I'm thinking about getting some bar end mirrors for my bolt. Does anyone have any pics of any firebolts with this done?

Not a firebolt but I've got an '08 XB12S and they look GREAT! Believe it or not i can actually see VERY clear out of them too at any RPM!....unlike my stockers which blurred everything through the vibrations!

I plan on purchasing an R next, and after my newly found vision with the bar ends on my S, I will definitely be putting bar ends on. I don't care how it looks. Vision is sooo much better with the bar ends.

i bought moto-deluxe off ebay, 40 dollars shipped. They are great! No vibration even at highway speeds. Install was about 10 minutes but that included drinking a beer. I could not justify spending big bucks for crg's.

10 bucks for a pair of cat eye racing bicycle mirrors. no vibration, and i only spent 5 bucks replacing a broken one after a low-side.

Sam, Those are the ones I'm looking at getting.

Lone, I like how that looks. I think I may go ahead and get some. I will post some pics when I get them on.

Thanks

I have the $40 pair from ebay on my ss. They are excellent. I can see everything behind me. I wish I would have gotten then from day one. (the crg lane splitters are nice because they fold, but I wasn't spending the $$$ if I wasn't sure I would like them. Knowing how much I like these I may have gone for the lane splitters.)

I have been using a set of black Napoleons for the past 12 months. All I could see from the stock mirrors was a little bit of road and a hell of a lot of me. The bar ends though are 100% better. No vibration at speed, no chance of a cop sneaking up behind you, and they give the bike a bit of a cafe racer look. Al at American Sports Bike sells them. I'm hopeless at uploading good size photos to this site so send me an email and I'll send you a couple of shots.

I've got the Napoleons as well. They work great and you can move em all over the place and they are rubber mounted. Not many vibrations get to them. Good price too. American Sport Bike!

If I had an R it'd look just like Lonexb's!

Here we go - photos of my XB12 with bar ends. Plus the chrome plugs American Sportbike supplied to cover the holes left by the original mirrors are the mutt's nuts.

Anyone know where to get new "expander sleeves" for bar end mirrors? One of the inner sleeves on my ebay mirrors has broken, and the other one doesn't look like it'll last too much longer...
