I have barends on my 2003 919, but would like to try something that would allow more surface area/visibilty, especially on my left side, due to lack of peripheral vision... any suggestions on something that would complement the bike as well?
the stockers painted flat black.... they actually look pretty damn good, I scuffed mine up with some 150 grit sand paper and did 2 light coats of primer, then 2 light coats of flat black... and they came out bitchin.
Allan B ... more details on those please... they look pretty slick.

I like my CRGs.
They are outboard and work better than stock for me.
I also like how they fold back.
Excellent for top end charges, just fold em back for reduced wind resistance.
I figure it's good for another 0.0000001 mph of top end.
Seriously though, the optics are excellent, they don't vibrate, and I don't see my elbow in the mirror like I did with the stockers.
I've had no issue with the black paint, but I do keep by bike very clean. Also available in chrome.
Note - I have the Ultra-Lows and I had to 'modify' the rubbers and nut that insert into the barends as the internal diameter is smaller than a steel bar.

Weird double post by me that I cannot appear to delete! I blame Bill Gates.
Also on these mirrors the mirror plate can be rotated 180 from where I have it so it extends out further for more view. And if it clears your tank you could mount it under the bar for a stealth look (can't remember if I tried this option, probably won't clear the 919 tank with UL's fitted).
Can't go wrong with Aprilla Shiver mirrors. Lower profile, good visibility, and very easy to install.
Hahaha......... They look like layed back cat ears to me.... I guess it's better than Mickey Mouse ear stockers! If cost is the issue I say Krylon black and be happy!

yup.... thats what i did... flat black... looks damn good IMO
Those look sweet! I have a pair sitting at home, might just have to take off the CRG bar end knock-offs and put those on. Got mine at FlynCycle $20 each
1500 miles since my first oil change after making the switch to Rotella, still loving it... just did a spirited 200 miler in 100 degree heat, no false neutrals, smooth as silk.
those are some good looking mirrors, may have to jump on these as well... the Aprilia dealers aren't in any hurry to order mirrors for a Honda owner some states away...
I use car oil and Fram filters, cuz they are the best.
I'm LOL'ing 'cause this morning as I was waiting to get a tire patched up on my truck, I walked next door to O'reilly to kill some time. While I was there, I picked up some Valvoline Max life for my 96 Tacoma with 162k miles, I then drove across the street to Advanced Auto Parts when the tire work was done to buy my Purolator filter (PL10241)
I took a nice long ride. So the Verdict. No vibrations. Very easy to see. And they're worth more than I paid. Got to love EBay sometimes. For the Price you can't beat it.
got mine in as well, visibility so much better and looked so good I immediately took the bar ends off.... shweeeeet!!! beats having to deal with Aprilia dealers...

Well, you've sucked me in, too. For 38.85 including shipping for two, plus the great reviews above, it's hard to pass up. Assuming, of course, you don't like the chrome stockers...which I don't. Anyone want to buy some chrome stockers from a one-year old 07 with 4000 miles on them?

There was recently a post in the classifieds by someone looking for some stockers.
