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?

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.
