These mirrors look very cool, but how is the view?

You're going to have to be more specific, Rizoma makes a bunch of different mirrors.

I have these on my Thrux. Its a major drop in your field of view. Im used to them now but in the begining it was a little awkward.

You have to move your head around a lot more to get the same field of view that the stock mickey mouse ears gave you.

I assume this is true of any barend mirror (it was certainly true of the Napolean I had mounted before the Rizomas). The pro to a barend is that there's no elbow obstruction to the view behind.

Thanks, Surferjo. That's exactly what I was looking for. I guess all mirrors are somewhat of a trade off. For me, the stock mirrors worked well, but look like *****. The CRGs I currently have work well, but I don't like having to turn my head so much to see what's going on.

Sounds like the Rizomas would also be a trade off.

Have had the Rizoma Reverse bar ends on for a couple of months and I really love them. while they have a smaller surface area than stock, I see more of the road and less of me than with the stock mirrors. Might take a while to get them positioned exactly like you want them, but they are pretty easy to adjust.

Couldn't be any worse than the stock mirrors. Pop was a wrestler. I got wide shoulders. That's all I see in my mirrors no matter where I adjust them.

curefan, I am interested in your CRGs if you are selling.

Curefan - If I see you at BITBR - you try out my Rizomas to see the veiw. JCW
