CRG bar end mirrors on 696

Thought I'd throw on some pics of the new mirrors.  Mucho better then the "antenna" looking mirrors.

You can get them at:

Love the mirrors!  I think it is one of the biggest things you can do for the bike...make it look completely different.  Good show!

Yes they do fold in and then they will pop back out to where you had them set.

It's good I guess.  I mainly used .mac for backing up my info.  I guess now I can have access wherever I go.  I think I'll find it useful.

decent for vibration?

I don't notice that they move at all.  With the way they are designed, you can tighten them pretty tight.  My stock mirrors wouldn't stay tight at all.  I even used blue lock tight.  If you use that on the GRG mirrors I don't think they would ever move.

Nice.      Your pics are motivating me to place an order today.  The stock ones aren't cutting it for me. 

Did you just buy the mirrors or did you also need an adapter?  Did you install them yourself?  Easy?

Very easy to install.  Basically you pull out the stock bar end "sliders", the material is basically plastic.  I placed a cloth over the "slider" and then used pliers to remove them.  Did this so that if I, for some unforeseen reason, wanted to put them back in they weren't screwed up.  They pop right out.  I bought the Motovation bar end sliders, about $90, they also have just the insert that the mirrors attach to without the "real slider".  They are about $20.  Go to the website and check it out.  I think it's the easiest, quickest, most noticeable change I could have done.

Installed the same mirrors this weekend on mine.  They work 1000% better than the stock mirrors.
