Looks great Whiskey - how have they been holding up? Are they staying in place well or vibrating excessively? Also: got a link to the specific eBay listing/vendor?

No vibration issues. Mirrors remain useful all the way to the speed limiter. If the mirrors are moving enough to where I can't see what is behind me, then so is the rest of the bike. Allen bolts are easy to tighten down and have not needed to be adjusted since the initial install.

Price went up by $10 because I made them cool. Haha

That's how my bar ends are right now, so that's fine by me! I'm really tempted to get these now. Thaks for the link, and yeah, stop making them so cool k

Put on a pair of BikeMaster Old School. I ordered them from Revzilla and their shipping was super fast. Packaging was Amazon quality and the install on my 2013 was very easy. You need the correct size metric allen wrench, and either an adjustable wrench or a modest set of metric wrenches, (Harbor Freight). Look good, excellent range of adjustments, and remain clear up to at least 50mph. I haven't tested them on the Interstate yet.

Which ones? The old school oval/tube mirrors?

New mirrors/helmet hangers came in. But now I kinda miss the lollipops...

LOL I'm never satisfied!

They look fine, c-breezy, but so do the lollipops.

Yes, in flat black.

Thanks Cormanus. Guess I'll keep them to have three different mirror options!

LoneWoof, I looked back to see what they look like on the CB -

If you can't tell, I'm still obsessing over mirrors. I was putting stuff away in the garage tonight when I got an idea for another way to mount by bar end mirrors:


Since it's wide-angle, I actually see more than stock and more than the pair of after markets I recently put on. I can even see directly behind me, surprisingly enough!

However, this is just version one - I need to find/buy some shorter bolts in order to get it to the way I'm actually picturing it in my head. Just working with what I currently have available, on a Friday night....

Are those the CB1000R mirrors? I just ordered some from hondapartshouse.com.
They look like the same shape - I thought they matched the angularity of the tank and RC fairing better than the CB500 mirrors I had on it.

[c-breezy_imp]

Thanks to you, I now know that they're copies of the CB1000R mirrors! I got them from Hoosier Garage via Amazon. I liked their angularity too so I thought I'd give them a try. I bet they'd look even better on your bike with the RC fairing.
