821/1200 Mirrors

I've decided I can't live with bar ends so I want normal ones again. First off does the glass bit on these adjust? I can't remember what my 821 ones were like. The stock S2R style ones look a bit long and Mickey mouse like

If any has any for sale let me know

I’m using a pair of scrambler mirrors on one of my M900.
They are nice and cheap to buy and you can see the road behind as well as your elbows. It’s always nice to know that your elbows are still looking good!

The mirror does adjust but only over a very small arc. The mirror is best set up by rotating the bar clamp and rotation of the stem and fine tuned with the mirror. It's a crap design.

Thanks for that, there are some eBay copies but the seller said the mirror doesn't adjust

You have to be firm with them.

I used to have the cheap copies on my s4r, pretty good view for the money, quite fragile though, I paid about £40 a pair, busted them both in an off last year so got a pair or end bar end mirrors,not such a good view but more discreet IMHO.
