Just curious, wonder what everyone is using for mirrors. Ive tries $30 ones off ebay and they are awful. I know crg makes high quality ones but $100 seems a bit crazy

CRG lane splitters.... I used a set of round cheap ones from cycle gear (25.00 each) that don't have as tight of tolerance so a little vibration....

I just put a pair of napoleons on my s1 and they look and function great. Very happy with them. Got a pair of them from American Sportbike for about $70.

I used the cheap ones and yes they suck! But like you did not want to spend a ton on a part that can be broke so easy so I made my own. Piece of small aluminum angle, old parts from cheap bar end mirror and which ever small mirror from the auto parts store you like

I ditto the CRG. I too bought cheap ones and my bike literally shook them off like a dog shaking off fleas. I bit the bullet and bought some CRG from AL at American Sport Bike. pricey, yes, but they are solid and probably worth the extra money in the long run. Unless of course you decide to make your own. Those look tough

That is a great solution!

I like the wide choice of mirrors I could use and at a good price too.

Thanks.

I like stemmed bar end mirrors personally. I picked up a set of oval Ken Sean mirrors off Amazon for around $40 I think and they are very good quality. That company makes several different shapes and styles.

I use some cheap circle ones from amazon for $18. Work pretty well, I don't notice any vibration. If they get messed up then it's only $18.
