bar end mirror

[gshok108]

I have just the regular Hindsight.  I have them clamped directly to my bars, but I am running motocross bars.  If you are running stock bars with bar ends, the easiest way is to turn down a section of your bar end to 7/8" on a lathe.  I did this for a few of my riding buddies.  If no access to a lathe, it is probably best to order the adapter.

If you go with bar end mirrors, you loose the barend weights, right?  I know the weights are meant to reduce vibration, a good thing, and altho I hate the stock mirrors, too, I REALLY have that buzzing feeling in my hands for hours after a long ride...

Any suggestions, experiences?

Steve....I have the CRGs on my '03 B12N and love them.  As stated earlier EXCELLENT quality and look methinks.  No vibration and have detentes and 'foldability'.  Yeah, you've gotta trash the bar-end weights and it seems to make absolutely no difference re: vibration/numbness.  My right hand STILL goes numb after 20mins!      BTW: the convex mirrors take a little getting used to in regards to distance of vehicles behind and left/right of you.  They tend to look a mile away but are much closer than appears.  I always check over the shoulder before lane changes, etc. anyway.  Once you're used to them..you're happy.

I put a set of aftermarket bar end mirrors on my old XS11 Yamaha. They looked sexy but were a definite trade off in my oppinion.
  Your rear view is better -less body in the way  -but smaller as the mirror is further away from you eyes.
  You must move your head/eyes a tad greater to see 'em which distracts your view of any trouble on the road ahead.

The aftermarket mirrors were fairly cheap and used the same compressed rubber plug mounting method as the bar ends of a bandit.
