Looks great! Got any 3/4 and front angles from further away?
New pictures will post once I have installed on my bike. It's the Halcyon 830

Ah! LOL. Glad to be of service! Big Grin
Get them mounted yet Papa Weeley?
...they still haven't arrived yet...ordered on the 10th... Dodgy
Ah ok! I'm eager to see how they'll look with the RC fairing.

Yeah, me, too - LOL.
I am looking to replace my mirrors and I like the look of several of the bar end mirrors I have seen here. I switched to the smaller Honda handlebars which brought the stock mirrors in about an inch on both sides.

It looks like in order to properly mount most of the bar end mirrors I have seen here, I would have to remove the weights that are inside the handlebars. Is that correct? Or am I missing something?

I like to think that they are actually doing some good and that I would notice if I had to remove them.

Thoughts?
I was looking at what c-breezy did and I'm wondering if I just had the bar end weights milled down to make room for the mirror clamp if I could achieve the same thing without needing the washers which would also prevent the overall bar width from increasing some.

I had the bar ends milled down on mine when I mounted my CRG mirrors. It worked perfectly and also gives the nice effect of essentially double damping the mirrors from vibration (assuming the mirror have the glass or pivot rubber mounted of course). I don't have pics, but there is a thread I posted on this a long time ago somewhere. A machine shop did it in a couple hours for me and it was $20 or so.
