CRG -- pricey, but the best quality -- ping Al at American Sport Bike Napolean -- good quality, kinda wonky lookin (my opinion), fiar price -- Denny Kirk or any big aftermarket joynt carries these THrid eye or similar from any good bicycle store -- cheap as can be (20 cash dollars american each), and a good way to see if you can live with bar ends not everyone likes em) all will fit -- lots of discussion on this topic in the KV -- me, I"m running CRGs, and won't do anything else -- small, high quality, very useful (I love seeing something other than my own shoulders) |

I second Bomber's recommendation...nice fit, excellent adjustability-top of bar bottom of bar, inside, outside, just a well made mirror-pricey but very nice... |

Here's a couple of inexpensive ones I have tried. They both work equally well, just with different positioning. Third Eye I bought this pair at a local bike shop. This site sells them as well. Reasonable. http://www.rei.com/product/12267003.htm Cat Eye I bought this pair here. http://www.rei.com/product/11196231.htm These have big yellow letters on the backside. These can be installed above the bars as well. Not affiliated with the site in any way, shape or form |

I put a 3rd Eye ($13 at REI) on my throttle side. It makes a nice addition to the stockers because you can aim it directly behind you. I use the stock mirrors for lane changing and the 3rd eye to see behind me in my own lane. I'm thinking I'll get some Rizoma bar ends eventually and replace the factory mirrors altogether.
