I did a google search site and did not find anything definitive. Does anyone currently have or have had aftermarket bar end mirrors/stock replacement mirrors that they can throw out some input on?

I am specifically interested in bar end mirrors to clean up the front of the bike, and looked around a bit and mostly found ebay mirrors, a few puig styles and not to much else lol.


And Which style do you prefer?

I just put bar ends on my bike, got them from Amazon actually. They're knockoffs of the Rizoma reverse retros But there are a ton of options for bar ends...stock replacement idk though.

got a link for us?

These are the ones I bought, but all I did was search "bar end mirrors" in Amazon and these were a few of the many that came up (circle ends, others like mine, and the same set I got in different colors too). Whether any of them are good quality or not I don't really know. Haven't really rode too much with mine yet.

I've got CRG bar end mirrors mounted to RhinoMoto bar ends (the bar ends are specifically made with a channel so the mirrors can mount to them). They're also made to screw into the bar like the stock bar ends do...I can't recommend them enough!

These shots are when the bike had the Buell headlight. I've got the VS-02 now. The mirrors are pricey (I think I got mine for around $145 shipped) and so are the bar ends (I believe those were around $50), but it's well worth it. Both are rock solid and don't vibrate at all.

I've always been a fan of something more like this.

The only problem with it on a sport bike is tank clearance. Anyone with one of the bar end mirrors ever consider flipping them under and is there enough room? The ones already posted look fairly small and like they might work.

It looks clean flipped down but your arm gets in the way. Napoleons are easy to adjust so i flip them down if im not going to use them that much. Riding in the city i have them up and a little outwards. They give great visibility imo.

Rizoma Spy-R mirrors, I ended up rotating them so the stalks aim forward to get more usable area, but I still like them.

I use bar-ends pretty much like Erci's above. Purchased from eBay for next to nothing.

The quality was surprisingly good. They have adjustments for everything, uses the same alan key that comes with your tool kit. Very very sturdy, and along with the RhinoMoto bar end's, they don't vibrate one bit (unlike the stock which turn into a blur at high RPM).

Nice. The CRGs look well made. As i'm going naked, I'm looking at the CRG Arrow ones. I like the shape.

I've got CRG bar end mirrors mounted to RhinoMoto bar ends (the bar ends are specifically made with a channel so the mirrors can mount to them). They're also made to screw into the bar like the stock bar ends do...I can't recommend them enough!

These shots are when the bike had the Buell headlight. I've got the VS-02 now. The mirrors are pricey (I think I got mine for around $145 shipped) and so are the bar ends (I believe those were around $50), but it's well worth it. Both are rock solid and don't vibrate at all.
