Looking for a decent set of bar end mirrors

28 Jul 2015 15:39

I recently ordered a set of the stock look alike mirrors online. They looked great but vibrated at idle..lol. When you were moving they were just about useless. I had bar end mirrors on a ZRX that I had and loved them but went with the bike. So I'm looking for people that actually have purchased and use them for the KZ line. I'm aware of all the places to buy them but would like a actual user that could recommend a brand that work good on a KZ.. Thanks

FYI... Bought ones from amazon.. $15.62. They are excellent mirrors.. Look as if they should cost $100 a set. Type bar end mirrors and I believe thru are second ones down on page.

Napoleons' or Halcyons' bar end mirrors. Mines are chrome Napoleons', huge difference compared with stock ones.

Thanks for the heads up, been wanting to change out bars, mirrors and cables so love hearing this! Any chance you could post a pic of yours on the bike?

Thanks,

I read the reviews on the mirrors but I was a bit skeptical to say the least. At the end if the day I thought worse thing is I'm out $16.00 .. Mirrors really are great. No more looking at elbows and shoulders from moose antler mirrors. I have after market bars also and the bar end weights that are part of mirrors definitely took vibrations out.
Thanks for compliments Irish.

Love when you find those gems always makes me smile, and I hear what you mean on the shoulders and elbows. Went for a ride last night with Pops up to Carter Lake and across the dam, first semi-technical ride and was a blast, but everytime I checked the mirrors I had to try and look past my shoulders or elbows and the armor in the jacket just made it worse. I like the more oval or coffin shaped ones but I bet I can find that shape from the same company. Appreciate the heads up because even the stock ones are a bit fuzzy when the inline twin cruises at 5k.... And you're welcome, really is a sweet ride man ;)

Just to throw .02 in.

I was reading this thread just before I got my bike running and discovered that the favorite thing for people to do is get right up behind you and hide behind your arms and shoulders. As a result I found these and ordered them to give them a whirl www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083SL82A?psc...i_detailpage_o02_s00 .
