Mirrors
I recently bought some folding bar end mirrors for my bike, they look awesome but I don't like the fact I actually have to move my head down and to the side to see them rather than just a glance. I'm also not quick enough to fold them before filtering
Are there any decent mirrors that fit in the normal position but aren't as big and ugly as the standard ones? |

Everytime I buy mirrors online they don't fit! Three times from Ducati owners, and each time I have to sell them again... I'm sticking with the Mickey Mouse ones.

Yeah I've had that issue too. I remember on a previous Monster I fitted the newer 696 etc mirrors without issue and they looked slightly better (Bugs Bunny rather than Mickey Mouse)

I have a pair of Scrambler mirrors on one of mine.
They look OK and you can see behind you, as well as checking your elbows are still there.

Gear Gremlin mini bar end mirrors really good, have them on my 1100, they have nylon knuckle, really easy to move.
think about £35/40 a pair ? |

I already have some nice folding bar end mirrors which are good but I think it's the position of bar ends (low down) that doesn't suit me. I may just go for the newer type monster mirrors or the scrambler ones. It's annoying because off the bike bar ends look nice and clean!

Looking at these at moment, glass-less bar end mirrors. Maybe an alternative but pricier than the flea-bay copies Anyone had any experience of these?

Would this style, which sit above the bars, be any better?

I've tried those eBay ones and they didn't fit so I had to return them
