www.rei.com or any good Bicycle shop. 3rd eye bar end. $5.


You'll have to modify them to fit in the end of the Azonic bars cause the hole is smaller.

If I remember correctly, ( always a long shot:-), the Cat's eye mirrors come with two rubber inserts, one fits inside the Azonics just right:-)

CRG bar ends from www.bevelheaven.com I got the 2" for $130 to my door.... I know, I know way more money than the third eye but I ran the third eye's one for around 3 months and I have to say I never have regretted parting with my money for the CRG's it is well worth the money in my book....

Bar End Mirrors are definitely the way to go. It's so much more sporty looking and serves its purpose really well. I got mine thru americansportbike.com. You would need to get the adapters w/ each purchase but it is definitely worth it. Very sturdy and no vibrations. They carry two different kinds. The regular one, and another that has a joint pivot for those of you in tight places.
Good Luck!!!

How about these bar end mirrors from Rizoma? Very well made and don't add too much to the width of the bike either.

You need to have bar ends installed to fit these mirrors. Our web site is experienceing some problems today and it appears that the whole category has disappeared! : ( This will hopefully be fixed by tomorrow (or heads will start rolling) and you will be able to find them in the 'Other' category. If all else fails drop me an e-mail at sales@trojan-horse.co.uk

Price for these mirrors is UK£59.57 each (approx US$104) but they are all billet and luvverly. Bar ends are £10 (US$17.50). Both are available in black, polished or natural aluminium.

The CRGs from American Sportbike, and the bar-end adapters I bought are really first rate. They also arrived with the plugs to seal up the stock mirror fitting. Also came with a friendly conversation about tightening the mirrors in the right way. Good experience all round. IMHO.

I second, uh third the CRG's! Really well made, NOT plastic like the cheap bike mirrors. Do NOT flop over in the wind, and do NOT vibrate at all. DO look cool as hell though. Plus, they are a clamp mount so you can mount them on a bar end, or on the bar itself...up to 7/8's I think. Also, I know one guy who runs one inboard by the pods, and looks back through/under his arm, instead of around. I just installed Renthal Ultra-lows which are an inch wider than stock, so I mounted everything with a 1/2" space on the ends to mount the CRGs. Works and looks awesome. Shoot me a pm if you want to see a pic.

I agree that the CRG mirrors are the way to go, however bevelheaven.com has the best prices I've found...130$ to the door which includes both mirrors and bar end adapters...

has anybody seen a Buell with Barends that used the OEM mirror mount location for mounting extra lighting?

Some small 2" running lights would add some saftey and light output...?

What're you guys using to plug the holes left from the old mirror mounts? I've searched both the Home Depot and Lowes, and they don't have anything that would work and look good at the same time (or they're hiding it really, really well).

The Cat Eye ones will work.
Not the ones like Black_sunshine's, but the one like Tq_freak's. They come with two sets of inserts.

Yea, I had those. I don't like the extra width it adds to the bar end. I was always whacking them around on stuff. Right now, I'm using the old turn around and look method.

I have the same issue as Drift, I don't like the mirrors sticking way out like that. Can you turn the CRGs down like I use my Cat Eye upside down? (complete reverse from what B_S has)
