Title: Rizome Reverse Retro vs. CRG bar-end mirrors Post by: topangster on September 03, 2008, 09:57:34 PM Hey y'all,
I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair of the Rizoma Reverse Retros for my s2r 1K (really like the way they look), but I've heard some negative reports about visibility once they're installed. I do use my mirrors, so being able to see out of them (reasonably well), is a definite priority. Anyone here try the Reverse Retros on their bike? Was visibility significantly impaired? I realize they are smaller than stock, and I don't mind having to adjust my habits somewhat, but I really don't want to miss a significant part of what I can presently see by using the stockers. What about CRG bar-ends? Do these decrease visibility also? They are my second choice (because they're so common), but I'll get them instead of the Rizomas if they're a lot more functional as mirrors. Thanks for any feedback!

This isn't simply because of their size, but because they are "flat glass" mirrors. I haven't tried the CRG's, but a few people I know have and really like them. I had Napolean's on my monster and loved them. They sit out at the end of your bars, have a pretty good size visible area and are convex as well, so you get the best of all worlds. Plus, they only cost about $35 per mirror. I would say the only potential negative to them is that some people find them too big, but that is all personal preference.

I have the Rizmos, they are small and have flat glass but they have a blue tint which seems to increase clarity. It takes a bit to adjust them but after some work I have full visibility. To be fair I occasionally see my arm on the left side but maybe thats just me leaning that way :) I highly recommend them. [evil] [moto] |
