anyone use these mirror's? I want feedback on how well they hold up to vibrations and how well you can see out of them! These aren't cheap so i want to see what everyone thinks of them! Pic's of them on your bike would be great! | ||

Bought them sold them a week later. | ||

I was going to get them, until I did some reading here, seemed mostly negative so I saved myself some money and ordered the Aprilia's. Your call though. | ||

How bout a pic? | ||
| Americanmadexb |
Aprilia's.... you get the stock mirrors from American Sport Bike? How do you like those? | ||
| Zatco81 |
Not seeing the Aprilia's on American Sport Bike. What category are they under? | ||

Try the 1125R OEM mirrors, waiting to get my bike back from the shop to put mine on but they seem VERY nice. Plus no need for front turn signals. You can get them at American Sport Bike and they mount up to XBs, gotta jimmy-rig the turn signal path though. | ||

thanks Ramm, i may have to check them out.. I loved my third eye bar ends i got from bike shop a few yrs ago except i always had to adjust the one on the throttle side and they where cheap($20).. i also want to look into these Oberon's. Anybody running these?  | ||
| Bads1 |
If you want bar ends get CRG's They just plain out work great. | ||
| Americanmadexb |
yes i like CRG's, but there just too damn expensive.. My buddy had some and he was shocked when i showed him my $20 pair of Third eyes from the bicycle shop. Problem is they are ugly as hell... Think i may just go to the bike shop tomorrow and get them again. Been riding without mirror's for a year now. | ||

Here's what I did with a set of 851's a while back: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/261369.html The Rizoma heads are just too small for any real view behind. I "hacked" a set of stock HD mirrors for the heads, and got some metric bolts for the stems. I tried a set of CRG's and they are second to none on quality. I didn't like the wide look on the bike though... Kaveman | ||

I got the motodeluxe ones off ebay for around $60 shipped. I have to say that was the best $$ I have spent on my bike yet. They look great; are extremely high quality for the price; and don't vibrate at all, which means you can actually use them, LOL!! | ||

The oberon's are nice. I've had them for a couple years. I should say they make the bike look nice. They really give it a clean look. I Have to admit though that they're not the best mirrors to see out of. They're small and you have to look down to see out of them. I rarely rely on them or any mirror for that matter. I alway turn to look when changing lanes just to make sure. If you're looking for a mirror to give the bike a clean look, I'd recommend them. They're a really high quality mirror. | ||

I used them for two years:  For aggressive riding, they were great because they were exactly where my face was when in turns. They are smaller, but they are lower and wider than stock. They looked great. I flipped mine over because it gave me better visibility and it looked better. | ||

I want feedback on how well they hold up to vibrations ... If you want to make a difference in vibration try Barsnake. I've used it twice and recommend. www.barsnake.com | ||

I bought some second hand CRG's and I coulnd't believe how nice these are. There is little to no vibration. Well worth the money. | ||
| Americanmadexb |
Just got these in the mail.. Only $25 from ebay. If they dont work, i will pony up for the CRG's  | ||

i got 3rd eye plastic bar end from a bicycle shop. it cost $8 and fit in the bar with a little spit and pressure. it doesnt vibrate bad and looks pretty good!  | ||
| Americanmadexb |
Well so far im pleased with the mirrors. I only put the left one on for now to see how it would do with vibrations. It's pretty damn good. Everything tightend down and doesn't move one bit. I will take pic's tomorrow. | ||
| Jakecheez |
for $20, you can't go wrong! you thought the 3rd eye was ugly as hell, huh? ouch...that hurts. i was lookin at joker barend mirrors, but for $100 a peice, ill stick with the 3rd eye. Also, when i dropped my bike, the mirror saved my paint, and it didn't even break!!! it just popped out. $8 to save my paint makes it my favorite mirror, hands down! lookin forward to your pics, tho- | ||
| Americanmadexb |
lol, well i didn't care for how the 3rd eye came straight out, and on the throttle side the mirror always wanted to move when you moved the throttle. Here is a pic i took of the new ones. Im only going for the left side for now. Like i said, i paid $25 for two of these and just sold the right side for $20. lol  | ||

i have some plain jane bar end mirrors and while they look good while rididng they vibrate a whole bunch so hard to see much behind, i like those oberon ones mentiond very much though, thought about trying those many times, maybe when i get some disposable  | ||
| Swordsman |
Aren't those Rizomas the ones that the shafts were breaking from vibration? Something about metal fatigue...? ~SM |
