    Bar end mirrors ?

    I have the third set of mirrors (supposed to be back to used originals) on my 81 GS750E and still wish I could see better around my arms and shoulders.

    I have superbike bars .. 29 or 30".

    Do bar end mirrors solve that issue ?

    Anyone have some suggestions ?

    I noticed 8trackmind has some cool ones on his 78 1000.

    Well he's a cool guy. Of course he would have cool mirrors on his cool GS1000.
    The real question is: Are you cool enough for mirrors like his?

    ( J/K... Yes, you can see around your shoulders very well. I love 'em)

        I have no Idea. I stole them off of my brother's project bike.

        Ninja_Lancer: Where did you get those mirrors I stole off your bike?

          Yes, get barend mirrors. If you can afford CRGs, they look very cool. I think I have Napoleons or maybe Emgos. Cheap and you don't see a bit of your shoulder.....and they make you look like you're actually serious about this motorcycle thing.

            Here are the "cool" mirrors. I got them at the local Kaw dealer for about 19.00 each. These are a bit cheaper but I've never dealt with these people.

                    These are simple, look decent, and can be had at most bicycle shops for about $12.

                            your local pedal bike shop may have some that fit into the end of the 7/8" bars. i looked at some that were $10-$15 but didn't end up getting them. still might if i quit letting friends drop the poor bike

                              YMMV, but every set of EMGO mirros I've bought were crap.


                              I'd reccomend anything but EMGOs.
