Bar end mirrors or standard mirrors?

[Pol Anorl]

What would you guys advise? was looking into bar end mirrors as im not to keen on the look of the ones on the bros, and the left one gets blown in a little at around 60mph.

Not a big fan of bar end mirrors to be honest. I'm not too keen on the look of them, and getting in and out of my garage would probably involve knocking them out of position on a regular basis

I hate the look of Bar-End mirrors, my friend has them on his Bandit. They got completely mashed when he had an off. Just go for a nice set of regular mirrors.

My wife has a set on her street triple they look better than the original's but not as practical.

Disagree .. esp if you a bit of a wide load, Oberon knock offs for 15 quid or so from HK via fleabay ...

Just like originals bar the fittings will need replacing with A2 stainless steel.

Your tribute to Simoncelli ....and you rest your ballsack on it.

Suppose bar end mirrors have their practical uses, especially on a bike with narrow clip-ons found on cafe racers....and as mentioned, wide loads.

Sicos sticker stayed on my ballsack for 2 weeks ..

Those mirrors posted above are the same as the Motrax ones i paid 30 quid for ! before i would trust / gamble on HK stuff, scared off before by chinese threads on here etc ...

They are good, but don't bend in enough and are bigger. If you want to filter easier, get in and out of shed etc and want ones that look better and are effectivly micro mirrors, then the oberon rip offs are the ones, exact copys bar the fittings, of oberons 80 quid ones.

Depends on your taste I guess. Remember they will slightly alter the width of your handlebars, so worth noting next time you filter through traffic after fitting them.

Thats why i got mine, they are not much wider in reality than bar end weights, so much easier getting in and out of house and through gates, filtering.

If i was not so ' wide ' i would stick to normal ones.

Also, perfecting the wiggle teknique helps LOTS !

I can't see past me shoulders with normal mirrors on ye-olde Honda H100, but the ones I have been looking at cost £70 a pair!
No point in doubling the value of the bike just for the sake of being able to see where I've just been... I have yet to overtake anything, though filtering may just be possible with a force 8 following wind on a slope that would make most ski-jumpers weap with joy
Happy new year everyone!

[WannaBeDude]

The ones in pic on me bike cost about 16 quid del .... silver or black ....

I too was not prepared to pay 80 quid for ' real ' oberons, knowing that i'm likely to break them anytime soon ...

Push um in if they don't come out, mine came out after losing a fight with a long thin flat head screwdriver.
