The ones you don't like will be invisible when the mirror is mounted.

okay thanks for the fast reply!

The Rizomas are Bar ends, they aren't designed to accommodate a mirror.

I guess you could clamp the mirror on the Rizoma, but you can't see it.

thanks for the picture. I was thinking the same maybe I could clamp the crg mirrorsto the rizoma (I like the gold ones) but I think they are to thick and wont grasp on

Give it a shot and let folks know.

I'm pretty sure the rizomas are about as big around as the grips (bigger around than the bars).

You can also drill new holes or knock the pins off the inside of your plastic thumb control things (that cling on the bar) and move the whole shebang inboard.  the CRGs will clamp directly to the bar if you can make the space.  then you can still run the rizoma bar ends for the bling factor.

Have you done this? Pics please.

I haven't been set up that way for long time.  I've been through several iterations of bar-end mirrors, and I didn't really get into taking pictures of my bike until this year.

I dropped my bike hard enough to bend the bars within the first week, and when I put the rizoma bars on I wasn't comfortable drilling the control holes, so on the advice of some, I knocked those little nubbins off. 

The controls stay put, but if they don't, you can wrap electrical tape around the bar.

I do still have the rizoma bar ends that are similar in design to the OPs.  The ones I have are about the same diameter as the grips.

If you really want, I can demonstrate later today what I am talking about. it's a 5 minute adjustment.

[lillo]

yeah sure why not... i am new to this kind of stuff. Thanks
