[star24playa]

[Das Bolt]

Arlen Ness mirrors would look horrible on a Buell. He makes all custom chrome mirrors for custom choppers.

Unless you have a Buell Chopper :D

[dans03firebolt]

I was watching American Thunder last night on Speed and they showed a tuber that for $4000 you can buy all the bolton's necessary to make it a custom chopper. It was awesome looking too. I have a fuel in frame bike so I couldn't do it but for those looking for it check it out. I am sure you could find out more on their website.

I don't know how anyone can ride between cars in traffic with the bar end mirrors. I'm comming from a Honda CBR, and I find my stock mirrors and handlebars make it very difficult to go between cars. Do people put narrower handlebars and then the bar end mirrors? Or are the aftermarket handlebars just for changing the lean angle?

I have a 07 xb12s

[JWolk217]

does anyone have these? Do they stick out past the handlebars?

Well most of us probably don't. It's illegal in my state. I will ride on the shoulder in traffic jams just for the fact I dont wanna overheat in the summer from sitting at idle. Or at least that's my story and i'm stickin with it :p

easy...a good bar-end mirror doesn't stick out that much in comparison to the stock handlebar weight.

that together with (normal) people leaving room when hearing me, leaning, etc will get your through almost anything.

I want to go with the Rizoma Dynamic mirror in black.

I don't know where to buy this mirror. I'm in the U.S. and it seems that there is nobody who sells xb12s after-market products. I just got my bike not too long ago and I am getting frustrated trying to purchase stuff for it.

[LeFox]

i've listed the importer for rizoma in the u.s. in a thread somewhere.

it is available, i would suggest to do a search here or google it.

[NOMORE4s4ME]

Third Eye bar end mirrors for bicycles. i put them on mine. they look 100% better than stock, are rock solid, and cost me $15.

[JWolk217]

Thanks for the info on the Rizoma mirrors. They look great and they vibrate less too! PJsparts.com was quick and precise.

[MrOrange]

Wow, that was quick... How much did you give for those bad boys with shipping and all? If you don't mind me asking :p

Did you need any adapters for yours?

They are about the best I've seen yet, good choice. [up]

[JWolk217]

www.pjsparts.com (http://www.pjsparts.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=59&osCsid=e5307a4c13f14c1df66193426348e123) was the retailer I purchased these Rizoma mirrors from. They shipped the parts the day after I purchased them. The mirrors were $81 each, and I had to get one adapter kit for $12. The mirrors and adapter kit was so easy to install, and the customer service was great. I wish they carried more items on my wish list!

[badbandit12]

heres tha ones on mine they came off a 08 aprillahttp://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/1152_20080223092716_L.jpg

CRG Barends. I love mine

[bleblanc03]

LeFox: at one point you posted pics of your "non-vibrating" Oberon bar-end mirror. I thought it looked really good in the bolt upright position.

So, I did a little hunting and I came upon nullthis article (http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-bar-end-mirrors/) on Web Bike World.

Do you still have your mirror? No, really though, have you found it to loosen ever?

[LeFox]

mine's not an oberon, but something like it.
instead of the bent bar, i have a straight one...

several people here use the oberon and are still satisfied with style, looks and performance.

they do not loosen or vibrate (if installed correctly, ofcourse ;))

[mezap]

JWOLK217-can you post a pic from the front? Those look pretty good. I don't want bar-ends, and I'm not crazy about the big mickey mouse ears that come stock. Those may be just the ticket...
Do some angle shots too if you can[up]

[strmvt]

I wanna get the 1125r stock mirrors hehe for my 12r

[JWolk217]

MeZap - sorry these pictures took me so long.

Just so you know, these mirrors have 3 different adjustment points. You can see more pictures of my bike HERE (http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Buell-Lightning-XB12S-XB12Ss-CityX-XB12Scg/Buell-aftermarket-parts/My-2007-Buell-xb12s-Lightning)

badbandit12,

Can you pls post a couple more photos from different angles of your bike with the Aprilia mirrors? I'm deciding btwn cheaping out and getting those, and blowing a bunch of dough on some Rizoma Class mirrors. Anyone have these?

[swatmedic]

anyone have the class retro mirrors? Give some info I am back and forth between them and the Oberons. Thanks

[Baal]

bleblanc03 and swatmedic: Did either of you get the Rizoma Class mirrors? I'm curious how they stand up to vibes (ie: how clear the view is; they look the biz.)

[Dancing Dogs]

I just ordered the Rizoma Dynamics in black from PJsparts.com. Can't wait to see them on my new 09 Scg. I liked the Class mirrors as well but wanted more black and less natural metallic.

[Abs]

Got these ones for mine..

Did I miss the boat? I can't find Aprilia Tuono mirrors anywhere online [mad]

I vote for Tuono mirrors. After crash I installed Aprilia Tuono mirrors on my xb9s instead of stock basically just because it was easier to get than stock. These mirrors work & look great. They don't shake at idle speeds, you see not only your shoulders.
Also these mirrors can be found on some BMW motorcycles. 100% same as Aprilias.
One more point for these - you can install these on Buell without any adaptors. The same hole diameter.

[RacerAV]

abs, where and how much! ? i like them! seca8s no?

I have a pair of them in excellent condition I'd sell for $40 plus shipping. They are the Aprilia mirrors from ASB, cost $70 a pair without mounts, and they now include the stock mounts. email: 3buells@mchsi.com
