I always liked my stock mirrors.  They looked great IMO and while a lot of people will laugh at that I have been true to what I liked.  Sadly after installing the MA005 Rizoma handlebar the stock mirrors now have an angle to them that is not at all sleek or attractive.   Sigh, back tot he catalogs....

Rizoma makes a ton of classy alternatives. God their billet is sooo tasty...

Rizoma "Radial" might be a good replacement for the stock.

 Go with a set of rizoma spy-r 80, bar end mirrors. I used to hate the look of bar ends, but these are typical beautiful rizoma style and offer excellent visibility.

I have those exact Rizoma mirrors on my M1100.  I like 'em a lot.  Beautifully made, zero vibes and IMO look great too  [thumbsup]

Although unless you tuck in all you see is elbow.

Best mirrors I ever had from the point of view of seeing where you've been were Rizoma Class Retros.

No vibes?  You can actually see out of them?  I like the look of the Rizoma radials a lot.  For some reason I don't like the look of the bar ends mirrors much.  Add to that I had Oberon bar end signals and the bars get pretty wide after the adapters.  Living in California it is nice to have a narrow bike.  [thumbsup]

I also like these and they are almost $150.00 less money.  Anyone tried em?

Had something similar to those on one of my old bikes.  VERY small viewing area.  Replaced them pretty quickly.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

You bet!  Did not hurt so bad as I had a credit from the Ducabike Slave sitting there.  Jeff at MP is a good guy ( :

  Rizoma mirrors look good and don't vibrate, but they mount more narrow than stock mirrors. I have a like new set of beautiful "linea" mirrors that I can't see anything but my elbows with.

I am thinking that seeing my elbows will seem normal,  I only use them when at a light or trying to figure out what kind of grill is on the car behind me anyway.   [Dolph]
