No more rabbit ears! MIRRORS MIRRORS

[Scott_Thomas]

LOL! Good to know about the cops! Always nice to know where the PoPo is at!

On my GS500 they weren't too bad. The FZ has a much smoother engine. The biggest issue I had going bar ends was I could tell there were cars, I just couldn't tell what kind of cars there were. For instance, I didn't know if the vehicle directly behind me was a cop or not.

do any of them not have the convex lens? I want a set but I like knowing where the cops are.

Pretty sure the cheap ebay ones and the really expensive ones are both convex. I bet all of those round ones are.

However, I've seem some bar ends that look more like regular mirrors. Could look into those.

Much better, Welcome to the non-bug antennae side. Mine went within the first week or two. LOL!

Do they work better or worse than the OEM mirrors? (They certainly LOOK better!).

 

[Scott_Thomas]

Functionality is about the same IMO. Some may say otherwise. You may have to look under your elbow instead of over. I have had mine on pretty much as soon as I got my bike. I don't think there's anything else that comes as close to stock as these do. I like some of the small triangular looking ones, but you lose a lot of functionality to look good.

Congrats on getting the bike and the new mod. There are plenty of mods to do and this the place to get info on how to do them. If you have any questions try to search, because almost everything's been done and is covered on here. If you get stuck feel free to ask.

Is that a good or bad thing!!!

I really like your setup man. The bars and mirrors look really good. Also like the blue accents rather than red because its different.

Was there any trouble installing them? Or did they just fit with the oem set-up?

Love the look, functionality not so much. At least you can view your hands.

It's kind of hard to tell really, they look like they should be maybe 2 inches longer so they would get around the edge of your arm more.

That's while they don't look as goofy as the stock mirrors they still don't give you that much more of a benefit it seems.

 

[2wheelie]

Even the stock ones aren't giving the best view. For a clear view of what is going on from the sides and directly behind, the mirrirs have to be on the bar ends or sitting on the bars w/long and sticking out arms (ie V-strom, BMW GS, etc.)

Unfortunately 28pages of discussion shows that finding style and function together aint easy and most just make a compromise either way.Not as useless as you might think but took me awhile to get right.

Fit straight into OEM holes,as easy as fitting standard ones on.
