Author Message   Trusty748 Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 10:47 am:        Hi I pick up my Buell in five days..... XB9S demo in yellow, already has factory racekit fitted. BUT - I've got to do something about those Mickey Mouse mirrors.... Can anyone share info on good replacements - bar end or otherwise? Something with some style befitting the bike would be good!   Glitch Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 11:05 am:        I've got Third Eye mirrors. And I love 'em.   Trusty748 Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 11:13 am:        Cheers Glitch - they look smart. Visibility pretty good? Did you source them from a website or somewhere local?   Glitch Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 11:31 am:        I bought them from a fellow BadWeBber, Scully. The visibility is better than the Mickey Mouse ears. Less vibration, and I don't see my arms in them, I see behind me. If you do a Google search for Third Eye Mirrors, you'll find 'em, they run about $10 each... Some of our sponsors sell other brands of bar ends as well...   Signguy Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 06:43 pm:        I bought a brand new pair of Third Eye mirrors off someone on Ebay 3 weeks ago - $9.50 shipped for both! I wasn't sure if I'd like the mirrors being positioned so low so I wanted to try these cheapies before spending the $$$ on the CRG mirrors. After a few rides I am used to them and I like them very much. I'm just going to keep using these and save my money. The CRG's look nicer but when I'm riding I can't see the back side of the mirror anyway.   Brucelee Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 07:49 pm:        I just ordered these Third Eye mirrors. Are they difficult to install?? Any tips will be appreciated as I am not all that handy with a wrench! Thanks   Signguy Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 08:25 pm:        Very easy. No wrenches required.   Chaser Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 08:51 pm:        My fav on my old blast Napoleon Bar End Mirrors http://store.sporttwin.com/product_info.php?products_id=67&osCsid=cf478d9f0339e6 4f896af30f0049dfcd   Dynarider Posted on Monday, October 06, 2003 - 08:58 pm:        I dont care for the napoleans. Mav has a pair on his X1 & when I rode it with my gloves on I had no clearance between my hand & the bottom of the mirrors. I guess if you have small hands they would be ok. I prefer my CRG bar end mirrors. Pricey but damn well worth it.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 09:53 am:        Brucelee: It's a simple as slippin' it in and twistin' it 'round...
