Bar end mirrors
Hey Dale,
I picked up a set of bar-end mirrors from my dealer. I'm not overly happy with these, because they are not easily adjustable. The are fastened to the bars with the same screw that's holding the bar-end weights on, so the only way to adjust the vertical pitch is to loosen that screw, set the mirror, and tighten the screw again. When that screw is loose, the mirror just flops down. There is another screw behind the mirror to adjust the angle, but again, I need tools to set the mirrors.
I wanted to move the mirrors to the bar ends, because I was having problems with the stock mirrors - all I could see was my elbows, and I had a large blind spot directly behind me. With the mirrors out on the bar ends, I have alot more visibility behind me.
The GSX1400.ORG site has pointed me to some other manufacturers, so I may replace these mirrors again next season. Here's one link: http://www.britishcycles.com/generic12.html
The picture is poor ... sorry. I took it in my garage as I was winterizing the bike in early November. For better pictures, you'll just have to wait about 13 weeks until springtime
