I use a set of Motrax ones, they're alright but do require regular tightening

I have bar end mirrors on my monster, the really small ones with flat glass lenses. I can see a decent amount behind me though have to move my head to see a wider view. This I found was better than the previous set of motrax bar ends which had a convex lens which do give you a wider view but everything was so small in the mirror as to render them useless and a near miss with a van due to relying on this view made me remove them an hour later. Rizoma make some funky if expensive ones. |
| 1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things. | |

Zefal (who make mountain bike stuff) do a decent bar end mirror with convex refractor (wide angle view) which work pretty bloody well IME and are about £15 IIRC I have one on my old streetfighter |

Rather than bar end mirrors (which look gay) go for inner bar mounted mirrors, the one I have is designed for a pushbike but works really well, cheap too. I'm going to nip off see if I can find you a pic and/or link Turns out there made by Zefal ( which someone else mentioned!) Top one on this link! http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=...ed=0CBkQzAMwAA | |

I got these a while ago - Bar End Mirrors Suzuki SV650 GSXR 600 750 1000 Hayabusa on eBay (end time 06-Jan-10 12:15:19 GMT) if you undo the clamp and take out the part that would go into the bar end, then they go nicely round the handlebars - get a good view uder my arms, just make sure that your thumbs don't knock them too much - pretty cheap too |
