Does anybody have any suggestions and/or photos of bar-end mirrors? Napoleons look pretty cool but would they work with clubman bars? The ones that have clamps on the end look pretty cheesy.

I have run Napoleon mirrors on a couple bikes with clubman bars. I have found that, for me, they work better than most anything else you will find. The only reason I'm not at the moment is because the aluminum clip-ons I am using have a too small of a bore to mount the mirror into.

I run a bar end mirror on my Cafe racer which is fitted with solid alloy Magura (?) clipons. I bore a hole into the end of the bar and tapped it for an 8mm bolt which is used to mount the mirror. The onlt problem I have is remembering to fold the mirror in before trying to squeeze it into tight parking spaces as it seams to make the bike extra wide!

Up until a week ago I had them in a drop-down position on curved and raised bars. Looked really cool! Had them up on flat bars prior to that bikepics.com/members/mattbishop/78sr500/CJ, As Red Molly said to James, that's a fine motorbike! |

I used to have a plastic bar-end mirror from a bicycle shop on my clubmans, worked well.
Currently using a clamp-on round chrome mirror similar in size to the instruments because I got some fancy brass bar-weights I wanted to use.
