Thanks guys, keep 'em coming.

Went mirror shopping today and saw some great stuff.

Will decide once the new bars are on, hopefully by 1-10-10!

More ideas and pics please.

Well they're on now so here's some pics as promised.

New bars, mirrors and conchos covering the fairing mirror holes.

Bars are Ergo 'back" bars from Klock Werks.

Mirrors are "Low Brow" from Joker Machine.

Both items available from forum sponsors Cateye Customs as well as Dr. Vtwin among others.

(Crappy camera + Crappy photographer = Crappy pics. Sorry)

Before:


With new bars. Notice how they totally block view of the fairing mounted mirrors:


New mirror with old mirror:


New mirror with foam backed concho covering old mirror hole. Will do for now until I find something better.

How are the rise and pullback? To me they look just enough to make a favorable difference. Plus they look great on your bike. I had been leaning toward Cyclesmith 13" apes, but you've given me a different option.

I can't find the Heritage BARS for $50. in online DS cat. Any other ideas? I was thinking of the KW Ergo bars but those look great and $130 less. I know you said you took off apes but do you think stock cables, wires would work with the replica heritage bars.

Oops, I think I found them, are they the tall Heritage 0601-0827?
