you should consider the bar-end mirrors.  the stockers shake too much to be effective, at least for my Monster's that's been the case.

+1.   You don't need to know the year/submodel/driver's hair color with motorcycle mirrors, just need to know if there is, in fact, a car there, and if it has its blue lights on.

Did someone named Jason have fun today?

[system error]

well, I guess 
That was insane fun.  I can't believe I've waited this long to get a bike.  Great group of people.

If u have any questions or need something just ask!

"insane fun". You picked a great way to start [moto]

I still want to replace those mirrors.  I had them dialed in about half way through but a slight bump and they are worthless again.  If anyone has some stock 695 mirrors that would fit an 08 model I'd be happy to buy them off you.

Thanks.

U can have mine via trade. yours for my stock ones. first you can use my stock ones and make sure that is the route you want to go.

crg bar ends or rizoma bar ends are quite functional. and look nice

It does help to know if the drivers around have crack pipes in their hands, 

or even worse, if they are texting

Fair enough. I've removed my horn on the 900 so now I have a free bush button electric circuit... What to do, what to do....

Did I tell y'all a witnessed a dude on an HD bagger field a call on his cell while riding?  He almost killed himself when he tried to get it back in its hip holster.   

Back to the lecture at hand: Yeah, bar end mirrors work surprisingly well.
