Just posted this today.. check out ebay.. euro import CRG replicas for like $40 and there are some other models that match rizomas somewhat for similar pricing. Of course you get what you pay for.

I know all about getting what you pay for,,,,and I dont mind shelling outthe money, but I dont wanna do it and have them blasted in the first week,,,with my stock mirrors, I ding em at least twice a week,,,and with the bar end mirrors they will be out there that much further,,,,I am just looking to experiment for now,,,,see if they fit with my riding style and the 5 freeway!

Try Motrax thru Cyclegear. They look great, and the quality is better than their price. I believe $50 for a pair.

Good luck,

CRG has the Lanesplitter fold up model. Even pricier than te regular one they sell but it might work for you.

I also have the Cycle Gear Motrax cheapies and they have been great. They have stayed put over lots of railroad crossings and wheelie attempts. Go for them.

I have Motrax on my supermoto and CRG folding on the triple.

First look, you can't tell the difference, I'm on my 3rd set of Motrax, I have enough spare parts to not need another set for a while.

The Motrax will snap off at every get off, The CRG's fold up with very little damage... crash tested them myself.

For lane splitting I would go for the CRG's, Even though they are more expensive, I find myself folding them out of harms way when neccesary.

I've been eyeing the CRGs. I cant decide between the LSLs or the plain ones. Do you all feel the plain ones are fine? I just think the LSL will eventually loosen an be wobbly at each pivot point
