| Thanks to "WRXer" (and some ebay seller) the parts fairy left me a couple presents on the doorstep today! Tag Metals XT-1 Bars Tag Metals OS clamps ...and some knock-off bar-end mirrors. I finished my Calc and Chem homework a bit earlier than I expected So I opened the boxes like a kid on present day! Went to the garage, turned on some Buffett, and installed the parts! Before; After; I am effing amazed at the field of view these mirrors give. I have about a 45* fan on each side. Better than any other mirror I have ever had. | |

| Wow that was fast! How did you handle the riser/clamp nut on the throttle side? I ended up removing the top triple clamp to get it. Looks good. | |

Very simple... straighten the wheel, standard depth 16mm socket on a 12" wobbler extension. No issues at all. | |

| Same size as my UFO's, only mine are closer into the tank, so they won't hit the ground when my bike falls asleep. Nicely done! The mirrors are great with an awesome FOV. _________________ A wolf's voice echoed down the mountain 'Share the bounty of the hunt with your brothers and sisters, and forever be strong and free.' | |

| They are all metal construction (although a bit on the cheepie side, these are NO CRG's) but work well. The only plastic is the ball at the end of the mirror arm where it contacts the clamp. I actually like this, as it allows the clamp to really get a "bite" on the ball to prevent movement. First ride was to class today, and WOW, I doubt I will ever go back to stairing at my elbows when I ride!
$17.94 shipped for the pair. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230487868587&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT
Seller also has them in silver, and fake CF. I went with black to better blend with the bike. | |

| those are the correct ones.
the mirrors will fit any bar that is of a "standard" diameter. My tag bars are 1-1/8" but taper down for the ends. | |

| I have similar mirrors, but its very uncomfortable to look down every time. Now i'am looking for alternative. May be i'll find stock, because i bought my bike without mirrors. | |
