What he said ... oh, and

bar end mirrors are the way forward. Just fitted a pair onto my xb9 and they are ace, no more vibrating mirrors, and the bike looks so much better

Too wide for me, I'm mostly squeezed between two lines of cars

I agree with Bonzo, put bar end mirrors on and you might as well drive a car.
I had one on my right side and it meant no sliding between rows of cars stuck in traffic jams for fear of leaving a big scratch along each of 'em.
Reverted back to standard mirrors now, not the best but you can get used to them.

As for vibration......it's a Buell!! What were you expecting??!!

All my bikes have bar end mirrors. If you ride in traffic jams, you may as well be in a car.

What's a traffic jam

If your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough.

They're tiny, add in total about another inch or 2 to the width of the bike, I've no problems filtering with them on so far, well I only fitted them on Monday, but have managed to squeeze to front of every queue I've been in.

Bar end mirrors for me too-vibration free at all speeds. Actually add around 3.5 inches per side...... i try to avoid routes that are congested, difficult to 'enjoy' the bike surrounded by cars.


think i saw some on ebay for about £11 from hong kong that are the same. Cheap enough to just try em and see how you go?

A different type of enjoyment.

Yeah, but that's British filtering, it's civilised

Aussie (Brisbane) filtering (or "lane-splitting", as us colonists like to call it) precludes the use of bar-end mirrors, though they are the best for vibration reduction when it comes to bike-mounted mirrors. Lost two bar-end mirrors on the M2 to trucks...

I have to tuck the XB12R mirrors in some days - they are the widest part of the bike.

I used a bug-eye mirror as the final best result when commuting on the M2. Fantastic product, and looked ridiculous/hideous as well, which is an added bonus. Not legal here as a mirror replacement, but very effective, once you get used to it. No vibration at all, and you can change where you're looking behind you by turning your head.

I disagree. You're thinking of motorcycling as a form of entertainment rather than a form of transport. It takes me over half an hour to get home from work by car because of jams and traffic lights. Filtering on a bike it takes 10 minutes. (If I didn't have to stop at traffic lights I could do it in 5 minutes.)

Anyway, even traffic dodging is fun

From memory Aprilia Tuono or KTM mirrors are a straight fit.
