Title: Oberon Mirror Post by: flanman on January 23, 2009, 01:38:53 PM Well I ordered the "streetfighter" bar end mirror from them. It took about 2 and a half weeks to get here (but that time frame was over the holidays/new years). I had no trouble dealing with them :) I measured the internal diameter of the stock bars and ordered the according size but for some reason the mirror I ended up getting didn't slide inside... The small lip that appears to be meant to sit inside the bar just was too big and I had no real way of shaving it down. So I ended up making a rubber washer that fit the gap (the end on the bar is somewhat tapered in and the mirror rests flat against it so there is about a .25 inch space). With the new spacer it fits on there nicely. Easy install the brass collet expands to really hold it in and the mirror has many different positions to play around with. It is small but works well (in my opinion). Very little vibration the only real difficult part for me at least is getting used to the lower location. From the stock taller bars it is way different to check (not a bad thing just takes time getting used to). It is still winter here in New England so a quick ride today and yesterday really hasn't allowed me to get it set perfectly where I want it but so far so good.

I think I like them more than the crg's. Just my 2cents
Title: Re: Oberon Mirror Post by: scoprire on January 23, 2009, 05:26:12 PM I've had mine for over a year now. They are a pain in the a$$ to get set the 1st time, but after that they stay where you set them. They are really well made, and worth the trouble. If I didn't already have them, I might try their version that has a bit larger glass, but you'll get used to them quickly.
Oh and don't bump into them in the garage.. they don't move out of the way like most mirrors. :) Title: Re: Oberon Mirror Post by: geoffduc on January 24, 2009, 04:30:26 AM Mr Flanman i'm glad yu are happy with the oberon mirror that you have fitted. I helped a mate fit a pair last year and he swears by them but i could not get used to the position and thats one of the reasons i installed the normal type of mirror on my HM [moto]
