I have a 2005 S4R and want to replace my current bar-end mirrors.  I have stock handlebars.  I am considering Oberon 75 mm adjustable bar-end mirrors or Rizoma Class Retos.  Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I have the Rizoma Reverse Retros on my bike. I am very pleased with them. Great fit and finish, they stay put, and the view is better than the stock mirrors.

I have rinomoto barends for sale that allows you too use almost any kind of clamp on mirrors, I ran them with my CRG blindsight and I love the setup.

Which ones?  I have been overwhelmed by the amount of choices.  I am looking for only one mirror as i have another and was going to get something cheap.

Take your pick: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=ducati+bar+end+mirror+s4r&_sacat=0&_odkw=ducati+bar+end+mirror&_osacat=0

My pick is these (I love how sturdy they are):  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bar-End-Mirrors-Ducati-Monster-600-620-750-900-s4r-CNC-/130456660443?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e5fd2a9db&vxp=mtr

The one I like is pretty big.  Depends on my lane pos I can see behind and to the side of me.  I went down and broke one off.  I'm currently running left one only and still very good.

I'm also thinking about these Dual Star mirrors to give the low profile look (kinda clean up a bit):  http://www.dual-star.com/index2/Equipment/adjustable_mirror.htm

I put a pair of Mirrycle bar end mirrors on my monster about 5 years ago. $12.95 each at R.E.I. They've held up great!

I have a single CRG Blindsight (the smaller 2" one) on the left clip-on. It has suited me well when it comes to lane changing and stoplight rearend checks.

I always give a quick look-back for lane changes though.

Had Rinomoto barends with CRG Blindsight on my 696 and they worked great  just like Veloce-Fino said.  I changed my set up slightly and running Oberon turn signal barends with my CRG blindsight now.  I'm also running Oberon turn signal barends and CRG Arrow on my 848 Streetfighter.  I had CRG blindsights on the SF but they didn't flow with the lines on the bike.  I like the CRG stuff, they make great product.
