I put the Rizoma reverse retros in black on last weekend, along with their bar-end caps. I have the handle bars, grips and Ducabike levers but I'm going to put them on this summer.
The installation was a breeze (10 minutes) and while the view window is small, they are very effective and clear. Vast improvement over stock.
Been logging some miles on the bike as well. What a great bike. Engaging and fun. Corners better than most pure sport bikes I've had.

Nice mirrors Brooksie! I was thinking of changing mine to something like a barend mirrors like yours, but i park my bike in a tight garage and was worried about the width of the mirrors hitting on the sides so i had been putting it off. i would probably end up with just one side if anything. Also, people are saying that you get a lot of vibration on the barend side and may distort your view with barend mirrors? I guess with a branded higher end Rizoma mirrors like yours does not have that issue?

Love the look of bar end mirrors. I haven't got a set as bit affraid of filtering as it makes bars even wider

You know you can rotate the mirror 180 degrees and it will be the same width as the bars. I had those same mirrors on my monster and loved them. Friend of mine had them on his triumph and had no idea they could be rotated until I showed him.

I have run them that way on bikes in the past. Even in my tight garage these are fine. I simply turn them up when storing.

I would just get one. Most of the time I don't even use my mirrors. I just turn my head and look before lane switching etc

I use mirrors as secondary to head turn. It's just nice to have mirrors as additional view.
