I've installed Halcyons on both sides. I wanted round mirrors and they were the only round ones I could find. They're chrome and very traditional looking. They might look better if I ever get around to powder coating them black.

I'd rather have just one bar end mirror than try to look around my shoulders through the stock mirrors.

Someone on this forum has posted links to some pretty cool looking Rizoma mirrors.

i also love my crg mirrors! they are not sold as a pair and they are a bit pricey at ~$60.00 each. i think you could get away with just one if you wanted to, but i opted for 2.

cheers, i had a look at the CRG ones, and there the type i want but theres a big difference in price between the Hindsight and the Blindsight. Both look very similar to me, maybe a slightly bigger mirror on the hindsight thats all. Which ones you got? :wink:

Check out the CRG's with aluminum finish at www.bevelheaven.com. I picked one up for the left side and couldn't be happier. Good product - worth every penny, fast delivery as well.

Crudmop- I waited for months for the Rizomas. I was trying to get them through Tricktape. I finally broke down about a month ago and ordered them from Carpimoto in Italy. I was hesitant about ordering overseas because of the outrageous shipping however the total was about $10 less that Tricktape's price because the mirrors were a lot cheaper through Carpimoto.

Carpimoto's site says 10 to 15 days for shipping however I got mine in a week. I got the Reverse in black and love them. They are high quality and I can actually see behind me and not my arms. They also have a slight tint to help with reflection. But most importantly I like how they look.

I guess the US distribution is not a priority for Rizoma. I know a few US dealers stopped carrying them because of this.

Do you have the link for Carpimoto? I'd bet its posted up somewhere on the forums, but <--I'm dumb

Thanks for the info - the reverse black are the ones I'd like as well.

1 question - they look a little thin, as far as mirror height is concerned - how are they for visibility?
