new addition

I won these cheap mirrors on ebay and thought I'd give them a try. I think they look pretty cool, but they do vibrate quite a bit way out there on the end of the bars. I also took a an inch off of each side of the bars, while I was at it.

Can you see blue lights behind you?

I like the bar ends much better than stock. I'm sporting a pair very similar to these. Good job TV.

I'm still kinda on the fence about the looks. No question about which are more functional, though.

You know I was on the fence at first as well. They were just different and I didn't know what to think about them. Since then I've really come to like the look. It give a nice low mean look to the bike, clears up the view over the handle bars (just that big sexy headlight in your view as you head down the road) and the view to the rear is great.

Here's mine




and a walk around

They work for me.
