from sean eh? was thinking of getting those but wasnt sure what they looked like on the max...
Does the blue tinted glass have any effect on vision, particularly at night? I really like the functionally of these. I tried the small round ones and they were not very usable to me.

torque them down good and tight
Here are the ones I have, sorry best pic of them even though the photo still makes me cry.
Never EVER ask a friend to put the bike away for you them let them close the door.....
Anyway, these are folding bar ends and are actually quite good, they don't fold in on the road until you are doing 130mph...

+1. i've tried flipping these upside-down into sort of a cafe racer position, and they looked pretty cool, but i couldn't see shit with them like that. so i have them setup in the "conventional" position and they aren't bad. i just don't know if it's the mirrors, or if its the headlight or something on the front end that is bothering me and my monkey. :rofl_200:
Got my mirros on today. They seem to work and look pretty good. The downside is that there is a gap now between the bar end and the stock grip. Anybody know of anywhere where I can get a shim or spacer to put inbetween them? Not really wanting to change grips since I do like the factory ones.

ninjaneer, is that a marks system and a 2.5 outlet? if so how do you like it, how loud, stupid bug the neighbors or just decent lol
vmax06, you got pics of your new mirrors?
i bought a spare grip and cut out little 'donuts' to take in that space.
i think i still have it if you want me to cut some and u have stock grips?
PM me and let me know dimensions if you do.

sorry for the hijack. hehehehe
tugla: yes, they are marks; yes, i am loving it; no, they are 2.25s. as far as loudness, put it this way, revving stock to 6k is about ~113 dB and idling marks is ~113 dB. but dB levels aren't a good indication of the quality of the tone, which is fuller and deeper than stock. here have a listen (i messed up a couple of times and didn't set the dB meter into a wider sensor range, oh well. also the trite saying of the "vid doesn't do it justice" applies.)

i have to start the max up outside of my garage because it starts resonating and garage door starts shaking. this causes the wife who is trying to sleep off the graveyard shift on the other side of the house to come screaming into the garage demanding that i knock it off. LOL. with that being said, i don't know if i'm losing my hearing or i've acclimated to the exhaust, but i'm saving up to switch the cans out with a set of 2.5s...maybe 2.75s...we'll see.

I just removed the left grip and then re-glued it in the correct position so there was no gap.
On the throttle side, the throttle tube was longer than the grip. I trimmed the plastic throttle tube flush with the grip and slid the whole assembly over to the end of the bar.
