Nice, I don't remember, did it have any type of windscreen before?

RACER X · 10-03-2012, 12:03 AM

I added that clear piece, laminar lip, nice product? Deflects the air up higher.

Nice. Are the bar-end mirrors stock? How do you like them?

I dropped my Suzuki in the rain last weekend and broke the stock mirror on the right side. I never realized how much I use the right mirror on the ride home. I took a bar-end mirror off my bicycle and mounted it. I rode today but did not like it because I had to move my head to glance at the mirror, instead of just shifting my eyes.

Figured that, didn't know if it replaced a smaller screen or something.
Functionality win!

I like your CRG Arrows, but I need a bigger and higher mirror. Here I have the stock mirror on the right and the bar-end mirror on the left. The stock convex mirror is vibration-free, but gives me a partial view of my shoulder. The bar-end gives a nice view to the rear, but vibrates severely. I could make a rubber mount, but the bar-end has a flat mirror, unlike the stock mirror and your CRG Arrow which are convex. The convex shows what's behind me and what's next to me. I am going to order long-stem, convex mirrors from ebay and see if they vibrate.

It was 80 degrees on Lookout Mt today, but a cold front is coming in tonight and snow this weekend. The red in the headlight is a reflection of my red mesh jacket. The chrome things hanging below the turnsignals are loud, Stebel horns I put on thirty years ago. The mesh cover on the left one broke off. The brake fluid is purple because it's silicone.

honestly your OE mirror are prob. better in that your old skool bike prob. has wide mirrors. current bikes most people can't see over their shoulders or elbows w/ current day OE mirrors. so i got these. they are nice, no vibes good field of view. BUT i still have to dip my head to see thru them.

aprilia even made a cover that replaces the OE mirror screw in part vs a hole w/ threads or putting a screw in it, $30 ea, lol, yes i got them too.
