Having had good success with bar end mirrors on my XBS, I'm hoping to find something with a similar look for my Uly. So a couple of things:

1) How do the bar end mirrors look on a Uly? Any pics to share? I haven't really been able to find any, aside from a couple of closeups on americansportbike.com (ASB)
2) Is there an easy mod to make bar end mirrors fit, with the hand guards, or do I need to spend serious coin on a bunch of adapters (ala ASB)?
3) What sort of stalk-style mirror options are there beyond the stock and Aprilla Tuono? I'm looking for something low profile and minimalist.

Thanks for the input guys.

Not exactly minimalist, but this is what I run, 1125cr mirrors

I was trying to answer the same question on my BMW G650x. A couple of the brand-name handguard manufacturers have begun selling mirrors kits that tuck in behind the guards. Unfortunately, I don't like the appearance of their guards, the mirrors seemed flimsy, and the all-in costs of ~$200 are more than I am prepared to spend.

My solution was to grab a set of $40 handguards, a pair of $20 bar end mirrors, and fabricate a little aluminium bracket myself.

I chose the mirrors based on their sturdiness, their good optics, and their small size. They are slightly convex so they give the same field of view as a larger mirror, but they don't make it too difficult to pick out objects in the far background. I just disassembled them and discarded the bits I didn't need.

Wow - very creative go cytosis. Looks easy enough...CRs definitely an option too - I do like the integrated signals.

I'd love some other options too if anyone has something to offer.
 
I'm running Zeta handguards with a set of bar end folding mirrors. I had to get a longer screw due to the extra width of the mirrors, and slightly bend the zeta guards to fit, but it works well.
