I WILL TRY TO POST SOME PICTURES.SOON THE END CAPS ON THE BARS UNSCREW, THE MIRRORS JUST INSERT. REMOVE THE HEAD LIGHT CAL COVER TO DISCONECT THE SIGNALS .RE INSTALL LED,SIGNLS,,USE THE SLOTS ON THE SIDE COVERS ON THE CAL. THIS WAY YOU DONT HAVE TO DRILL HOLES TO INSTALL THEM. SO YOU ARE KEEPING THE BIKE FACTORY. JUST PUT A BLACK PUSH PIN IN THE HOLE LEFT BY THE STOCK MIRRORS. I MY USE ONE OF THE HOLES TO MOUNT MY GPS....:D

Here you go, these are CRG 4" bar ends with Rizoma LED turn indicators I mounted on either side of the headlight cowl. Notice the carbon fiber instrument cowl cover. I think I have the only one on the planet, no vendor makes it to my knowledge. I know a guy who has been doing cf for years, he also did my right side exhaust cover. He is half the price of any known cf vendor. http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/5308_20100207015718_L.jpghttp://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/5308_20100128224307_L.jpghttp://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/5308_20100207020024_L.jpg

The picture on the right is before I had the instrument cowl carbon fiber cover done. I had to ship it to the guy so he could mold the new piece on. He will be working on a single piece cf cowl, not just the cover. At that time he will offer two choices and two prices. The third pic shows the carbon fiber exhaust guard, he will sell those for $60, about half for what others charge for that piece. The picture also shows the Rizoma turn indicator, sucker is bright head on. I like it because it also shoots light to the rear, unlike the mirror turn indicators. Man, those mirrors are heavy aren't they? They also don't work very well.

I used a little piece of rubber band around the larger expansion sleeve to give it a more snug fit as well as cut down on any vibes, these puppies are rock solid at any speed :D

thanks again xtreme and BUELLXB.com, you guys rock!! [up]

tis wet Aussie, but being that I am not a fair weather rider I am fortunate enough to be able to ride pretty much year round (we had snow for 2 weeks back in Dec, flowers are blooming, typical wet west coast winter) [up]

Shame your having to endure 38 celsius weather ;)

bar end mirrors definitely make the cr look better. but in practice they are close to being completely worthless. i have to crank my head over my arm and look down at my bar end mirror to see anything. it ends up being more than a pain than just looking over my shoulder before changing lanes. of course that's with a helmet and riding jacket w/padding. maybe it would be better with a t-shirt & no helmet. ? just my 2-cents though.
