Rear view mirrors

I have the little circular ones that sell for $18. All aluminum, etc, and I like them.

I had Napoleons on the GS before but went to the smaller ones so the moto cover would not wiggle them out of adjustment.

I suspect I have the same ones as Nico and I don't like them. Visibility and position are fine but they are pretty cheap quality. One of the screws that came with it had a smooth shaft, no threads at all. The metal sleeves don't fit tightly in the handlebar and the mirrors can twist around. My next set will be better quality with rubber bushings.

I like the look of the first link you posted. If you end up going with those, I'd be interested in seeing a picture of it installed.

Sorry to hear yours were not that great, Alex.

I was very surprised with the quality of mine for $18.00!! I did use a little Teflon tape on the large 6mm threaded stud to make sure it stayed in place.
The sleeves that fit into the handlebar could be a little thicker for 7/8, but I greased the thread son the 5mm allen bolt and kept tightening...no issues. They fit my needs: every time I pull the cover off I don't have to spend 5 minutes adjusting my mirrors. The Napoleons are AWESOME mirrors and I will go back to them when I get a house (and garage!!), for now these cheapies work well. :)

I also like the ones the OP place in the first link!
