They look like decent quality in the pics and seem similar in design to the Risoma "reverse retro" bar ends. I've never had any luck with anything from China tho.
The Risomas....

they do bear a striking resemblance....

*I have the rizomas and love them, btw.

I have one of the rizomas... didn't feel like springing for the right hand side just yet and thought about ordering one of those "just to see"
I figure i'll have one GOOD mirror in case the cheap chineese knock off takes a dump on the road... but I'm still hesitant.
More than likely the rizoma parts are sourced out anyways and I'd be missing would be the rizoma branding... which I don't care about anyways.
They also have oberon knock offs

Yeah, the mirror post looks identical as well as the basic shape. Other than the machined esthetic groove in the outer edge, it is very similar.
I think I'll order up a set and will post up the results when they arrive...

they might be the shin yo versions. if not i had the shin yo (since been sent to hooligan for his rebuild). nice quality metal, good mirrors and good price. i didn't mount them though, took a new direction.

About the same price too. I'm very happy with the Motrax Mirrors.

These look great, pretty much identical to the Rizomas, seems like. And they fit on an S2R?

Yep, put them on my S2R.
They look a lot like the Rizomas except the mirror has a blue tint to it which I actually prefer. I believe the Rizoma mirror is clear.

Then I stand corrected and these would seem to be a very good copy of the Rizomas.

I run the Rizoma's, they work out OK. Looks great, but Realize that your field of vision is going to get a lot smaller. The Rizoma's also have the blue tint, and really the only other distinguishing characteristic is the little "RIZOMA" stamped on the top of the mirror housing.

Considering that half of the stock mirrors are filled with my shoulders when adjusted so I can actually see behind me... I think any bar end will have a better field of view
