I had purchased these mirrors and frame sliders on ebay about a month ago for pretty damn cheap. The delrin sliders are fantastic quality and for $35 shipped I couldn't pass them up. The bar end mirrors were even less. Nice small and convex. I also changed the oil tonight.

Looks so much more sleek now.

Nice pics, Nick. Those look like the same mirrors I bought for my bike. I'm not impressed. The hardware rusts quick. I lost the glass out of one going over the Hone Bridge one night. Going 140 may have been partially to blame.

Oh.I did notice the glass may be a bit easy to remove, i'll inject some super glue in there and add sealant to the hrdware to help prevent rust.

Thanks for the heads up

I'm just gonna roll with only one mirror until that one grenades or I get bored with it. Then I'll drop some coin and get some good mirrors and new bars.

A guy i work with i also ride with he has bar end mirrors on his X1 lightning he takes ridiculous care of the thing and i've never seen rust on his mirrors i don't know where he got them from. but they look way better. he wants me to put them on my gxr but they won't even go past the width of my body. They look very good on your bike as well. heres a picture of my buddies buell

A shot from back when I had two mirrors. People ask why I roll with only one mirror, I tell 'em "Well, with this economy..."
