Mirror dilemma

[jonnyconcrete]

Hi guys i have just suffered a oberon mirror shaking itself loose from the end bar of my monster 696
it was fully my own fault (no lock tight used on the end bar allen nut thread) the worst part was i watched it start to twizzle round and thought i could get home before it rattled out...doh

So im now looking at alternative mirrors for the bike, the main reason for this is mainly because all i could ever seem to see in my end bar mirrors (if im being honest) was shoulders and elbows.

So are there any mirrors that you guys/girls can recommend that look good , work as mirrors and are reasonably priced ?
Im just looking for honest "real rider" and not "sales guy" opinions

Cheers

crg is the answer, although they may not seem reasonably priced.

No info on the mirror, but I love your signature line gif...

I have CRG lane-splitters (these are the folding model, IF installed correctly. You would not believe the number I have seen installed in front of the bar! DOH!)

The view is great/clear but as with most bar-ends of this size (relatively small compared to regular mirrors) not large and in charge. Still, I would have no other mirror....

Third Eye bicycle bar end mirrors work well and are only $15 each.  Not as cool looking as anything made of machined aluminum.

CRG Hindsight LS mirrors. They are nicely built and when adjusted properly give you a nice view of the sides/blindspot. With that said, head checks are still important when changing lanes.

i had the same thing happen to an Oberon mirror of mine (i still look for it on the highway - but never seem to find it).
i switched (back) to CRG Hindsight Lanesplitters - way better view and much better made in my opinion.

Here's my review of the Monstrack Mirrors:

Hate the Monstrack mirrors, one of them rattled apart in 6 months, neither the Retailer or Monstrack wanted to help me out with Warranty.
I even offered to pay freight, but they did not want to assist me, so they can get bent!

These little fleabay knock-offs of the crg's are what I use and work great for those who are not on a crg budget.

I went with Napoleons for my 696.  Got em from CA-Cycleworks for $28 each.  As long as you still have the stock steel handlebars, they'll work without any mods.  Good view all around.  Even with the right one adjusted to see more behind me than straight back, I don't see much of my arms/shoulders.
