Heres a mock up of anan idea I have come up with these would be molded to the outside shape and would Velcro into position - a 2 minute job to fit
Re: Bar Mirrors... - anutz - 25-05-15
hmmm......if that would work that would be nice...
when you say mock up - is this computer stuff or an actual piece of kit you made/got?

Just got some cheap chinese EBAY ones to try out in case i didn't like them/they sucked but they are actually really good. Work well, can glance in them and NOT just see myself. Yeah.
These look like the ones...???

I even thought of adding a block under the mirror mount - between the mount and fairing to jack up the mirror which would help.
I have got used to doing the "funky chicken" when I use the mirrors, and I am not that wide a chap anyway but the simple option for a better view is to fit 1000 mirrors as they are longer stems

funky chicken.....thats a good way to describe it :lol

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.
Re: Bar Mirrors... - anutz - 25-05-15
i ordered a set of those bar end ones off the ebay link - cheap enough for a gamble....and not horiffic looking....depending on your view point
Re: Bar Mirrors... - fazersharp - 25-05-15
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
Re: Bar Mirrors... - anutz - 25-05-15
i think u are correct on inspection.....
Re: Bar Mirrors... - Nebuchernezzer - 26-05-15
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.
