Ok so I bought extenders for my stock mirrors. The are great for function but ugly as sin. I want the forum’s take on the setup you are running. Haven’t decided on bar end mirrors or replacing the stock ones with a sleeker mirror. I actually do want to see behind me so function is a plus with no vibrations. Let me know your experiences.

I'm getting rid of my stock mirrors and going bar end. I think it just matches the look of the bike so much meter.
Plus down low I feel like it will be easier to see since my body won't be in the way.

I wasn’t sure about bar end mirrors but after I installed a set of Rizoma’s I love ‘em . Very little vibration in the triple digits, a bit pricey but I feel they are worth it and look better than the stock ones.

Taking a hard look at the Spy-R model 80mm or possibly the 94mm. Was there enough weight to the setup to counter balance removing the bar end?

Bar ends are good if you buy legitimate brand and not eBay ones that use cheaper metals. They always fail given enough time.
I had bar ends for a while but went back to stock because they were making lane splitting more of a challenge and felt it was just a matter of time before I clipped them on someone's mirror.

They're still nice and tight and they don't move at all Just bought ‘em. Can’t go wrong for 35 bones. That’s like two good drinks and a hamburger. I just can’t justify 300+ for Rizoma or CRG.

Have to say these Kemimoto mirrors are damn good for Chinese knock offs. Make sure u use blue lock tight for the screws. Fit right on the stock bar ends. Thanks a bunch Will for the tip. F’n saved me 300+ bones. I can buy 10 sets of these. Have to ask did you change the screws to stainless or use the ones provided?

Hmmm looking at pics the freaking garage needs to be spruced up a bit it seems.

I bought the Kemimoto mirrors and put them on my bike Saturday. Very impressed with quality and finish!!
I used the bar ends they provided in the box but looking at some of your guys suggestions I might put the stock back on and use those instead.
Reason I used theirs is because the mirrors are heavy (good quality construction!) and I figured using their lighter bar ends with the mirrors would offset the weight of removing the stock bar ends.

I mounted them on the stock bar ends and have to say that the numbness while riding is reduced by having the extra weight. I can ride a bit longer than before I need to give my hands/arms a break. Not sure it that has reduced the vibration to alleviate the strain or not. Maybe it is just in my head. Still early in the season. Will has to be commended for his recommendation. I’m freaking pleasantly surprised at the quality to price ratio on the mirrors. These mirrors rock!

I was going to install theirs but then realized they'll fit right on the stock ones and I've been using them that way ever since I installed them lol
