What bar end mirrors do you guys have/like? I'm looking for function slightly over style.

I vote for the CRG arrows over the motogadgets glassless. In theory the glassless appears to be a good idea, but they scratch easily and the image becomes distorted at speeds due to vibration. The CRG’s have vibration dampening. Plus they are convex, whereas the motoGadgets are flat and have less field of vision.

Standing still, the motogadgets are a work of art and their smaller profile looks amazing on the bike. I wanted to love them, but am much happier with the CRG’s.

Good info!

I have the motogadgets and they certainly are beautiful. Ive used a variety of mirrors over the years but never the CRG's go figure. All of them have vibrated at certain rev ranges. I figured it was sort of just the way things were any time you mounted something to the handlebars.

I will say this about my motogadget mirrors. They're really, really, really beautiful and look amazing. They also mounted up relatively nicely. I will say though that the adapter pieces that go into the handguard are really soft aluminum and quite frankly, the design is shit. Bending aluminum in order to create a friction fit inside of a tube just seems lazy. There are WAY better ways to do this with slant cuts on brass weights that can be used over and over and over again. Eventually, the aluminum will fatigue and give out resulting in a useless bar end adapter.

I might have to try the CRG mirrors on my KTM and then compare the two.

I buy the cheap knock offs on eBay and have been pleased with them, especially considering the price difference. I did lose one once, but at the price I paid, no big deal. I had noticed it was loose and forgot to tighten it.

Hi Guys -- I have been looking for bar end mirrors for my 950 SP and am tossing up between the CRG and Motogadgets. My problem is that I have Ducabike bar end sliders so need to fit the mirrors on the inside of the handguards. Has anyone done this successfully? I can't tell from the manufacturers' websites whether their adaptors will do the job.
Thanks

This might be your best option. I have their other mounts that go on the OEM mirror mounting location and can attest to their quality. This mount is the cleanest option for mounting on the handguard though.

Thanks for the reply -- these look great but I think not enough space with the stock levers. Was planning to change levers anyway so maybe I do that and remeasure.
