I'm going out on the snake oil limb here, but I have never experienced any kind of corrosion control and prevention like CorrsionX.  Learned about it from a US Coast Guard Senior Chief maintaining deck armament on marine patrol craft at the mouth of the Rio Grande. I have been amazed by it.

The "Caig DeOxit®" of corrosion product:

I'll take your word docc on it's brilliance but the cost over here is extortionate.

Y'all boys are good *sports*!

Thanks for tolerating my mirror spoof.

Here is my actual set-up (early CRG barends with complicated machined attachment to the factory Sport clip-on weights):

Yeah, it's wide, but its low.  Worthy of a proper Blues Bassman. And bogus poet . . . 

Your bike looks great. Bad to the Bone!

More bar-ends, I know, but this Norton posted by @swooshdave in hammershaug's thread is a real stunner, IMO...

I use CRGs on my Scura. 3" mirrors. They work well. It was tough though to get them from stop spinning. A little silicone and a washer worked pretty well.

I, for one (maybe the only one) am looking for a rear view camera setup with a single or dual screens atop the gauge cluster. I mean, you're gonna do a head check anyway, but since every car now has a backup camera, why not a rear view camera and no mirrors? I know someone will post a link here…

Mirrors are so old fashioned.

New tech is very costly. A year or two will make it more affordable, more refined, more practical.  At its current price, it cost more than 6 of my 7 bikes.

It is expensive but as you say the costs will come down. It's about time the helmet caught up with technology a little and this stuff looks real world usable. Plus you can ditch the mirrors.

Wot? New technology with no bulky, awkward, Luddite, analog, doubly redundant, back-up system? Where is the Moto Guzzi thinking in that?

I just search an image, open it, and right click for the action menu (whatever that is actually called), and select Copy Image Location -> paste into the reply. The image remains hosted at the source. One issue is when the source takes the image down, it goes blank here.
