CRG Bar End Mirror Arrow Black (AO-100)

Been riding replica ones for a good amount and hated how the view are on them and how much it rattles at higher RPMs. Decided to bite to bullet and purchase these. 1st thing I noticed is the build quality. WAY better and sexier. Feels sturdier and of course, it didn't rattle. Fitted it onto a pair of rhinomoto barends. 2nd thing I noticed is that I get better field of view. allows me to see my blind spots. Only downside is that the objects I see in the mirror are smaller than what I'm normally used to seeing. I had to recalibrate my mind a wee bit and now it's all good. eg. when I'm about to do a lane change, if I see a car in the mirrors clearly behind me, tells me he/she's just directly behind me about 1-2 bikes away. knowing he/she's catching up and I see him/her at the edge of my mirror, means he/she is directly at my 7-8 or 4-5 o'clock. Downside to these mirrors (for me at least):- 1. is that the indents are limited to certain angles. eg, you're able to rotate the arm at 1, 3, 5 o'clock position. I set my replica ones directly below my grips at the 6 o'clock position and to me that's perfects. Unfortunately for these, I'm unable to so I have to set it inward a notch. 2. It's price 3. if you're planning to run rhinomoto mirror mount barends with these, you might experience it being blocked by the ends of the slider. Means you're able to position it above or below the 3/9 o'clock positions. you could possibly opt for the round or tapered button ones. (mine are the flat button ones.). No guarantees it might work as I haven't got the opportunity to try it out. Apart from that, It's an FAWESOME mirror! Definitely WAY better than the replica ones.

This may be the best money I have ever spent on a motorcycle accessory. Yes, they look great, but that is not why. What I did not realize before installing these is that the magnification level is less than OEM, which turned out to be a good thing. Between that, the wide placement of the mirrors on the end of your bars and the width of the Arrow mirrors themselves, I get an unbelievably complete, wide angle, unobstructed view of the world behind me and far to the left and right (great when on highways). These mirrors are impeccably made and have an incredibly high quality, precision fit and finish. They remind me of a precision machine or mechanism, like a fine watch. Incredibly functional, great looking and extremely well made. Read my review of the CRG adapters in case you don’t have hollow bars (like my ‘18 Suzuki GSX S750Z) and worry you might not be able to use these (you probably can)!

I have fiddled with the thought of buying these mirrors off and on, and for various bikes for YEARS. Finally just for grins I bit the bullet and did it. Are you tired of seeing your elbows? Sick and fed up with trying to see what that big black blur behind you is? Ever said "Where'd my friend go" to find out they're still right where you left them at 4 o' clock? (Ok.. stop drinking so much) You need these mirrors in your life. Not only do they look drop dead sexy, and clean up the elbow viewers most bikes come equipped with, but they certainly do the job if giving you a nice LARGE CLEAR field of view of whats around and behind you. I feel much better riding now, and when properly adjusted I have nearly a full 360* view around me! The image size is a little different, and takes some getting use to, but gone are the blurry buzzy images and atrocious blind spots and my ugly elbows from my rear views!

I put these on my 2003 Kawasaki Z1000. They make my bike look mean and sleek. Way better than stock mirrors. Due to the slight convex shape of the glass I am able to see all around me, even behind me. They don't vibrate at all up to about 70 mph. Above 70-80 mph very little vibration and not enough to make them less useful. The variety of mounting positions is very handy and once you set the position they don't move, period. The workmanship is top notch. I did have to cut the ball ends off my clutch and brake levers so they didn't hit on the mirror mounts. But that actually improved the looks of the bike as well. I was able to put these on the handle bars directly and then put my bar end weights right back on. So no mounting adapter was necessary for this bike. I would definitely recommend these mirrors.

I purchased this mirror to replace the pretty nearly useless rear view mirrors on my Ducati 1198. I have used bar end mirrors on other mounts before, so I knew in general the features and drawbacks to the bar end mirror. In the past I had used Napoleon bar end mirrors, and found that I only needed one on the left handlebar to obtain a comprehensive view of traffic behind me, on either side. This CRG mirror one can get with or without the handlebar insert. If you use the insert it sort of mounts up like the Napoleon, but without the insert, it really is a better product. The quality of this item is there. Some of the lesser products on the market mount up the clamp with the reflector assembly using screws, whether silver in color or not. This one does not. The clamp for the handlebar is perfectly sized, and the mirror holds its setting, once you get it where you want it. The mirror has a semi wide angle built into it, but it doesn't offer the same view that the Napoleon does, which is to be expected as it appears that the reflector part is probably 1/2 the square inches of the Napoleon. It has a fantastic profile and style to it, which while I appreciate the style points on this mirror, style is inherently a subjective evaluation. Once can mount the mirror in several different angles to meet one's unique needs. I chose this over the "lane splitter" as it has a wider view. I am pleased with this product and would recommend it to others.

These mirrors are exactly what you expect when you spend premium money for a premium product. They are very easy to mount as the screw threads in easily to the clamp on the mirror. They are also very stable. They don’t move around with the wind. I would highly recommend these mirrors to anyone looking to clean up the look of their bike while still having great visibility.

Excellent quality, cool design, and made in the USA! This is the fourth set of CRG mirrors that I’ve purchased, and I have never been disappointed. Don’t waste your time and money on cheap crap made overseas CRG is hands-down the best mirror out there.

I bought my Grom new in 2015 and somehow waited until NOW to change the mirrors. The stock mirrors are all but worthless unless you want to check on your elbows. Now that Utah has legalized lane filtering I finally decided enough was enough and swapped them for the AO-100. Seriously, best thing I ever did. Install onto my ProTaper SE Hon Mini bars was a total breeze. I did buy the bar end adapters as I wanted the mirrors as far to the outside of the bar as possible, but the clamp on this mirror will fit a 7/8" bar without the adapter if you move the controls and grips in about 10mm. I mounted the mirrors "upside down" because the clutch lever does hit the pivot point of the mirror with them installed the "normal" way. However, I actually like the look even better, and the functionality is perfect in either position. The size is just right for the Grom, and with the ratcheting feature I can easily flip the mirror under the grip when I park the bike. As for the view--I literally said "wow" out loud on my first ride with these. Positioned just right, I was able to see the entire lane next to me (left lane on the left mirror, right lane on the right) AND my own lane directly behind me. From the left mirror I could see the passenger side headlight of the car behind me, and from the right mirror I could see the driver side. The field of view is simply unbelievable! No vibration, no glare, and just the right size. I can't imagine a better mirror for a motorcycle. Bottom line is I honestly don't know how I ever rode without mirrors like this. It's like I was blind and now I can finally see. 5 stars doesn't do this mirror justice. Buy it; buy it now.
