Anyone seen any new cool mirrors for the R?
Anything that would look cool on my ride?
Thanks for the help.

Rizoma makes some beautiful black anodized mirrors.

Check out their site.

Not a replacement idea here. I like the stock's.

I did augment them though...

Thanks 892. I put the stock ones back on for now, but I hate them. The bike looks so much more streamlined without them. Thought about some bar-ends. I'm not sure. Anyone have an R with some bar-ends on?

You can get some tasty Italian Billet mirrors from Trojan or American sport bike for around a hundred bucks or so.
However, it it pretty hard to beat the Third Eye bar end mirror available about $10 at most bike stores.
Aside from the fact that they are not very expensive, they work great, don't look cheap and are very durable. Give you a much better idea of what is going on astern than the factory mirrors too. They are all black, very simply designed, and would look marvelous on your carefully detailed bike - but then, what mirror wouldn't:-)

Go with the CRG bar end mirrors ...avail. at several of the sponsors...however you won't find them cheaper than www.bevelheaven.com 130$ shipped to your door...the mirrors are all billet as are the adapters...what they lack in size they make up for by not vibrating....

Hey Tattd, I have Napoleons on my 12R. Turned down. Looks pretty tough IMO - very roadster-ish. The pics are too big to post but I can email them to you. I will pm you. Oh yeah, I also use little license plate bolts to fill the mirrors. I have the maltese cross ones from Dennis kirk. Looks pretty trick. Nice ride - I want to do the blacked out thing too.

Someone posted a link last week for a set of very sexy carbon fiber and billet aluminum ones that bolt up to the stock location on the R's. They were pricey though, like $250 a set. I think they are made by Magical Racing overseas.

Avail. with longer stems and in black anodized.
Can't really tell from the pics but they are carbon fiber.
I plan on getting a set next time I have some spare cash floating around.
