Does anybody have any feedback about the bar end mirrors that are always on ebay for $40? I had one of my Buell mirrors break so I was looking for a set like this.

most of them are for bicycles, be careful of cheap copies of authentic brands.

These bar end mirrors are awesome quality, and they work.

Recommend Napoleons. They stick way out there plus give panoramic view. You can see straight behind you in both mirrors and out to about 60 degrees to each side. Having read so many rear-end horror stories I have a strong desire to see what's directly behind me, plus what's coming up at me from both sides.

Ditto on the Napoleans, great mirrors, very adjustable arms/mirror heads.

I bought a set not knowing any better and they are plastic bicycle mirrors that can be had for less than $10 a piece.

I have the Napoleans too on my XB12Ss and like them a lot. Also if you have a tight spot to be in you can fold them in and squeeze though. Vision is great as well. Bought mine though American Sports Bike. Here's mine.

I'll second the Napoleans. They are great if you ride every day and want to see what is behind you.
