Mirror Recommendation
« on: March 23, 2015, 09:12:18 PM »
Anyone have a recommendation for a set of mirrors, probably aftermarket, that will reduce the vibration. I'm looking for something that I can tell me if it's a Volkswagen or a Peterbilt behind me. Thanks for your help.

I've been using Napolean Bar Ends for years. The rectangle shape works great, they get out past your elbows, and the weight out at the end of the bars quells vibration. Available in black or chrome. The price is right, too.

As above, it depends on the bike.  I put a pair of these on my EV:  http://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=41&products_id=2411.

I have stock bars and Throttlemeister/Throttlemeister bar end weight installed.  The mirrors do vibrate some.  But I always know what is behind me.  I'd rate them a "B+."
