I've seen them but not used them. I do have bar end mirrors though, and wouldn't have any other. |

I have the Oberons and they are the highest quality around. They ship pretty fast from Britain and look great.} |

I have the ones that clip onto the bar and then also purchased there barend weights. The mirrors are rock solid (no vibration) and the felt vibration is far less then stock.} |

I'm contemplating barends or the long stalk mirrors for my Firebolt. Which do you think would be the better? |

Have never been to that market, but I know which one you are talking about. I will have to try it. I also bought my Ss from Ocean, they are OK but service on the Buells is questionable. |

I can't picture in my mind what a fairing bike would look like with bar enders I like the look of the fairing mirrors post a pic when you decide please |

In my opinion, this looks better than this PLUS, I can see more in that one small mirror than I could see in BOTH of those stock mirrors. |

I was looking into getting the bar end mirrors. But how would you clean up the area from where the stock mirrors are pulled from? |

I have the Oberon bar ends installed on my bike. I think they really clean up the look of the bike. I have to admit though, the mirror itself is small and isn't the easiest thing to see out of. I always glance over my shoulder when changing lanes anyway just to be safe. |

I have a set of the oberons that I will sell you. They look great, but are two small to see out of. Plus it is a bitch to get them adjusted. |

I guess that wasn't the best sales pitch huh? |

2 on the ebay specials. mine are rock solid. they stay where in place and don't vibrate. And when your bike gets knocked over in the parking lot by some dingleberry in a golf cart, it is only 40 buck for a new set! |

Treadmarks, Where did you get the air box cover? |

HotDog, The air box cover came from Matt at Trojan. It is called the Compo-Tech race air box. It took quite a bit of mods to make it work with frame pucks, and I have not yet found a way to keep the rain out.

I used a Napolean knockoff on my Buell and on a cafe racer Honda and have been real happy with stability and view. They can adjust for any angle above or below the bar. |

I just have the one mirror on the left side, and it's a plastic one from Jax Bicycle shop. It was about $12.00 and it works great. I've seen a lot of really nice billet mirrors out there, but this one works so well I just can't see shelling out $80 a piece for "nicer" ones. Thanks, by the way. |

Oberon mirrors are great!! Quality is second to none and no vibration. They take a few days to get here from England but they are worth the wait.} |
