Anyone tried a set on Uly's?? Got a set for $15 of CL; figured if they work, great, if not.....oh well. can't beat $15! Will give them a try on my day off (if I get one).

Don't have a pic handy, but I pulled the Aprillia mirrors and installed 3" bar ends. Been riding them for the last 1k and really like the visibility to the rear and sides.

I have a set of 3" bar end mirrors from American Sport Bike - they fold in, not the cheapest however ($85each), I like the folding feature and great visibility. The other great feature that is nice is the glass is can be replaced by removing a small screw for about $10 (not from American Sport Bike)

i heard a lot of people raving about the napoleans... i bought a pair used for my x-1 and they were junk quality and wouldnt take the vibration from the motor without losing adjustment.....

i heard so much raving about them that i bought a new set... guess what, they were new junk...
but thats just my opinion, maybe my riding style was too hard on them..

I've got the Napoleon Bar ends on my Uly, I love that I can see past my shoulders with them and that they are easy to fold in and out with out losing adjustment. They do get a little buzzy but they have always been good enough for me. I'm sure that I have a pic, I'll try to post it later.
