Alright so I have the CRG Arrow bar end mirrors, which I love.  Only problem is the pinch bolt that holds it on the bar end adaptor is wearing holes in my right hand glove from being on/off the throttle.  Anyone have a suggestion for a different (possibly weighted) bar end that will let me keep these mirrors? Maybe just move the mirror clamp out 1/2" or so so my glove doesnt rub on it? ???

Check out the Motovations bar ends. They are weighted and will push your mirrors out just enough I bet. That's what I am running without problems.

Just took a look...those look like they will put the mirrors exactly where I have them, they just have a slider out on the end.

CRG:



Looks to position the clamp in the same spot...the search is on!

I have an S4 which has solid bars which meant the CRG adapters wouldn't fit.  I found the RhinoMoto adapters/sliders an easy solution and I'm happy with them.  They're not weighted but they might give you a little more room on the end of your bar:

the rhinos are steel-bodied so they are a little heavier than the various alum ones.
you will need the flat shaped slider to fit with the CRG Arrows
