Default Bar End Mirrors....

Hey guys, I used to run mirrors with the intergrated directional but took them off because I was tired off people bumping them and they were a pain when I squeeze into my garage, so I took them off and run block offs and fell in love with the look. I'm used to not having mirrors now but the only time I miss them is on the highway, I always have the feeling there is a statey right behind me for some reason lol. Anyways, has anyone had experience with bar end mirrors? I found some on Ebay as well as sportbike sites but just want to know if I should bother or not. Thanks & RIDE SAFE! (just had a friend crash pretty bad)

Had them on a few bikes, bar end mirrors, very 60's
You loose a bit of clearance each side, so if you do any lane splitting, be prepared that your loosing the clearance, cos if you whack one of them on another vehicle its going to have a big effect on the steering. On my old bangers, they never really gave a good view on wots going on behind, but better than nothing.

If you gotta "squeeze" into the garage with regular mirrors, then you'll never fit with an extra 6 inches sticking outta each side. Check out the "pig spotters" on ebay.
