the all-in-one, superfantastic bar end MIRROR thread!

Which one do you use? Where did you get it and how much? Does it actually work as a mirror, or does it just look cool? Also, any pics???

I have the knock-off CRG's from D2Moto. They're cheap -- around $20 for the pair -- but they suck. It gives you a nice shaky view of your knee or the moon a few minutes after it shakes itself into a different position.

Here it is on my bike;

CRG hindsight LS. Think I got them from CA Cycleworks, but they sell them, regardless. $76 for the lane splitters. Doesn't move or rattle. They do fold in per design which has saved it from breaking twice.

They also sell a plug for the end of your bar that the mirror can mount onto which means you don't have to move your controls to make room for the mirror clamp.

CRG (any model)

~$200 for both...and worth it.

They work better than any mirrors out there.

Thread over.

I have the Rizoma Class Retro's. Got them from PJ's and have always found them very good to work with. They were initially bigger on the bike than I thought they would be but the view is really good and it's also very steady through all the rev's. I think they're around $120 ea (I know it's high but they're very solid), however I did also have to buy the bar end adapters to fit them onto ($35pr).

I've also got the Rizoma Class Retro mirrors. With the Rizoma grips, there's room for the mirrors to be mounted to the bar itself. They're rock solid and (almost) never need readjusting.

I've got the CRG's, one was bought normal, then upgraded to LS, the other bought was an LS to begin with.

Great mirrors. I hate that they are in the way of my hands though - always pushing in on my outside edge. I've got mine on the CycleCat bar sliders, so they aren't on the actual bar, but on the bar end. I'll eventually find some other mirrors that mount in the middle.

They don't rattle or shake, they can take a crashing and keep on working fine.

Bar End Slider/Mirror Kit

You can mount them on bar end turn signals as well:

Does anyone have any experience with teh Obeon Streetfighters? They seem to be the last expensive of the brand name jobbies....

Also, has anyone used the Triumph ripoff of the Rizomas?

Great shot of your bike.

I use a brand called Mirrycle. They're about $12.00 a piece at the bicycle parts store. They work and look great.

cduarte · September 01, 2009, 05:19:09 PM

my bike came with a 2" CRG dental mirror which I really didn't care for, I took it off and put napoleons on both ends, I love them, they work well, have great glass and cost about $40 each.

I just looked these up and wonder how you mounted them?
