I decided to see if I could get better rear view than the stock mirrors provided. So, I decided to order a set of Motrax Bar End Mirrors (http://www.indysuperbike.com/customer/product.php?productid=113888) .

I will get some pictures of them installed on my '05 Raven R1 posted later.

The installation was a breeze. In order to get them mounted correctly:
1. Leave the stock bar end on
2. Remove the bolt that holds the stock bar ends.
3. Remove widening nut and 2 sleeves that come with the Motrax Mirrors
4. Turn the widening nut around and put it back on all the way
5. Screw mirrors into clip-ons through bar ends

This took all of about 15 minutes.

Now for the review:
I've been riding with them for a couple of days now.

Pros:
I've noticed that they do not vibrate at all . . at any speed.
Excellent rear view, completely unobstructed.

Cons:
Must take your eyes further off the road ahead than with the stockers.
For the long legged, the mirrors will hit your knees if you turn the bars to the stops.
:scared

This second con caught me off gaurd while turning into the underground parking at work the first time. Since then, I have made the adjustment of sticking my knee out prior to the stop.

Right now, I'm still leaning towards putting the stock mirrors back on. I'm going to give them another week or so before I do. I really like how much less obstructed the rear view is and how they don't vibrate at all. The stockers are pretty useless for seeing anything clearly at freeway speeds.

As promised, here are some pictures of it on my R1.

Other side

Whole bike.

Parking lot tip over :mad:

That's why I got the bar-ends mirrors, one of mine snapped.

I just replaced the stockers, but wanted to get pictures of this and document the install for the forum.

Exhaust is sweet, but I can't compare it to stock. I bought the bike done. :thumbup

you always ask that:lol

i want to know so i can prepare the wallet for the things i want to do to my baby. not a rich man you know

I never seen these mirror before, but have you tried installing them backwards. so the mirrors are over the bar not under. i don't know it might work:dunno but then again i never seen these mirrors

It's not what it set me back, it's what it set the previous owner back.

Including the bike, the previous owner claims to have spent $26K. I didn't pay that when I bought it (considerably less), but it was still a bit shy of the MSRP of a 06 LE.

For more details, go to my web-site (http://r1.netlore.org), for what exactly is on the bike.

I certainly thought about that, I never likes the idea of it being under, but what can't really be seen in the pictures is the curvature of the mirrors. It completely prevents them from being used that way.
