I'm hard on mirrors. I'm always breaking them, and not just by looking in them. [laugh] I particularly dislike the stock mirrors that came on my Monster and my Multi. I like the mirrors that FAR SpA, Italia  makes for Ducati Performance, but I don't want to pay what Ducati wants for them. In the past I bought a set from a guy in the Netherlands, but that involved a customs fee and declaraton paperwork, and an international wire transfer and fee. So when I found the Moto-science guy selling on eBay, I looked up his website:
http://www.moto-science.com/
He carries quite a selection of FAR mirrors, so if you're looking to buy, try him and let us know how the transaction goes.

I've struggled with mirror choice too. I liked the view of the stock S2R1000 mirrors but not the look. Rabbit ears. Went with CRG lane splitters. Broke my neck and became lame at looking around for traffic. Dangerously so. Had CRG's on the Back in Black Sports 1000 also and never felt comfy with those either. Played with Rizomas on both bikes and passed the CRGs to LYD and Desmolu. Guess what? After some time I came back to CRGs on the BinB and went with Ducati Performance mirrors on the Monster. Don't even ask me about the Tamburini and 999 bikes! [bang] But I damn sure know what my elbows look like!! [laugh]

I put CRGs on the 1098. Good visibility & it really cleans up the fairing.

I have the Dan Kyle bars w/ Kyle bar ends w/ a groove cut specifically for the CRGs.



These LED turn signals are Mucho Nice!
