I know several people run the "third eye" bicycle bar end mirrors on their Buells. I wanted to know whats involved in mounting them (XB12S). Do they just pop right in the bar end or is there a trick or part I need to make them fit properly. I don't want the mirror to fall out at speed. Thanks for any help.

Easy as pie!
They come with 3 different size sleeves to accommodate any I.D. bars.
You simply pop the plastic end caps out of your bars, push the mirrors in & tighten the screw.

Go for the $10. ones, I've got a pair on my bike, working fine.

I just drizzled some black paint in the holes, but you can get the plastic plugs from any Jap bike shop if you're Anal.
