Try Austreetfighters (in Qld), they have Oberon bar end mirrors and one or two others Austreetfighters

or Road Rocket (in Melbourne) at Road Rocket

Thanks Legman, appreciate that. I ordered some so I'll try and post a pic when they come. I would have paid the postage nissn1, but would rather buy in Oz if possible and save money too. If you have too much money, either send it here or get yourself an 06 ;-)

We have a set that's waiting for fitment on our bike (among many other things). They sure look cool and they come in a bunch of color combinations. We got black and blue. Top quality and reasonably priced.

Just out of interest...I bought the F3 universal mirrors from Austreetfighters Austreetfighter F3 Mirrors

They look great, but are small and the view is worse than standard. I've learn't to live with them though.

They also weigh about a quarter what the stock ones weigh, and consequently vibrate pretty badly too. Stock mirrors are amazingly heavy!

As seems usual in OZ we get raped as far as cost goes. These mirrors are less than 20 pounds I think in the UK.

All in all, not recommended if you have to have mirrors that work well. If you don't like the extra width involved with bar-end mirrors and consider mirrors mostly a PITA lawful requirement, worth considering.

I've seen a couple of guys with motards as well as another guy on an S3 that had after market bars on their bikes.

At the same time, they installed the "enduro" mirrors. They sit down rather than up. Instead of having the stalks and the mirrors sitting up, they are below the bars which means that you look a little further down. Can't really vouch or say anything about clarity though.

The mirrors attach to the bars before the master cylinder and before the switch block.
