Two of our sponsors that specialize in aftermarket parts for Buells are : American Sport Bike http://www.americansportbike.com/ Adrenaline Motors http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/ Give them a try. Personally, I just use low cost Third Eye bicycle mirrors mounted on my left bar end. I like bar end mirrors because they are dirt cheap, and since they are so far out board, you can see who is right behind you. That being said, lots of guys just can't get used to the bar ends.

I just bought a pair of Rizoma mirrors for my XBR. Expensive but very nice. One distributer in the US. www.pjsparts.com |

Brumbear, There are as many mirror configurations here as snowflakes. I would encourage you to do an extensive search for mirrors. It will depend on whether you are looking for bar end mirrors or stalk mounted. There are options from aftermarket to model to model swaps (Warbaby came up with a swap out from is Tuono that looked great). I have Rizomas. I like them. After riding my bike, Etennuly explained very intently into which orifice he thought I should "install them". Different Strokes. |

give PJ a call. He was very helpful working with me on the phone to pick out a set of mirrors for my bike. He has everything in stock. I talked to him Wednesday, parts sent out Thursday, arrived on Saturday. Great service, He's at the Dragon this weekend though. |

I got the Rizoma dynamics off Trojan http://www.britnett-carver.co.uk/trojanhorse/prods /11.html They work. Thought I was going have trouble seeing but - turns out they are just right . I like the look of these( click below) but alot of peeps did'nt think much of them - pretty - but too small to see. http://www.britnett-carver.co.uk/trojanhorse/prods /197.html |

go to auto parts store and get small blind spot mirror(about $2 w/tax). they just stick to your mirror and work great. |
