Title: Reccomend good bar end mirrors?
Post by built2last66 on 11/08/11 at 12:05:59

Can anyone recommend any good ones, that would possibly go with KURYAKYN 6345 ISO grips?

I'm looking at these cheap ones at the moment:

I like mine... with most B.E. mirrors,.. you'll have to rig spacers for 1" bars...

I need clamp-on mirrors for the bar ends, because ends of the clip-ons already have turn signals in them like these:

Got any suggestions?

Gyrobob, is there any room to pull those signals out enough to clamp the standard BE mirrors around the post? Also, maybe you could tap/drill the signal somewhere and screw in a BE mirror to it...

I suspect the first ones are plastic, which means they'll vibrate so much they'll be useless.

My understanding is that you slide the grips up the clip-ons maybe 1/2" to make room for the mirrors to clamp on the the outside of the bars. Clamp-on the clip-on, eh?

I want to use the bar end signals stuck into the outer ends of the clip-ons. Sorry, it's a just a thing I feel that goes with the late 1950s flavor of the thing,.. (like the Avon Speedmaster tires)

Spacer goes inside the bar tube...
PS,... if you have stock bars, you can't use them, because the bars have welded in plugs/weights...
(forgot to mention that earlier...
Guess you'd have to use clamp-on type with stock bars)... :-?...
