It's a difficult one, the old elbow in mirror problem. I've got the little disc mirrors fitted, not ideal but they give a good view of the road periphery.
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

Those bar end ones looks like you have removed the OEM bar weights -- is that an issue, it would be better if that clamp on the mirrors went around the OEM bar ends without having to remove them to fit the mirrors
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

The ones I got could probably clamp around a bar weight if the weight is the right diameter.
The mirrors come clamped to a piece of aluminium with a bolt through it that you screw to the bars anyways.  Just unclamp them off that and clamp them onto your weights (if they are the right diameter as mentioned before)

I didn't have bar end weights, just caps so i just took them out and screwed in the ebay bar end mirrors.
I've not noticed any bad vibes etc without weights anyways but i don't spend alot of time at one speed (commuting across city mostly)


EDIT: yeah those cheapos off ebay are the same as what i have.
