I have those on my bike, very happy with them. I have clamped them around the bars rather than use the bar end inserts. Pretty sure I paid about half that price, though.

When you filter in traffic ... they are like cats whiskers ...


when they get knocked off ... things are getting close ...


Popular with some ... but I don't like them ...

I've a nice set from a nz dealer. Vibe free and very clear. The only issue with good bar end ones is the glass is slighlty convex to give a large viewing area and this makes things appear a lot further away then they are. I always do a shoulder check when pulling out to avoid getting caught out.

Bar End Mirrors are great for seeing more than just your own shoulders :lol:

ME: I got some arm extenders :yes:

You have traffic out your way?!

I have these on my hyobag after snapping a stem on the stock mirror, and been to tight to fork out for a new hyo replacement part, Excellent for actually seeing behind you, not so good when your a mad cunt and need to merge like a zipper in a hell of a hurry and need to look down and away from the road to look into your little fish eye mirror haha.

Also, I would not recommend splitting..

Here they go I remembered. Great seller to deal with too.


They are a quality unit - some of those cheap-o ones on e-bay etc are crap - vibrate and the glass falls out.

Yus, one on the right, which of course is the one that always gets broken.

We have some RockSolid brand units that have a very neat folding trick. They fold upwards and in for lane splitting in a manner that still allows you to see behind you. Some of the lane splitter mirrors fold towards you which means you can no longer see behind you.
