Please help me decide: 'Standard' Mirrors or Bar-ends?

[spindrift]

I've elected to go with new mirrors since I dumped my bike and broke a handguard, and think I've narrowed it down to 2 choices:

A. CRG Arrow (I'd probably only mount one, on the left side)

ARROW Bar End Mirror


B. Seca 8 'sport bike' style ones: (reasonable price, but not crazy like Rizomas)

Seca 8 Composite Mirrors


My issues with the Arrows is that I'm trying to take this opportunity to cut down the width of the bike, and mounting will will leave me w/o nicely symmetric barend caps. And then for the Seca8 style, based on what I read about sportbike style mirrors, will I only get a view of my shoulders? (Another plus on the Secas is that I will install those nice 1# rizoma barends with sliders)

Any thoughts/advice is most welcome.

Here's my CRG arrows mounted with Motovation bar end sliders. There is a removable insert on the bar ends so that you can run just one mirror but remain symmetrical.

Why fix a problem with something that is likely to happen again?
Standard mirrors with proper bar end armour and foldable levers.

On my previous hypermotard I found the KTM superduke mirrors excellent for seeing over my shoulders.

Folded out, are you looking below the handlebars to see behind with them or above?

Went with the arrows in a different way.
