Motrax bar end mirror quality and vibration.

[bombadillo]

I am looking at getting these and nobody has done any kind of a write up on them or any real information regarding these.  I know they're not crg, but I just can't afford those right now.  Are they worth it or not??  What kind of quality do people who have them think them?  How are they for vibration compared to others including stock.  any pics great, but otherwise just info would be great.

nobody has these???  If there's a thread already, post a link because I couldn't find it.

I'm looking for some bar ends too.  I haven't heard of anybody around this forum using these, but I've read several reviews on the web.  Mostly with good comments...  here's one.

I have them mounted on clip ons.  They're fine with no vibes at all in any speed/rpm.  I have no problems with field of vision either.  they're convex so I can see my lunch strapped to my tail on the way to work and still the lane beside me.  build quality isn't an issue, unless you're looking for something real special.  haven't looked into pricing in a while, but last I did, I thought you could get 3 mirrors to the cost of 1 crg. 

some people don't like bar end mirrors in general, but if you're into them, these will do just fine.

yeah, they are nice looking ends, and your bike is actually one of the reasons I am going for them.  My creation is almost complete.  I have to let the tank dry and clear it and it'll be done.  60 bucks for 2 mirrors plus shipping is the current price.  They look

thx a lot.  when you're all set with yours - post some pics!  always nice to see what's out there and how things are coming.


keep shopping around - check these ones out on ebay for $45 shipped (in the US) for the pair...  at that price, you wouldn't feel so bad if you dropped it or whatever, compared to what you'd feel with the crg's.  comes in silver too from same seller.

Hey All!

The problem I'm having is that my clipons are the thick aluminum ones, so the cheap bar end mirrors I bought wouldn't fit in the bars.
Any one know which will?

[WREX]

my clipons are just some thick walled, 7/8th mild steel that might be little bit bigger then stock.  my triple clamps are powder coated so the fit was tight for the tubes in the clamps.  Barend mirrors were a bit tight but they're on just fine, without issues.

if you feel that expensive bar end mirrors will solve your fitment probs - then just go crg.  another option you could do is use the bar end insert (with either the cheaper mirrors which come with the inserts, or the crgs which is extra) instead of clamping over the bar.  I haven't tried, but I thought i read somewhere that crg reccomends the clamp on first and the insert second.  dunno, it's been a while since I've read up.  good luck.
