Recommend some mirrors?

Tmall · 08-11-2013, 06:39 PM

I'd like to put some bar ends on the CB, but the round 2" mirror sticking off the end of the bar has been done to death.

Any suggestions or ideas on a different type or design that would look good on a naked?

I've seen a couple of guys mount them to radiators and whatnot to get them off of the bars... but outside of that, not a whole lot of options if you still want them to be useful (and depending on the bike and how big you are, options off the bar probably aren't going to be especially useful).

I'm running rizoma arrows, def not round, would look good on your angular bike

I had some bar-end mirrors like these Napoleon's: http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Napole...sim_sbs_auto_3. But the shift from looking straight ahead to down at the mirrors was too much for me. I had to move my head down to look instead of shifting my eyes. I went back to the stock mirrors. But they sure looked cool. Mine were chrome instead of black.

Rizoma has a million options. Monster owners love that company because of the crap stock mirrors...

Yep, never seen any bar mirrors that worked for me.

Considering I have to shift my body and pull in my elbows for any motorcycle mirrors to work, a little extra eye movement is the least of my problems.
