I'm currently using the Arrow miirror from CRG Racing. A bit pricey (about $90-100 per mirror not including a mount), but the optics of the mirror blow about anything else out of the water

Here is a shot when I had the clip-on bars:

I also use the Lick's 3" but have mine mounted on top of the bars. Just couldn't see anything with them on the bottom. Here's a pic but not a very good one.

I found the stock mirors to be pretty much useless. I think they are n there just to make it legal. I couldn't see s**t. Purchased a Joker Machine bar end mirror and looks good and functions. Sorry no photos yet. Bike is still in my basement torn apart.
