Many of you have seen my custom belt guards by now and this is something else I've been working on. Keep in mind that this is just a mock up piece fresh off the jet. I am pleased with how it turned out. For the final ones the 3 inch circle will have a welded tab instead off the cut and bent one pictured. The clamp on the bar allows up and down rotation and the tab behind the mirror is also bolted giving you side to side motion so you have full adjustablity of your visibility. My plan is to pick up some 3 inch mirrors and double side tape them to the aluminum disk on the mirror.
Any questions or comments?

I know it's not the comments you were looking for, but I love the paint job on your bodywork!!
The mirrors do look good too. How did you make the brackets? Bandsaw??

Yes, fresh off the water jet.
As far as price goes I haven't a clue. I know there is tons of interest in bar end mirrors on this forum, just do a search for them. I guess lets get some honest opinions as far as what you would pay for a pair. Obviously they can be painted, polished or what ever too.
Also anybody have any good places to pick up some 3inch mirrors? I found a few convex ones already but I would prefer some flat ones. Anybody else have any preference?
Just some close ups.

Maybe make some replacement fairing mount mirrors for Firebolts? I think there might be a market for those as well.

Man, those would look nice on my CR. Its getting pretty old replacing my stockers. They are some of the most delicate pieces I have ever seen. You cant even stare at them without the mirror breaking off the stem.

No, as in different mirrors for the stock mounting positions on the fairing. Or an adapter for Rizoma or other aftermarket mirrors.

Yeah totally read that wrong, I completely missed the word mirror lol. Sometimes I think I'm dyslexic haha.
I guess I never thought about that. Great idea.
