I let the Uly tip over while trailered a few weeks back and it shattered the right side mirror. I'm looking for a bar-end mirror to replace it with and wonder what others have used. I looked at a few at Cycle Gear here in Nashville and the quality seemed awful, very blurry. I might even go so far as to replace both factory mirrors with an aftermarket set if need be. Any suggestions or recommendations will be most appreciated.

Aprilia mirrors are a common upgrade, they aren't barends though.

Bar end mirrors are the first thing to break in a tipover! The Aprilia mirrors are crash tested by me, took about 5 wrecks to finally do them in. : )

I've got 1125CR mirrors on my Uly, love 'em. Not as buzz-free as the Tuonos...but it let me put aux lights where my turn signals used to be, and they stick out further than the lollipops did so I don't see as much shoulder in the image.

Rat... I gather the 1125 mirrors have signal lights in them? Do they attach the same as the Uly's stock mirrors? I like the idea of having aux lights.

Answered my own question...

If you go with the bar-end route, I suggest going with a bicycle variety.
They are cheap and lightweight.

My friend had them on his XB12s... until it tipped over.
