Slight hijack here, but how do you like those Avon grips?

Normally, I don't prefer Kur"crap"yan parts, but went with these mirrors (likes the concept w/apes) and they worked well...pleased with the fit/function/look.

Here is a quick mock up with my stocks upside down. Seems like they are just to long to look normal.

I like them. They fit my hands better than any other grips that I have tried. They are a very tight fit though, I had to file the inside just a bit to get them on the bars. And I don't know if I could get the left one back off without using a grinder. I was worried about the lack of grip and how hot they would get when the bike was parked in the sun, but neither of these have been a problem.

Yeah, you need some shorter stems.

That's the problem with apes.
Just get the mirrors(small ones) that fit on your handlebar ends.
They do exist

I bought the black round billet mirrors when I put my 12" bars on and put them upside down. I can post a picture once I get home from work tonight.
