your wrists. Second choice,
I'll side mount above the bar.
Results:
Field of view is great , gently convex, now the stock mirrors are
used to look wide, and the bar-ends to view directly behind. They're
slightly wider than the stock bars but narrower than the stock
mirrors.
One minor gripe, adjusting requires an allen key (or three), but once adjusted they stay put.
Come Spring, took a ride to tell if handlebar vibration changes or the mirrors
vibrate - no noticeable increase in handlebar vibration with the mirrors
replacing the end weights. Likewise, the new mirrors remain calm and clear at all speeds.
