Looking into ordering the crossroads 0% bars for my City... Question? will the stock mirrors still function decently after going this route? I want to keep my hand guards not sure its possible too do and have the little side mirrors... |

You're gonna have to search for this one. There was a thread where a couple guys had Crossroads, handguards AND barend mirrors. They drilled a hole through the sides of the handguards & installed the mirrors directly to the guards rather than to the handlebars. |

I've got a good solution worked out for those that want CRG bar ends AND handguards. I had some spacers machined and have the right bolts/washers to replace the ones that come with the CRG bar ends. This allows the hand guards to clip on just like they do on the OEM plastic end caps, easily unsnapped without loosening the HW, no other modifications necessary, works with the 5571 CRG bar end adapters. I'll have them up on the web site this weekend, $5.95 for the HW for both L+R, #9252

Well that settles that. I've been on the fence concerning bar end mirrors but I think come Spring I'll be getting me a set those. Thanks for that post Al, once again you amaze me (Message edited by metalstorm on November 17, 2006) |

Jeez, guys, it's just a spacer and some washers... But it works well and is cheap enough. It's on the web now, see 9252 here. |

They just wanted to give you a pat on the back for reacting to a shortcoming in the aftermarket. Not everyone can fab their own spacers and parts in their garage/shop. It's appreciated.
Kind of like when you got after corbin to redesign mounts for the firebolt seats, and took care of your customers after the fact. I know I appreciate what you do, and so do others. When my cash flow improves there are more parts I'm going to be ordering from you. I hope you're patient |
