Just a thought about the mickey mouse mirrors

I was just thinking, anyone ever thought/tried to modify them so that they mount on the bar end?

I thought something to the effect of coming out the bar end and then bend up (or down) then back around the grip. If I had a way to draw it i would. If done properly it might look kind of cool and be real cheap

It sounds like you're describing mirrors with a position kinda like Napoleon bar ends or the ones on the sport classics.

The only thing I can think of that would make Mickey Mouse mirrors look cool would be to see them explode. If you want cheap but workable bar ends mirrors, you can buy these: http://www.rei.com/product/686043

I mounted lasersharks on my mickey mirrors. Only then did they explode.
Unfortunately, it happened too quickly, and I didn't get pictures, so I replaced the sploded mirrors with Rizoma Radial Naked mirrors.

Apparently I already have the Napoleon mirrors on my bike (were on when I bought it). I am not really a fan of them though. Decent visability, but they are so huge. I am also cheap. But mostly I was just wondering if anyone ever modified the stock mirrors in some way that actually looks cool.

Even James Dean couldn't make those mirrors look cool.

why dont you buy CRG bar end imitations? they're only $20 bucks shipped.

I might, my brother has them on his bike, is probably the only holding me back from that. But with all the custom stuff people do, I wondered if anyone has done such a thing. I dont even have a pair of the mickeys so honestly I dont think I've ever seen them in person hahaha

I found the mickey mouse mirrors so ugly and obtrusive that I just gave them away for free here on the forum.

I've finally replaced mine, so if anyone wants them, let me know. Free of course.

I need a set for an "experiment"... I'll send PM's to those on this thread, but if you have a set I would gladly take them.

Just know that they will die a horrible death by being hacked to pieces...

If "the experiment" works out, there may be new life for these old handlebar warts. [moto]

theres just no point imho when as said, the CRG clones are dirt cheap and actually offer great visibility
