I'm putting Renthal street fighter bars on my XB9. The stock mirrors, in my opinion, suck because they vibrate too much. Not that I can avoid that with bar end mirrors....what is the best mirror out there that people have actually used? Thanks |

I use Rhino bar end sliders to mount the mirrors. They look clean and are functional. .http://www.e-securedsite.com/RHINOMOTO/store/myPro ducts.cfm?parentcategoryid=4 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/43/ 406936.jpg |

For bar end mirrors, CRG's. Awesome quality and fit. A bit on the expensive side... My $.02 Kaveman |

+1 CRG Hindsight LS. Great field of vision and minimal vibration. They're worth the extra cost. |

+1 for Napoleons. The CRG are well made and look great, but are too small. |

CRG Lanesplitters. LOVE them, totally worth the $$ IMO. They have convex glass, which tends to counteract the too small glass. And putting the mirrors on the ends of the bars absolutely does help with the vibration. The only time vibration is an issue with mine is under hard acceleration when the motor is really chuggin along...but I don't need to be looking behind me then anyway! |

Napoleons ! big enough for a good view. (after all thats what mirrors are for )they are more adjustable than the others , you can rotate them out of harms way !and are cost effective . |

They were around $46 when I got them, here are even cheaper. They look great, only cosmetic thing was the nylon ball was ivory not black but its a tiny piece mostly covered, could be painted with a sharpie easily. ZERO vibration. I was amazed the first time I road with them, visibility is AMAZING and crystal clear. They mount right up and look amazing, fold up also. really cant tell that they were so cheap, they look and feel just like I would expect a CRG setup to be. |

+1 for third eye. Dirt cheap and they work. Definitely not as nice as some of the other options, but they get the job done. |

+1 CRG Hindsight LS Expensive, but they are nice. I did have to take them apart once as the screws/nuts were getting loose... some red loctite fixed everything. |

If your bike sees a lot of inner-city riding and lane splitting, then definitely 3rd Eye; If you want whats exactly behind you in the twisties, then the CRG are great - those Joker mirrors look cool though. EZ |

CRG bar end mirrors on Dark Horse bar end sliders. Dark Horse milled a slot into their sliders so that I could mount both.
