Classic 'bar end' mirror...mounted there because if you mount them any farther inboard the only thing you can see is your elbow...nothing behind or beside you. Lots of guys with narrow 'clip on' bars (bars that 'clip on' to the forks rather than bolt to the top triple clamp) on older 'cafe' bikes still run these. Thanks for the pic's...LOTS of very cool stuff...

It was an interesting show, a lot of Harley custom choppers and bobbers with a bunch of racing bikes and some metric cafe

I liked this style, but maybe I'm old.

We very well may have been standing right next to each other! I dug the "White Wizard" myself, my wife laughed at the Schlitz can on the front fender of "Elvis". It was a great show with a really interesting mix of bikes and people.
