Besides looking great are bar end mirrors functional? I've seen round and rectangular versions and I'm curious if you can see well while using them since the mirror is usually smaller than the stock unit. I would appreciate suggestions, pictures, links, etc. Thanks

Ask yourself if you are tired of looking at your shoulders???

I'm using a mountain bike bar end mirror on mine, looks a lot better than the stock mickey mouse ears. It works great, it's a tear droppish shape and it covers two lanes of traffic behind me, it's got a very slight convex shape, I only need one. Best of all, it was under 12 bucks! No vibration to mention, no complaints, I'll send you a pic and the brand name tomorrow.

Not to beat this any further...

BUT... I still have a set of Napoleon Bar End Mirrors I need to find a home for... they want to live on a Buell and not in the cabinet.

(formerly dasxb9s - still not enough bikes for the number of mirrors I own)

Buellbred...
Barends are a vast improvement over the mousey stockers. Easier to see and less vibration.

try these:

for 13 bones you can't go wrong!
