+2 on the cateyes. I use them on mine, work great, and if they hit the ground, it is only $15 to replace.

I use the 3rd eye mirrors. They cost me about $7.50 each. Available at any bicycle shop, and Amazon. They work great.

Went to my local bicycle shop last night and picked up a third eye bar end mirror. $13 bucks. These are nice because it uses expanding rubber on a threaded rod to grip the inside of the bar. We will see if it holds the test of TIME!

After a year one of my moto delux mirrors vibrated out (with loctite)and the other one's housing weakened causing the mirror to vibrate. it made the most annoying noise while riding.

In order to make the city grips work you would install the mirror 3/4 into the bar and clip onto the rubber portion.

I tend to favor the Third Eye mirrors myself. Not need to go all the way to $7.50 for one when you can always find one at a yard sale for a buck.

Not only do they give you better vision than regular mirrors, but the look cool, and they seem to be able to stand innumerable tip overs.

Here is one mounted on my HVMP bar ends with a homemade L shaped stainless bracket.

A penny saved is a penny earned, am I right my brothers?
