I saw them on a xb12s on ebay and liked the look, but how useful are they? I don't need to see everything behind me, but i'd like to see something.

I have nothing right now and anythings better than nothing.

I made these myself. I have found it a pain in the A _ _ that I have to lift my arm to look behind me. These allow me to look under my arm with out moving. They are small, but convex. This gives me a good view without the antenna looking feelers!!

I decided against the chrome and got these.

With any luck they keep these in stock and i'll get them by Friday. I'll let ya'll know if these are at all useful. I just want something to glance at to see if a car is behind me. I never rely on my mirrors when changing lanes.

If these blow, then I'll try froggy's suggestion.

I don't think those go with a Buell well. If you like 'em, run 'em.

Bar end mirrors are one of the most useful things I've done to my bike.

P3newbie, as soon as I get my bike back from MPH I will take some pics of them. They are real easy to make and cost $4 for a set.

Anything less than bar ends give me a perfect view of my arms. My Napoleons are worth every penny I paid for them.

They did give me a perfect view of my arms. I ordered the moto deluxe bar ends off ebay. They did kinda make my buell look like a bull though.

Retrittion I can make you a set but it will be a month or so. I am swamped at work and my boys are racing motocross constantly! or I can take some pics of the set I made disassembled. You choose.
