Aftermarket mirrors?

[rsm688]

Okay for those of you that have swapped the factory goofy round mirrors for something a little more aesthetically pleasing? Could you post up pictures of your new mirrors, and also if you rememember where you got them and how much they were. Looking for something to swap on in place of my factory xb9s mirrors


Thanks,
Spencer

I just installed CRG Hindsight mirrors today. They were purchased from American Sportbike.

you can mount the mirrors either as pictured or on the ends, ebay for like 15 bucks...work great, great visibility

I had CRG's before and didn't like the width or having to look so far down to see behind me. They did give me a great field of vision though. I swapped out for some Rizoma knock-offs from ebay. Aside from having to grind down the bolts to fit, they were no hassle to install and set. I think they look great and have been extremely happy with them.

Google "Aprilia Tuono mirrors".

Thanks for the pics Enemy Zero, those are exactly what I have been thinking about too. I currently have bar ends and dislike how wide they make the bike (doesn't help that I have clip-ons too). It makes it difficult parking next to the car in the garage.

Have you had any problems with them fading? My bar ends were originally black but faded to gold, I have to park outside at work.

have had them on since May and haven't had any issues. I park in a garage at home and at work though so luckily it hasn't had any of the ill effects of the harsh Las Vegas sun. They've been great so far and the blue tint of the glass (polished plastic) really help with the glare at night.

s0dhl, do you have a link to where you got your levers or any info on them? I want that color combo but all I can find is shorty levers and prefer the feel and leverage of the regular ones.

I think I have someone interested in the bar ends already, but you may like the other ones.

Enemy Zero, below is the link to the place I got them from. There are a lot of colour combos available as well.

Ebay 25.00 They can be folded out.

Or, skip the rear view mirrors all together and get this.

Will these fit 09 xb9?

Read the review. Who cares if they would fit? Not trying to be smart ass at all but whatever you decide to do review review review. I always review whether its a big tv purchase, oil for the bikes or even places to eat or stay. Trip advisor is our best friend, LOL.

 

[WayneBrettzky]

Yeah, I read it, I laughed. Like any product, there is bound to be some errors.. especially a $20 dollar product.

 

[thrstrmech]

they'll fit...10mm is the right size adapter, but you may run into the same issue as I did. they are too short and you really won't see much behind you, had these on mine awhile back and got rid of them...

Enemy Zero... how is the visibility right behind you?

I picked up a pair of mirrors from Kiwav and while I like the look on the bike, the visibility is horrible.

Can't see anything that is right behind me, huge blind spot.

Is that the nature of the beast? Cool look but shitty visibility?

Also, why did you have to grind down the bolts?

Thanks.

Sext9 - I can't find those mirrors on eBay. Do you remember who made them? Exactly the kind I want for mine.

Here you go!
