mania Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) I am surprised how many folks I see using bar end mirrors these days Anyone here using them? If so what do you think of them? On the one hand I can see they would be in a good line of sight On the other of course it would widen your bike & hamper cutting between cars Just curious what folks who use them think. I dont think they look good at all on sport bikes but have seen more & more now that they have the Z style ninjas & monsters of course Edited April 28, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macknife Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've seen them and don't like them much. I live in Bkk and they are not really practical for heavy traffic. Like you say, they widen the bars too much when I already have enough trouble with the stock mirrors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JINGJOH Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have bar end mirrors on my bike (ER6N). This is the 3rd set of mirrors I have had on the bike since removing the stock mirrors & they are by far my favourite. I agree they don't look good on sports bikes but defiantly suit naked type motos. The bar ends I'm using simple flip back in when I split the traffic (bkk) then when I have some open road in front of me I simple flick either one or both mirrors back out. Using a set of "CRG Lanesplitters" with the 7/8" bung adaptor. Have a couple of sets of Rizoma mirrors in mint condition if anyone's interested PM me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserlazer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 they are to wide for me too in Bangkok but they offer perfect sight and if i am not living in a city, i might consider them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I ran bar ends on my SR with straight drag bars and whilst the rear vision was superb I simply could not cut through the traffic with them so I now have conventional mirrors but under the bars, rear vision is pretty decent as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Mirrors aren't very useful when all you see is your arms! Since riding scooters I turn my head a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
