Mirror dilema

I like the Rizoma mirrors and found them cheap but I have no bar left to clamp them on so I'm looking for sliders that have a groove cut in them to clamp them onto.  Here's what I found:

http://www.desmoworks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_383&products_id=395

Will this combination work?  I seem to keep getting a sketchy answer from Desmoworks.

Thanks.

We have some of the rhinomoto bar ends.  They are nice and solid, and should work.  Just need to order the right diameter to match the bar ID.

you ride with mirrors?   :P  i like the one's you're looking at though.

i wanted to do napoleons on mine, but the diameter of the stock magura bars are too narrow at the end.  so i just removed the stockers and have been riding like that since.  i like CRG, and rizoma...but didn't want to fork out that much cash right now for mirrors that would essentially be more about looks than function.  i mean, if i really wanted function, i would just put the stock mirrors back on.  i wonder if no mirrors is legal....i'm thinking it's not?  paging richd...

Elizabeth has the Napoleons and what I did is take the stock components (two brass pieces and screw) and switched the rubber casing on the Napoleons.  Try that, it works and she rode 100 miles Sunday with no problems.

The larger CRGs are the best mirrors I have ever seen.  Better than the stockers on any bike I've been on (ok, its a short list).  The convex view is good enough I could see just riding with one.  You can actually see what is beside, and behind you, with little to no vibration, even on a Buell!
