Bar end mirrors - any suggestions?

[Goofle]

Hi,

I’ve had a set of bar end mirrors in the past but they were a bit poor to be honest. They constantly vibrates loose or blew out of position at 69mph. Has anyone any suggestions on decent ones please?
I’m guessing the Monster handlebar will have a standard size internal dimension? I can’t measure it as I’m stuck at work for the ‘foreseeable future’ and can’t get home, sadly.

Oberon performance. Small & neat. Not cheap but quality.

They look ideal - just not sure of the i/d of the bar....

If you have std M900 bars, someone will be along soon with the correct info

I've had bar end mirrors on my monster for a couple of years, cheap and cheerful off e-bay . Been spot on and don't move and are blur free, unlike the standard fit ones on my street 765RS .

Hope you get an idea from the pic .

They’re a replacement set as the originals were buggered but using the same mounts. I don’t recall a massive snag getting a different size so I’m inclined to think they’re the standard (7/8”?) size?

I had an oberon one a few years ago and from memory there was a choice of bar size when ordering. Good quality but expensive. I found it too small, 2.5" glass didn't give much of a rear view for my liking.

Best to take a bar end out and measure with a micrometer. The standard bars come in a couple of different wall thicknesses, plus aftermarket may be different again. Depending what fitting the weights are, the fixings may not be easy to remove either: best check.

I have the Oberon mirrors on my M900. They really are excellent. No appreciable vibration to affect the quality of the rear view and a decent field of vision behind. Nicely made with lots of options for how they are angled. Yes they are more expensive than cheap mirrors but worth the extra to me. Also I happen to like the way they look on the bike .

One thing I should mention. They are bolted together with allen bolts , which means that you cannot ( or shouldn't ) grab the mirror to adjust it; it needs to be loosened , repositioned and retightened. This isn't an issue for me.

I too have the Oberon streetfighter mirrors on my S2R, they are fiddly to adjust and the glass area is quite small but I do like them.
They also have flat glass which I prefer, I really dislike the convex glass in some of the bar ends as it make everything seen in the mirror smaller and more difficult to judge whats going on behind.

Likewise, good thing is they fold in/out, returning to the set position with a 'click' so can make the bike narrow with no fiddling to adjust back for use and they give great rear vision despite the small size.

I have bar-end mirrors on the Alazzurra, but stalked mirrors on all the other bikes. What I don't like about bar-ends is that you have to look away from the road to use them. Oh and you can't check your elbows are still there!

I think I may have a brand new set kicking about that I decided not to fit. If you're interested I can see if I can dig them out? They're not Oberon or Rizoma or anything fancy but they looked decent enough.
