Bar End mirrors

[seratt]

Father broke my right mirror off on accident.

I'd really love to just take the other mirror off and put some bar ends.

Will these work ok with stock bar and grips or will I need to adapt or change something out?

Never tried 'em Tim.  I did buy an aftermarket mirror in Kerrville last year, after dropping my bike unloading it from the pickup
It got me home, but I wound up buying a replacment mirror from Honda because the aftermarket mirror vibrated so severely.  I don't know what type of vibration damping that Honda uses in their mirrors, but it works!

I concur with what Lawrence said...

I also broke a mirror at MOOTMag last year, cleaning of all things hehehe, and bought a aftermarket unit that drove me crazy.  I ended up buying another Honda unit and it is great!

Thanks guys.

Gonna give those bar ends a shot, or some similar.

I want some on my cbr too, so I'll just put em on the cbr if I don't like em.

At the last wrench session I learned my ends screw off also.  I was considering the grip mirrors in addition to the stock mirrors.

Tim,

I've considered bar-ends before to, but the reasons that I decided against them were:

1) The stock mirrors are close to, if not in, your peripheral vision (depending on riding position that is).  If not in the peripheral vision, they are a short eye movement away from being seen.  The bar-ends make the mirror move a bit longer and would not be in the peripheral vision area,,, for cruiser handlebars anyway.  Sport bike bars are definitely different.

2) I am limited in my storage space, so anything that makes the bike wider is not a good thing for me.

Just my decision points anyway.
