I'm looking at bar end mirrors.

I am NOT interested in Rizoma or CRG... too much $$$ for something that's going to smash the first time i tip the bike over. And besides, they're frikkin' mirrors, they shouldn't cost a fortune.

Anyhoo, I like the design of the Napoleon's, but the size and shape of the mirror puts me off a bit. I like this Ken Sean better (sorry for the size!):



BUT I can't find a lot of info on them. Supposedly the Napoleons are better at dampening vibration. Anyone else have anything to add?

I used them once. Not bad, but had to change the rubber bushing.

Changed it to what? Did it not fit?

The rubber bushing that came with it was too small. I purchased a tie rod bushing from an auto parts shop. I asked the parts guy if I could go thru the suspension bushings and I found one that was slightly larger.
