$112 dollar mirror solution
So, riding in traffic with the stock mirrors has been making me crazy. I have to move my head to see, the bike is a foot wider, making lanesplitting harder.
So I just installed a pair of KTM Superduke mirror from KTMtwins.com; $27/ea plus $9 ea for an adapter. $20 ea for Moose mirror adapters...
...adapters and attractive effective mirrors for less than the Rizoma mirror mounts alone...
...yes, I'm cheap.

This is a common upgrade. I believe 08Hyper did the same mod and he is stoked about it from what I can tell.

10-4, Good buddy,  same set-up as mine, I feel the mirrors are "disposable" items, so the cheaper the better, (as long as they work) so at $27 a wack, I can afford to play tag with a stupid cage driver now and then.  Aloha Alex

I'm still making up my mind over the standard mirrors, I like the visibility but I always seem to be dicking around with them, I just get them right and I have to fold them in to lane split. Your solution looks good but can someone tell me what the unused plug on the levers are for? I just assumed they were where the "normal" mirrors go
