Has anyone put these on an XB12s? They are very expensive and I wonder how hard they are to install. Anyone have any thoughts about them. They would have to be better than the lolly pops that Buell stuck on there. |

I've seen the Rizoma dynamics on the XB12, and they look pretty damn good. Thinking of buying them myself, but still wincing at the price. You will also need to buy the adaptor which is sold seperately for like $12 for each mirror. |

I really like the circuit 851 from them, and I like both of their bar end mirrors. I could maybe convince myself to buy if the exchange rate wasn't so bad. That extra 50% puts them in unjustifiable territory. I guess I'm going with the aprilia mirrors for now, from American.... |

I have the Aprilia Tuono Mirrors from american sport bike but I don't like the look. They remind me of something I had on an old XS650 Yamaha. I think the model I like is the Dynamic

I have a pair on my Firebolt. They're really nice and well made but my goodness are they expensive. My bike is a rolling Rizoma catalog, I love their stuff.

I love my Dynamics. You need the adapters as previously mentioned. Very easy to install too! pjsparts.com is a great source |

That's where I got mine from. I met PJ & Paige at the Dragon a few years ago, pretty cool folks. |

I had the Rizoma Billet Class Retro Bar End Mirror when I had my XB12S. An excellent mirror, well worth the expense. Very clear and well made. I kept them when I sold the bike and hope to use them on another project one day!

/quote{They are very expensive and I wonder how hard they are to install. Anyone have any thoughts about them. } I've got 'em on my Sporty and I love 'em. They are pricey, but seem to be solidly built. For my application, installation was...well...non-standard. The Rizoma Bar Ends were made for 7/8" handlebars and Harley has 1" bars. I took 7/8" OD copper pipe, pounded it into each side and cut it off with a hacksaw to give me the proper ID for the Rizoma hardware. I added a spacer and some washers on the throttle side to eliminate any drag.

They look so good on a Buell. I've always been jealous of Damnut's rizomas on his bolt. They are a lot of $$$$ but well worth it for the awesome looks. I chose to use the 1125Rs swap but Rizomas might be a possibility one day. |
