These Jaybrakes (or the knockoffs) are really nice if you invert the stem style. They are just enough to have some view, but not so much that they look like dinner plates mounted to the bars.
I had the 2" clamp style on my last bike, and I loved them.

Another option...I ran these mirrors flipped under my apes for a long while and really liked them. These are stock Harley mirrors you can get from any dealer...they are the old round design and only run about 20 bux a piece.
They have a pretty good size mirror (visiblilty is good) and have that old school flavor. Another positive is the stem is fairly short keeping the mirrors tucked into the bars better than other mirrors.

JAY-D - That looks sick. I got some of those in a box at home. Im running stock mirrors flipped right now. I get off at 5pm and by 6pm I will have the rounds out of the box and installed.
Thanks brother.

well i am about to put some new handlebars on and liked to change my reflectors to certain thing else. Its hard to notify what I would desire without glimpsing them on the bike. If any individual has some images that would be great.

If you check my bike, you'll see that I have the mirrors mounted so the stems push the mirror closer to the bars. Most people mount them so the stems push the mirrors away from the bars and closer to the grips.
I like them closer to the bars, IMHO it keeps the lines of the bike tight and centered. Try both ways and see what works best for you.
Pics of your bike when you've got them installed are MANDATORY

Im thinking about getting some bar end mirrors and drilling out my grips so they will fit. I tried to flip my current stockers like some people are doing but the right side one is connected to my turn signal so I cant. Oh well hope these bar ends work and I dont have grips with holes in them.

Not many leave the turn signals mounted on the bars when they go with apes.
Good luck on the end mount mirrors.
