Go eBay. It's about $15 shipped and they have every single color you could possibly want.

Plus, you can get in a reflective finish so you're more visible at night:

I got mine on Ebay and love it. Just be patient and go slowly... they usually come with a few extra strips though.
And I'm really feeling those reflective ones. Gives it a cool look

I was looking at the pics for a minute or two and thought the only mod was removing the mirrors ;)

I gave up and checked out the rest of the thread, and then found out it was the rim strips haha, they look good.

Love them, I personally think they make the look of the bike flow alot better not having the huge antlers for mirrors, and as for people who complain about vibration ive had no issue with mine, that may partially be because i bought the nicest ones i could find, but i would highly reccomend the CRG mirrors again, and will be buying the same when i start my streetfighter project  :)

edit: heres a link for anyone intrested, keep in mind the reason there so much is because these are high quality not the 10$ ones on ebay http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/68/15727/ITEM/CRG-Hindsight-Bar-End-Mirror.aspx

nice thing is also, if a prt ever gets broken on the the company (CRG) sells replacements parts

I was busy admiring the wheels that I never noticed the bar end mirrors!! Are those direct install or did you have to buy a special adapter? I have a 07 so I am sure it will be the same setup as yours.
