I have been shopping around for mirrors that are not bar end mounted. I saw this pic a while back and liked the mirror but cannot find it online. Can anyone ID the make of the low profile mirror on the bike below? Thanks.

Those are by Rizoma...
A bit pricey, but nice.

Didn't someone just recently have a problem with the posts on the Rizoma's breaking from vibration?

Yup. Polished aluminum, I believe. Trojan sells those too, last I looked.

Actually, I'm surprised Buell hasn't offered chrome body pieces as an option yet. Chromed plastic is pretty common, and relatively low cost.

Yep, SM, that was me. They come with two post. Long and short. They're made out of aluminum and don't like the vibration of the XB.

As for the mirrors themselves, they are marginally adequate to the role. Mostly they just look good. And they do look good.
That being said my broken one will not be replaced. To pricey just for bling.

As FB stated in my thread. Find a nice bolt, cut off the head, shine it up and use that as a post. Course mine lasted about 2 years before giving way to vibration. YMMV.

Yeah, best I can tell. It just fell off one day at about 30mph. Looks like the post just fatigued and snapped. Haven't taken any pics yet. The three vehicles behind me had fun playing kick ball with it.

I actually have a set. I bought some longer metric bolts, cut off the heads and painted them black. That replaced the aluminum ones. I guess if you want silver you could polish the bolts after cutting.
