Those are some nice bikes, thanks for the pics! So what brands would you all recommend? Sounds like the Emgos would be a mistake to buy. I'd like to buy some black mirrors with the rubber ends and make sure they don't vibrate if possible. I tried searching ebay for some M50 mirrors but didn't see any bar-end style.

I don't have any pics of my 1980 750 LTD with these on but I like them a lot. I believe you can find them in black as well.

Napoleon bar ends are very nice. I cheaped our with the Emgo brand and hated them but the Napoleons are great, but 25 dollars a piece.

I have some on my bike and it is clear behind me without any obstruction from my elbows or shoulders. They dont vibrate at all either. I am verry happy with the visibility i have and how they look on the bike. I also took a rozor blade and cut the end off of my grips. Good choice! get em!

those look like emgos, they look very similar to napoleons. i will take a picture of my napoleon tonight. the cheap one will probably vibrate a little bit depending on the style and quality of your handle bars. the emgo were not that bad on my clubmans but what really pissed me off was that after a few weeks they would not really slide well in the ball and socket thing and the metal is so thin on the back that it just flexed all over and would not stay where you put it.

There's a vibration point around 5,000rpm that hits all the ones I've ever owned...
