Bar Mirrors...

[fazersharp]

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

[anutz]

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?

I had to move my arms or shoulders to use the OEM mirrors. I don't think the bar end mirrors look the best, but i don't think they look bad either.  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...???

Computer mock up only im afraid.  I should patent it.
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.

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

[fazersharp]

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

[anutz]

i think u are correct on inspection.....

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.
