Author Message   Jhawk Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 07:41 pm:        I installed the high bar kit and am pleased with the riding position but the stock mirrors are now just blinkers since I can't see rearward. Also the bar end plugs supplied with the kit won't fit even with more than gentle persuasion. Any solutions? Thanks   Nukeblue Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 07:46 pm:        my mirrors were much better after the new bars?? maybe check the alignment marks again. the bar ends are a real bit.. pain! i trimmed the first ring almost flush with the center part. then slid it in and pounded away. it went in much easier. and i figure if i ever needed em in a crash the road would help hold em in even more   Wrong36 Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 07:58 pm:        i had the same problem, i wanted to keep the mirror/signals... check out this thread: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/536311.html i had similar "extending plates" made. awesome.   Bartimus Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 08:38 pm:        they work very well for me, I've been running mine for about 2500 miles now, and am pleased with the results.   Dktechguy112 Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 09:50 pm:        What size are the inside of the highbars? I can't stand the stock mirrors, they vibrate so bad i can't see a reflection, not to mention the only thing they show me are my shoulders. I think i will get those cheap bar end mirrors for $12 and keep the stockers for the turn signals   Jules Posted on Friday, August 20, 2010 - 06:20 am:        I run bar end mirrors on most of my bikes - actually I normally only bother with one on the RHS (I am in the UK so one on the LHS for you would do) - I use the really cheap ones off eBay too and get more visibility with them than stock mirrors. If you do that I'd consider putting some small flush mount bilnkers on the cowl and removing the stock mirrors all together   Jhawk Posted on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 11:10 pm:        Thanks for the suggestions-I'll try the easiest first to see if that works. I can see the bike will be more trouble than a Honda but hey, There is a real Buell community.   Carbonbigfoot Posted on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 11:22 pm:        Stock mirrors didn't work at all for me.... Here's what I did. Bar ends, and some bullet lights in the concaves on the flyscreen. and here's what I would like, but I'm a cheap bastard. Someday....
