TOPIC: Bar-End Mirrors???

Bar-End Mirrors??? 4 years 8 months ago #1

I'm trying to get some feedback on doing something different with the stock mirrors. I know the stock mirrors perform well, but in my opinion, they don't do Mr. Max any justice in the cosmetic department. I was thinking of some smaller, lower profile mirrors or even some bar-end mirrors. What does everyone else think? Any ideas?

I really like the idea of incorporating the front directionals into the mirrors. I'm not a big fan of the way they block the lower intakes. I think that could be pretty cool if the back side of bar end mirrors could be directionals

I looked at it and I really like the idea of all in one. I would like to see a couple of design choices for Mr. Max ;)

I think that I' am gona go this route as soon as I see a couple of choices.

P.S. I would like it to be black, enough chrome for me, with bright LEDs on the back end of the mirrors.

I like the idea also and it would be great cosmetically speaking, but I don't want to diminish the function of the mirrors.

I've got lights/mirrors combined on the MV and all I see is my elbows. I really have to sway my body away to see what's behind me. I wouldn't like that on the Max.

It's always the same with the Mirrors. You have small nice looking Stems and can see anything or you have 1 Yard Lenght Stems for proper Function.

I run Bar End Mirrors on my Max and have the best Look and Function avaialble.

What about something like this?

Or better yet, this!

I think the bar-end mirrors would look pretty trick! I just don't know how functional they would be? Has anyone had any experience with them? I wonder how bad they would vibrate. Whatever mirrors are on the bike it will look great seeing that V-Rod Muscle in them! :P
