I have noticed pictures of people bikes with Bar-End Mirrors. Please remember to plug your mirror holes to avoid trapping water and rusting up your bars. The thread size is 10mm for Buells (I assume all). They are a very tight squeeze. I used a rubber mallet. I have a couple left over if you want to PM me. This is a lot cheaper than buying mirror plugs online.

I'm using anodised screws matching other parts of the handlebar.

These things are called "canti-socket" here in Germany and are for bicycles. One pair for about 9$.
