Bar End Mirrors....anyone have them?

I need some pics of drag bars with bar end mirrors....how do they get installed? Do your grips matter (as far as which ones you have)? Not seeing much info on this in a search. I am looking at the ones at EurocomponentsUSA.com, just not sure about the above issues......Here's what I am working with:

Sorry not a Sportster but same idea. Springer w/drag bars and bar end mirror. Mine are Joker Machine. They have several styles available. End of the grip needed cutting and a hole drilled in the bar. Nothing major.

I do not have them on the Sporty, but have bar end mirrors on the Z1000 and love them. You can see so well and it give the bike a nice low profile look.

Here's a thread I started a few months ago on a hack to keep them securely on the grips.

Mine is still really solid with no issues.

Again, not a Sportster, but I have upside-down bar end mirrors for the same reason. Well, just one mirror. It looks like it will be in the way but it's not at all & I see much better than with the stock, vibrating mirrors.

PGDredd, with mine (only bar end mirrors I have experience with) they have regular bar ends that secure into the ends of the bars with a bolt in the center that, when tightened, expand and kind of reverse clamp themselves in. Then the mirror attaches to that. And yours has a kick-*** paint job!
