Mirrors

[Jez]

I bought some little mirrors off ebay that looked really cool on their own but are awful on the bike. Similar to these

So, they are coming off.

I liked the mirrors that Nonnie bought and might try and find them again on ebay however...I was in my car this weekend when a yellow monster came behind me (steady now!) and past me, with handlebar end mirrors and I must say they actually looked quite cool. I think they were in chrome to! Black for me personally.

Any thoughts on these things? Looks, fitting them, using them......

Go for the bar end mirrors. I got some from ebay in black and only cost around £30.

5 minute job to fit them, remove the bar end weights and replace with the mirrors and you get a much better view of what's going on behind you.

Does hamper the filtering slightly as will add about 2 or 3 inches on to each end but looks much better in my opinion.

I like the oberon stuff. I fitted the square mirrors in the end last night. they dont actually look so bad afterall. Might post some piccies tonight.

Sorry to jump in on your thread but I've also been trying to hunt down some bar-end mirrors. Really like the look of the oberon mirrors but can't decide on the street fighter or the adjustable ones, any suggestions? Also what do you think about having just one - practicality as well as aesthetically?

I have a friend with just one on his S4R and it looks mean: in a good way! He seems to manage except on motorways he has to look back at joining sliproads. Personally, I like the "binocular vision" of two...
I have adjustable black Oberon barends which I moved from my 695 to the new S2R1000 and they are superb. I don't have a problem with seeing in them and they're perfect for putting on lipstick, or mascara!

Just one thing - does anyone know where I can get 5/16" blanks for the original holes? On the 695 I just turned the clamp upside down on the handlbars so the holes didn't fill with rain and stuff but that won't work on the S2R.

5/16"? funny metric size!
try 8mm

I just bought & fitted the DP mirrors with the integral indicators - ordered them through Seastar and they arrived within 5 days.

Look much better than the standard, rather "odd" shaped mirrors & get rid of the huge std front indicators. Two birds with one stone - result!

Hi there, fab name. Can I see a picture of the integral indicatored ones?
