Previous owner put these bar ends on. They don't do much good. The position isn't good unless you let go while riding and the wind pushes them back.

Any suggestions on better ones??

swap sides. So they stick above bars instead of under.

I was gonna say... 'They're upside down'. Unless you hang under the bars when you ride.
Mine are basically the same thing and they are perfect. It's a slight 'look' to the side but it's a clear picture with no elbows in it.

I have the exact same mirrors.

Check out the position of my mirrors here:

They work really well and I can see around my elbows.

I was actually thinking about grinding away some of the area above where the ball is clamped so I can swing the mirror straight up and won't stick out as far.

Some of the napoleon mirrors look pretty cool too though

I thought they were a little goofy. Only bad thing is I only have the one on the left bar. So it's time to get new ones. Any suggestions?

Blaylock, where did you get yours?

Thanks guys!

Got mine at Cycle Gear. They had a sale and got them for only $30.

EDIT:
After watching TRON: Legacy, the Napoleon mirrors on Sam Flynn's Ducati seemed to have stuck on me, I might get a pair later on

Try rotating the vertical part 180deg so that it's sticking up with the mirror coming down from it. It'll put the mirror basically centered with the bar.
I use that position with mine. It looks good and gives a pretty good view.
