I was looking for new bar enders and came across a set of CAT EYE BM500G they look really cool and light anyone ever had or heard of them? |

YES, YES!! i have them, and are well worth the $9.99 a little shaky above 60 mph's, but that's all the more reason not to speed i got them at a local bicycle shop, and can't find them on-line. CAT-EYE company based in japan, that might be why no english web site. a little shaky, rubs outside of hand if you got big paws like me, no modification other than pulling out bar-end plugs. good product. |

Wonder how long it would take my Laverda to shake them into oblivion. |

okay, i got the BM-300G ones. my concern about the BM-500 MTB model is that they would pivot at highway speeds 'cuz the stalks are long (providing more leverage) i really had to torque down mine to make them stay still. brumbear, let us know how it works out |

I dont prefere bar end's, but the gixxer mirror/blinkers should be standard on all bikes, I plan to get some like that. here they are http://www.speedzilla.com/buellxbr.shtml |

I've been running the Cateye 300's for about 3 months- They are great for around town, and local commuting, but at highway speed are near worthless because they are so light- anything above 60..but its simple to put the stock stalks back on for some longer rides. For 7.99 and bought less than a half block from my house they are excellent, I only run a left handed one- so under 10 bucks total! worth a stop at your local bike shop |

I love my bar-end bicycle mirror, I can see everything behind me very clearly, and for $10 it is well worth it. AND it cleans up the lines on the bike, getting rid of the HIDEOUSLY UGLY stock units. (Message edited by pwnzor on January 15, 2008) |

Hey Pwnzor...is your bike really that shiny or is the picture doctored ? |

Yes, my Daisy is that shiny, especially after I just gave her a bath. I like to wash her naughty parts! edit: On a sunny day, when you play around with different angles you can get that *bling* effect as long as the bike is relatively clean. (Message edited by pwnzor on January 15, 2008) |

It's the chrome kickstand spring that makes the bike! Thanks for the compliments. I really like the red/silver color scheme... |
