Bar end Mirrors?
I have searched the topics and only found a few on changing out the mirrors retrofitting other models mirrors.
Has anyone put some good quality bar end mirrors on? I think the hooligan look would be fun. If so, is visiblity is better? There are some good looking at the link below but pricey. http://www.bevelheaven.com/stuff-for-sale-mirror.htm

It's unfortunate that spacers for our stock mirrors are not a viable option.
Sorry, I have no experience with bar end mirrors. |

I thought about it once, but I don't think it'd work too well with out bikes. With the bigger bikes you're further back from the bars and can see the mirrors. It seems with these you'd have to really lean back if you wanted to see the mirrors.

Thanks KKim and That is a good point Vex. Throttle Rocket picked up this catalog when we were at the motorcycle show yesterday.
They have mirror wideners. but not listed for the 250 but in the catalog there were a ton so maybe something might work. http://www.twistedthrottle.com I just emailed them to ask if they are working on something or if they know what will retrofit. edit these are the basic hinge ones http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade...view/2516/223/

I found a workable (cheaper) solution. I bought 2 of the round (2" diam) stick-on spot mirrors, available at most auto stores and placed them in the upper/outside corner of each mirror. I then rotated each mirror down (more toward the ground) and angled them toward me. To check them, I backed up to the center of my Jeep and about a foot away. I wanted to make sure that I could see traffic directly behind me. The regular mirrors showed each fender and turn signal for that side of the vehicle, while the spots allowed me to see the center of the Jeep from both sides. By rotating them down, you bypass your shoulders! |

CRG mirror is really nice! The bar ends on the 250r look like they would work real well mount them on < With a slight notch put onto them. See 1st pic, kinda sad..... but you get the idea
On my other bike, the bar ends were really short. So we just made a bar end to mount the mirror on. |

Yes, there are bar-end mirrors that work on 250Rs. Some even have integrated turn signals in them. I have seen pictures on other forums and they do work better than the stock mirrors, but what wouldn't? I don't like the look of bar-ends and have given up looking for something to replace the stock mirrors. There just doesn't seem to be anything out for 250R mirrors in the aftermarket just yet. I've also settled for the stick-on convex mirrors (individually sold at WalMart for just a couple of bucks) and they are a big improvement.
