The best quality are CRG, but they are expensive. CRG Arrow mirrors cost about $90 each.

I've had good luck with the round ones you can get for $20 from Amazon. They don't fold, but they are sturdy and give a clear view. You can bolt them onto the ends of your bar-end weights, or between the weights and the bars, or omit the weights altogether. Check them out at:

What he said. I've had good experiences with these cheap round bar end mirrors. But look on ebay. They usually go for $9.99 for the exact same mirror.

I bought a set from "moto-deluxe" on E-bay. "Ducati foldaway" They are great mirrors for I think 69.00 a set. They are convex mirrors so "things may be closer than they appear" I'l see if I can post a picture tomorrow. I took the bar weights off and milled 15 millimeters off the outer ends to give a nice flat surface for the mount, but to also allow the use of the allen bolts that came with the bar end mirrors.

The easiest way to take the end weights off is to use a drill to drill off the head of the screw, take the end off, and unscrew the stub with a small pipe wrench.

Mine are absolutely unaffected by vibration, but possibly due to retaining the end weights.

I run Third Eye bicycle mirrors on the Buell. They are great also, and CHEAP. But you need a hollow handlebar, and I wanted to retain the end weights.
