Whilst in Berlin last year i saw this Buell parked up, so i took a photo of it. I'm looking for a pair of these mirrors now, they just seem to be right. I like the squareness of it, and the smooth curve of the arm, and the nice simple arm mount. There are thousands on ebay which are vaguely similar, but not quite right. Most of them either go sky high, or have no curve, and go straight to the mirror from the mount.

Anybody know where i can get a pair like this?

im frequently in German though visiting my brother, so if theres a shop there that sells them, thats fine too.

I also like how the mirror is attached at the top, and 'dangles down', rather than being attached in the centre or the bottom of it like normal.

The beauty is in the detail.

Unfortunately, mirrors seem to be the one component they dont sell on that site.

You'll either fork out big money for the ones you really want or you buy something cheaper made in china, but you'll always know they will never look as good as the rizoma mirrors. I have the rizoma rearsets on my xbs and have just lashed out on a rizoma rear pulley, all wonderully engineered stuff but bloody pricey. Ya pays ya money and makes ya choice. :yup:

the quality remains long after the price is forgotten ...


... having said that I could not justify spending that sort of money on a pair of mirrors ! :oooops:
