Bar end mirror suggestions

Post by spr0k3t »

Thinking of the customization work I'm going to be doing, I'm debating the type of bar end mirrors and wanted to see what others think.

I thought about going with round, but then I thought I would mix it up a little. Either arrow shaped, long rectangle, egg shaped... don't know.

No sure what kind of mirrors you're talking about?

The type of handlebars I'm going to be using are the clubman style. Very popular on the cafe racer type bikes. I'm wanting to ditch the mickey mouse ears (stock mirrors) and go with the type on the bar ends.

Yeah... those are definitely sweet looking. I'm thinking more pushing them off the ends of the bars myself. I do like a slight rise that gives though.

So I decided on the one I like best. Going to go with the CRG Arrow. Looks to have the best positioning options and should work with the headset setup I'm working on.

I love the round ones... just my two cents.
