Did I see at one time a post about aftermarket mirrors that could be screwed into the end of the handle bars?

Just got back from the GMR and packing the bike up was a pain because I couldn't lay anything across the seat. My mirrors would get blocked.

Someone even suggested threaded mirrors on the right side in that spare hole but I wonder about the mirror hitting the fairing

Here are some options.

Yes, they suck, but I'm so used to them I don't even notice much anymore.

Moondog,

Here is another option- a bit pricey though.

One of the great features of the sucky RS mirrors is that they are designed on purpose or accident to block head light lights from blinding me when riding at night.

I really love that!
