I'm wondering if any of you have put bar end mirrors on your bikes and if so which are the best/ most effective?
I should mention that I have woodcraft clip-ons on my EX. The bar dimensions are 7/8" OD and 5/8" ID.
I'm just using CRG bar end mirrors from Amazon. They fit really nicely but the stubs don't really go back on very well so I'm probably going to get another one to make it uniform.
I'll send a picture of what I mean when I get off work.
I have round China bar end mirrors on mine universal for 7/8" .. I think it is a trade-off between looking down to see in the mirror, but I can actually see a lot in the mirrors since they are convex .. (and not just my elbow/shoulder) This is however a downside if you catch some rain because the droplets distort the reflections in a convex mirror .. Also things look further away than they are ..
My experience in LA traffic is that riders with bar end mirrors rarely bother to look down and check for someone coming up behind them. Those with standard mirrors seem to be more aware of what's going on around them.
All I could see with the factory mirrors was my own shoulders. I picked these up at Dime City and I have a clear view of all that's coming up behind me, on the right and the left.
Those ones from Dime City look like my eBay ones. Assuming they're the same and you've got standard bars, they should just bolt in the end. I've done mine without the bar ends but I suppose if you had a long enough bolt they could go on the end of the bar ends.
