Gen 2 Aftermarket Mirrors?

[Nite_train]

Any recommendations on some aftermarket mirrors. Bike currently has the stock mirrors and they urk the shit out of me! Way too tall for my preference. They look like damn CB antennas attached to the handle bars . I'm looking for something sleek and with a short stem. And I'm really trying to avoid bar end mirrors.

Arlen Ness has some of the sleekest looking mirrors. This is a Rad II model:

If you don't like the swoopy style, Arlen has a mini oval:

Those mirrors work on your American V-twin but I think the mini oval in black wouldn't look half-bad on the Vmax

I felt the same way. I think the bar ends look kind of dumb on a Gen2. BUT ..I love'em !! Buy a cheap set on eBay and give them a try. I doubt you'll go back to stalk mirrors.

Rizoma mirrors are what you’re looking for. Everything else feels and looks like a knockoff next to them. Not cheap, but the best never is. Been using them for over 20 years, bar ends and traditional on all my bikes. They’re so good that I’ve bought the last couple of sets for my current Gen 2 and my previous bike on the used market. If you find a set you like in good condition don’t hesitate since they hold up forever.

Agreed...ebay cheap knock-offs are, well, cheap knock-offs. I've got Rizoma, CRG and Oberon bar end mirrors on various bikes and they're all very high quality.

I went with the Oberon round mirrors on the VMAX as they matched the round 'holes' in the side scoops.

I bought the cheap eBay ones. Not knowing if I was going to like bar ends. They are still on.. been more then a few years.

Funny, the only other mirrors besides Rizoma that I’ve found the quality to be excellent were Oberon and CRG also.
I’ve always preferred the low mount inverted look of smallish bar ends for a sleek profile. Looks were killer, but for me in traffic, I needed a quicker visual reference when using them.

I would like to find something with a much lower stem height. The only problem I have is when transporting my bike in the trailer. I prefer to use candy dancer handlebar straps. Also I need all the side to side room I can get. I squeeze 3 bikes into a 14x8

Just sharing a picture of mine.

Got these on order from Sean Morley. Use your stock mirrors and part of the stem with his bracket. Love this look, the way the mirrors are laid down. Cannot wait to get the brackets.

Well those are certainly low profile...tell us about the intake grills? Very interesting look

Actually the picture was taken for the custom grills. You would have to talk with Sean about the grills not sure what he did with them. [email protected] is his email, that's the best way to communicate with him.

That's what I'm talking about! I ended up picking up a pair of cheap knock of bar ends with the swing clamp. Give me more options to fab up something to get them sitting the way I want them. I do like Sean's mirror mod. I like them low! Its gonna be great going under an overhead and not having to worry about it anymore. I didn't trust that 13'-7" clearance sign

The mirrors I installed very compact and works very well was $36 and comparable quality with high price mirrors might be better then them thou.

For a couple bucks I've decided to give these a try

That is the same mirror I tired years ago and they are still on. I have them flipped over so the narrow end flipped out. Easier to see..
