Just installed some CRG mirrors. Not the cheapest, but really good quality. Looks 1000% better than the stock mirrors. I had some Rhinomoto bar ends on order, but they had a production problem that delayed shipping. Took a little fiddling, but was able to use the stock bar weights. Had to make a nylon spacer to extend them out slightly and then an aluminum shim under the mirror clamp. Total cost, $1.50.   photo upload internet |

LIke the look. I added the mirror extenders to my stock mirrors and that was a huge improvement.

I have the same RhinoMoto bar ends and knockoff mirrors. The bar ends are awesome. One of the mirrors works great, but the other won't stay in the set vertical position... Could be user error. I'm going to mess with Loctite and different positions before I splurge for a CRG or Rizoma option.

They are really good mirrors but I'm going to be reverting back to stock. They make lane splitting difficult, even folding in, they tend to "squeeze" my hand.
I'm waiting for the Brembo Mirror mount so I can remount the stock mirrors to my R1 master cylinder. For anybody that's interested in this setup, I'll be selling mine shortly after I get that all sorted out. |

I broke down and bought the Rhino bar ends. My budget set up was a little tight on my hands. The extra little from the Rhino ends make a a huge difference. A little pricey, but I sold myself that they also had built in sliders. Very happy now, and the mirrors are still rock solid and clear.

I spent a lot more time with the knockoff mirrors, and have absolutely zero issues with them. If I were to drop my bike and break one (knock on wood), I'd purchase them again without a doubt.

I'm planning to pick up a left over '17 FZ-10 soon and I'd like to get some different mirrors. Thanks! |

The Ebay item that I purchased had this as the title for the ad: "For Yamaha FZ10 MT10 Black Bar End Mirrors Arrow Shape Kit USA Canada Promotion". I will suggest that you buy different bar ends though, as the ones that came with it were terrible.

To all of you who got the knock off mirrors. My set arrived today and I tightened up the two screws where the ball joint goes into the mirror, but they still seem really loose. I haven't put them on the bike yet (I have my Rhino Bar ends to go on with them). Does anyone else have the same experience of the loose socket on these eBay mirrors, and if so, how did you end up fixing it...or did I just get a bad set? (They both seem loose). I'm 100% sure that if I mount these and go down the road, the mirrors will start moving on me.

I just tightened it WAYYY tighter than I was comfortable doing at first. Like to the point of worrying about stripped threads. It hasn't bothered me since though. |
