Vermont ride with the K and the GF
« on: September 10, 2012, 01:04:20 PM »
What a great week-end it was!

Left Quebec's eastern townships toward Jay Peak, then Montpelier, Waterbury, went back up to Stowe and drove back by Smuggler's Notch (the 108), absolutely amazing! One of the best roads I've ridden so far.

Can't wait till those Mickey-mouse-ears mirrors are gone and replaced for clean bar-end CNC ones, and to have the wider and lower handlebar installed.

PO of my bike installed bar-end mirrors on my C-bars. These particular guys are non-convex, and its very hard to get them to point "out" enough to cover the next lanes. I think the bars are swept too far back for these particular mirrors. Plus, above 80 the wind catches them and turns them in even farther. Rode my friends F650GS Dakar recently, what a difference. I'm going back to the OEM jobs. Just need to find bar-end plugs now. MAX's says they're NLA. Wanna ship me yours?

Mac -

I could def sell you my original mirrors! Do you have a pick of your bike with those mirrors you currently have? I'm quite curious..

Also I'm changing the bars, ditching the Cs for something wider like I said, and lower.

Email me brochu.g@gmail.com

Thanks

I have the original mirrors for my bike, was looking for bar end caps...But now i'm thinking that maybe the bike never had caps and the PO just cut the ends off the grips? Can you confirm?
(my no-OEM-caps theory is based on the description of some grips on beemerboneyard)

I have those same grips (but heated) on the bike, with plugged ends. Therefore no end caps..
