I love my Bar end mirrors...only mirrors i have found which allow me to see what the hell is going on behind me, and plus, they lower the profile of the bike, and give the bike a much more aggressive look IMHO!
:rockon:
Yeah I love mine too and they look great... which is why I got them , but let's be real, you can't really see **** in them!!! I mean I can see whether there's a car behind me or not (all I need them for), but gauging the distance is hard, and everything looks tiny in them!! And you have to take your eyes wayyyy off the road to look at them... I am not saying they don't work, I just think stock mirrors in general (except on the Ducati 848 or 1198 lol) provide much better rear visibility...
David, I can't remember, but did you have the Hindsight or the Hindsight LS mirrors? I'm just thinking with the elbow and rubber mounts on the LS that maybe it's a bit more stable? Heck, I have no clue...just thinking out loud...lol.
And it's funny, because I always HATED the stock mirrors on the FZ6. I completely agree with Wolfman that I think they lower the profile and give the bike a much more aggressive look. But it wasn't the "antennae" look of the stock mirrors that I didn't like (I actually liked that the fairing on the FZ looked like a wasp's head), but rather the usability of the mirrors. It seemed I could never really see behind me without catching a huge look at my elbows (although I always do a head-check anyway).
No questions about the look... stock mirrors are fugly... it's the case on most bikes imo... CRGs are very well made and look amazing... agreed there too... they're not horrible about seeing behind you either, however, every time I ride Cali Rider's stock FZ and look behind me I am shocked at how big and visible everything looks in the stock mirrors compared to my tiny convex CRGs (exact same as yours) in which everything looks "ants size" , and I don't have to turn my head and look away from the road in front of me...
Just my personal experience though and I can understand if you have a different experience about it... (most ppl I know agree bad ends are more for looks than functionality, but hey... whatever! ).
Great job, corbin seat looks nice, I should be getting mine this week
Seat cowl works with the Corbin? I thought I had read somewhere that it was not a direct match...
