I'd recommend Vise grips.

Channel locks will pull them right out. I ran Ken Sean black bar ends for a while, they worked good until I put the aluminum motocross bars on I them put a set of small CF mirrors on it.

The ones on my 12R weren't glued it,just sorta stuck in. Get some pliers or channel locks and pull them out, you can probably do it without scratching them...

Use a small flat-blade screwdriver and pry at the inside edge where the plug goes into the handlebar, then you can wiggle it loose. Piece of cake!

Jack...

Found them locally (Kansas City) after locating them via internet and was about to order them. Look at my profile... they are Napoleon. Did a search for "napoleon bar end mirrors" and found them a couple of places. I like them, stable installation, good field of view, and good looking too.

Go to a mountain bike shop and buy one there. I've been running mine for months with no problem. Costs 13.00 dollars. Couldn't see paying 60+ for 1 mirror!!!! Bought mine at R.E.I.
