YES, YES!!
i have them, and are well worth the $9.99
a little shaky above 60 mph's, but that's all the more reason not to speed

i got them at a local bicycle shop, and can't find them on-line. CAT-EYE company based in japan, that might be why no english web site.
a little shaky, rubs outside of hand if you got big paws like me, no modification other than pulling out bar-end plugs. good product.

Wonder how long it would take my Laverda to shake them into oblivion.

okay, i got the BM-300G ones.
my concern about the BM-500 MTB model is that they would pivot at highway speeds 'cuz the stalks are long (providing more leverage)
i really had to torque down mine to make them stay still.

brumbear, let us know how it works out

I dont prefere bar end's, but the gixxer mirror/blinkers should be standard on all bikes, I plan to get some like that.

I've been running the Cateye 300's for about 3 months- They are great for around town, and local commuting, but at highway speed are near worthless because they are so light- anything above 60..but its simple to put the stock stalks back on for some longer rides.

For 7.99 and bought less than a half block from my house they are excellent, I only run a left handed one- so under 10 bucks total! worth a stop at your local bike shop

I love my bar-end bicycle mirror, I can see everything behind me very clearly, and for $10 it is well worth it. AND it cleans up the lines on the bike, getting rid of the HIDEOUSLY UGLY stock units.

Yes, my Daisy is that shiny, especially after I just gave her a bath.

I like to wash her naughty parts!

edit: On a sunny day, when you play around with different angles you can get that *bling* effect as long as the bike is relatively clean.

It's the chrome kickstand spring that makes the bike!

Thanks for the compliments. I really like the red/silver color scheme...
