Handlebar mirrors and vibration...how much vibration

Hey all,

I come to realize that I don't like the stock handlebars and that I actually flip them around because I get a better view due to the convex shape.

I'm thinking about getting bar end mirrors, but I'm curious if I will feel more vibration on my handlebars because of the possibility of removing the bar ends.

I was thinking about getting the ones from SkyKingProducts: (http://skykingproducts.com/Merchant2...e=TR_BON_00_02)

The other option are the ones where it has a short stalk with a mirror.

Any input would be appreciated.

the stock bar ends (really more like cap/covers) weigh as much as a dozen paperclips, they do nothing but look like a bar end.

Bar end mirrors will add some weight to the ends of the bars and reduce vibes, more than the caps the factory put on anyway.
