Thumbs up CRG Bar end mirrors

I just purchased and installed a pair of 3 inch CRG bar end mirrors. Have to say they were a bit pricey but well worth it. They got rid of the annoying buzzing in the bars and at 100+ they are still crystal clear.

For that price they'd better not vibrate.

I know they are pricey but I hated the stalked mirrors and I didn't want the larger bar ends. anyway the look of the bike is much sleeker and the mirrors have a better view and after a little time the bite of the price tag will lessen. They also fold in so not to take up to much more room in the garage or if someone bumps them they will give instead of bending or breaking.

I wouldn't think they would look good on a RR.

MY bike has no fairings

Nope, in 2003 Suzuki imported the naked SV 1000 with no fairings for only 6 months, I found a let over in march and bought it up for $5,900 with only 1 mile on it. I have a pic of it in my profile. ( with the old mirrors)

Post up a pic of the 1000N with the mirrors -- I always thought the nakeds look good with that setup.
