To the guys using the traction grips...are any of you running bar end mirrors?

I installed the grips yesterday and the throttle side is giving me problems. When I put the mirror in all the way the throttle sticks. When I pull it out enough to let the throttle move freely the mirror doesn't have enough of it's post in the clip-on to tighten down.

Is there an extention made for the mirrors or what are you guys doing?

Thanks.

Chop off more of the end, so that the thing sticking out the furthest is the throttle collar (or at least the rigid throttle collar and traction grip are flush). Works fine with the 3rd eye mirrors on my 9sx, and worked fine with the napoleans on my old M2.

I also have traction grips and ebay bar-end mirrors. My throttle sticks just a little bit but only for a few seconds then slowly goes back, but it doesn't really bother me, sorta like a cruise control for a few seconds so I can shake out my hand.

I just shaved the end of the grip off with a strait razor blade. You really can't read the white script on the end of the grip with the mirror in place anyway.

Traction grips + third eye + razor blade.

I wish I had left more of the grip in place, to allow a temporary "throttle lock"
