If using a phone and action camera with a webcam function connected via USB, perhaps a sun visor/hood of some sort would help? Some GoPros will monitor wirelessly.

The bolt is for show, not a real bolt? If that entire end is plastic, you may still be able to cut that end off to fit an end-bar mirror, but you'd have to take the throttle off and inspect it, to make sure it'd still work. That particular seller is pretty good (I've ordered brake pads from them several times), maybe you can keep the left and get a partial refund for the right? If you're going to keep the left, don't open the packaging until the seller has answered, obvs.Dam now Im stuck with those handlebar mirrors cant have them now as the throttle is part of those end caps. Ive tried turning that black Allen nut but seems it burs the plastic when trying to undo it, as can get a proper key to fit right. Im not going to remove the throttle as the bike is still new. it looks then I will have to return the mirrors for handle bar types

I think the next time you ask a question, I will start with "DON'T BUY ANYTHING YET!"
I've got Zefals both sides and have applied reflective tape on the fronts, to draw attention.
Yes I should have checked bike 1st. are well we all make mistakes as the hedgehog said to the wire brush
My left is useful on big roundabouts, and when I'm switching lanes on wide roads.
You'll be looking at your arm - I've tried something similar, I don't think those extend out to the side far enough. They did extend sufficiently out, when I joined two together, but looked daft - I've still got that useless junk somewhere, that you could buy? A million each +P&P, obvs. I accept Paypal.
If it were my bike, I'd take the throttle off (looks likely a sleeve secured to the handlebar at the other end of the throttle), and have a good look inside and measure, to see if cutting the end off, or drilling a hole through, would leave the throttle functioning.
Nar thanks for the Advice, But I'm not messing with the throttle as Bike is still under guarantee for a year, so don't want to mess with stuff. I may get long arm mirrors so they stick out more
I did eventually find long arm mirrors intended for motorbikes, but decided to try the Zefals to save weight. Much Googling required methinks.
It's simpler to get a refund first, prevents problems if the replacements have issues.
