Definitely #1. I had the same ones on my naked FZ. Also vote for the all black.

Once you go black......... You dont want gold!
Test rode a Triumph Speed Triple with mirrors like #2 and they were terrible.

Were they rizoma? Why were they terrible? Shakey or just limited view?
They were Rizomas... and I recognized the "Rizoma" brand, as I've seen bikes that tout having Rizoma goodies.Quote:

I had CRG bar ends on my SV, and I liked those a lot more. I had the fold-able ones, and the left side one faired up really well to a stationary tip-over (wasn't damaged at all, really).
Now that I have the VFR, I think I'm actually going to keep the mirrors stock -- I forgot what it was like to look at my shoulders... but further more, not have to look down and away from the road so much to check my six. Maybe pick up some extenders at some point, but I digress.

Word.
Welp.... looks like option 1 is getting an overwhelming number of votes.... Too bad those cost an extra 150 over the other options :chair: ;)
I'd stick with the bar ends, but it just makes the bars so friggin wide and because they're wide already, they don't do well in a tip-over.... I know from experience :mope:
Well... it IS your bike. ;)Quote:

I like your stock mirrors personally.
Naw, I got the Motrax ones... pretty good quality though & only 60 bucks a pair. Unfortunately one got busted so I'm just running one on the left.... hense the NEED for new crazy expensive pimp ones :lmao:
Stock mirrors? Ya mean these antennas???? :poke:Quote:

I never even had those. When I first got the bike it had Ducati mirrors on there, then I got the motrax bar ends seen in the original post.
Ohh...Quote:

At least they don't look as dumb as the SV650n rectangle ones.Quote:

You might wanna check out the Napoleons listed on there as well -- would look pretty cool on the CB!

For $37 + shipping, not too bad a deal! OTOH I can just grab some cheap no-name off fleabay for $20 while I'm ordering new bars as well. Hm...
I like the gold but on this one I'm going with #3

Option 1, closely followed by option 3.
At $150 cheaper, I'd def. go option 3 (even if I had a jobbie job!).
Hey, how come yer tail is still red?!
More important than mirrors is to banish all red paint from the bike. Yeah...
Dan, that's an old pic. The carbon booty is in full effect :naughty
btw, here's what Option 1 would look like on my bike as it sits with the red upper..... which may not last for long :P
And I also have a dark smoked double bubble.

And hopefully in the near future it'll look a lot more like this, minus all the yellow & red graphics :agreed:

Aight... So I just found some money in my PayPal account that I didn't know about, so I finally got around to ordering the mirrors..... Except :cool:
I didn't go w/ any of the mirrors in the poll. Instead I got these :agreed:

Rizoma 'Elisse' Universal Mirror
Another uniquely distinctive mirror design from Rizoma. This one comes with a warm amber** tinted relective glass, just to be extra different from any other mirror out there. The Elisse mirror from Rizoma truly articulates why they are the leader is sportbike accessory design. Touch and feel these mirrors and you will be convinced.
Available in clear or bi-color (clear/black) anodized finish. These mirrors are sold individually and are not left to right interchangeable, so please specify which side you prefer. Mounting adapters are included to fit most bikes, including for the Ducati that uses left and right hand threaded bolts. Two spacers are included to vary mount height.
* * The “Elisse” mirrors with an “amber” glass are antidazzle and particularly dark, thanks to their hydrophilic properties. In the course of time, in the atmosphere, the glass forms an even water film that improves its visibility. The functional hydrophilic layers are time resistant and light-activated.
I have nice kawasaki mirrors nice and low and custom mounts I made for the gixer high bars
They cost 180 and I made the mounts $75 takes em
I was wondering when you were going to get the Rizoma's! They are beautiful!
Those will look good. Did you get them from PJ's?
