Guest Mongo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Looking for recommendations for bar end mirrors for my '04 V11 Sport Ballabio. I have read the FAQs but am looking for someone who has maybe installed them and their opinion. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I really like my CRG barends, but looking very deeply into them doesn't reveal if that's a Crown Victoria or an F15 closing on you way back there. I'd gladly surrender a little field of view if they weren't quite so convex. Also, use a little blue Loktite on the retaining screw. Those replacement lenses are pricey.

BrianG Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I had the CRG Hindsight Mirror on my 2000 Sport for a while. Didn't provide me with enough information so I replaced it with the stockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian, I don't recognize that fairing. Could you post some more pics. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st. augustine Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I replaced my stock mirrors with the CRGs about 2 years ago. I really like them but lately I have noticed the left one won't stay up like it used to. I have to reposition it every couple of weeks, though the screws are tight, etc. I took it apart and I think it is the little ball bearing that fits into the socket has worn down or the socket is enlarged. I am thinking about writing CRG to see if they have experienced this with others or if mine is an isolated case. Most likely I just ride too much...you know, I probably exceeded the vibs per timemile(otherwise known as I warped). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeve Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Brian, I don't recognize that fairing. Could you post some more pics. Very nice. Are those handguards you've got on the ends of the bars? Can we get a closeup of that action? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mongo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks all, good info for sure. I guess I should have also asked if there is such a thing as mirrors that mount in the current stock position but have longer stalks? I can see fine in the stockers to my immediate side but cannot see anything behind me. If there is a mirror with a longer stalk I would sure install those instead of the bar ends.

big J Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Guzzirider fitted some Buell ones recently that looked quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Guzzirider fitted some Buell ones recently that looked quite good. An update on those mirrors- did a motorway run with them the other day and they do vibe a bit and the view behind is blurry. Fine round town though. I'm sticking with them- good incentive to keep my speed down. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Jaap Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I just bought the Aprilia Tuono mirrors. Same ones are on the new 1200S. I checked them in my garage and I don't have to tug my elbows in that far anymore to see the cops chasing me... They were dirt cheap, btw. € 21,- a piece.

Not quite riding season yet, up here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
