Default Handlebar mirrors

I keep seeing those mirrors that hook onto the handlebars. I wanna get rid of the ones on the fairing and use that style. I think it looks slick, but I'm wondering if I have to remove the handlebar weights. Do you get lots of vibration? Any other problems with using them?

the best ones imo are the CRG mirrors (easy to install, no vibration) .. many people like'em ... but when I tried different ones personally I found them useless because the location of the mirrors is not natural. Try looking at your thumb while you're riding to see what's behind you to see what I'm talking about. If aesthetics are more important to you, you may like it, but if functionality/safety is more of a concern you may not.

I was wondering if you could actually see anyting out of them. I know the handlebar mirrors on the Ducati Hypermotard are getting bashed by the press because you can't see out of them. Guess I'll have to try them and see...or not see...whichever the case may be.

Rizoma makes some incredible looking mirrors. (though, I'm not a huge fan of handlebar mirrors.) Looks too "cruiser-ish" for me.

I'm not sure if you could adapt them to mount on the handebars, but these are my favorites.........

Those Mirrors are sharp. I also like the Turn Signal Lights. I would like to get the European Style turns.
