Hey all, so the koso mirrors I bought were a massive disappointment, the pivot arm that holds the bolt snapped so am intending to send them back. Anyone know of any decent mirrors for naked bikes that both look good and give good rear view. Considering going back to oem mirrors at this point.

IIRC you didn't want extruding barends because of filtering Question

Try those 'fold up-and-over the grip' bar end ones, mates got them on his streetfighter and they look fairly minimal, you can see them but theyre not as huge as the beanstalk OEM ones.

And visibility on his bike at least is equal to the OEMS

Something like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-UNIVERSAL-MOTORBIKE-BAR-END-REARVIEW-MIRRORS-7-8-PAIR-MOTORCYCLE-BIKE-/350827023835?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item51aeeb8ddb
Should be able to find smaller ones if they look too bulky

I bought those ones linked above, I would give them a 7/10, quality is ok, for £20 there is no complaining. Expect a long wait for them to arrive though, mine took the best part of a month.

I have mine sitting vertically downwards, I get quite a narrow field of view behind me but it is enough. I am back to being filtering king again though so I am happy!

Unless it's a really poor quality or ultra-light bike, usually the original mirrors are by the far best, especially when compared to cheap aftermarket ones.

What's up with the originals?

Or dominator lights don't suit the rest of the bike Wink.
(Yes, I had dominator lights on my old zx9 - but only because it was a step up from a single 35w enduro unit and let me run a HID too.)
