Bar-end Mirrors

[Alan]

Many motorcycle riders are ditching their large factory mirrors for a cleaner look. Bar end mirrors are becoming a standard choice for people who want to simplify the front of their bikes. These mirrors mount directly to the ends of the handlebars which removes clutter from the controls.
They are especially popular on naked bikes and custom builds because they create a wider profile.

While they look minimalist, they often provide a better view of the road behind you because they sit further out from your shoulders. High quality versions made from solid metal are sturdy and do not vibrate as much at high speeds. It is a simple change that makes a big difference in how a motorcycle looks and feels on the street.

Have you seen a Ducati Monster with bar end mirror?

I've seen some posts from other riders that solid metal versions hold steady even at highway speeds so the upgrade is not just an accessory.

the wider placement lets you see more past the riders shoulders, which is both useful and looks good. Those simple mirrors on the Monster and the bike’s exposed frame make the set up look intentional rather than aftermarket.
