I like'em tight...

My bar end mirrors that is... Okay, I have 1 inch bars-I want some bar end mirrors that I can install in a few minutes and will fit tightly...I'm not talking vibration; I mean I don't want any "play" in the mounting when I try to adjust the mirror!!! I'm so frustrated...I can't find anything that is specifically designed to fit a 1 inch bar.

I'm back to using my oval mirrors--and all I get is a great view of my frickin elbows.

Well, I guess I left out a few details...the black napoleans are on back order for --um, too long...and the generic naps are pieces of shiz...I know..I've tried them.

sorry for not giving all the details.

Love my naps. My dealer installed em while fixing my Black. I like the idea of the 3 position settings.
