Adjustable Motorcycle mirror set
First off I like the mirror set very well . Shipping was quicker than normal , Mirrors are good with a very nice finish on them . No complaints at all ! I did have a mounting problem with them and that to no fault of the seller ! I got just what I ordered , so this is it , My factory stock bars had a bar end mounted in it , after removal of bar end the bars had a non removable threaded plug welded in place to lock in bar ends witch you do not use after mirrors are installed . I could not use hardware that came with My new mirrors or the rubber that would lock them to the inside of the bars . I had to fabricate two spacer blocks round with a through hole in center to fit inside end of bars and be flush to the mirror side plate to keep them true , and use a off the shelf 8mm Hex head bolt by about 2in. long and through bolt them into the factory thread hole . if your bars are open you would not have this problem . So after My install the mirrors are perfect . I removed the lolly pop factory mirrors and it looks nice an clean now .

FAIL: LOOK GREAT!! GOOD VISIBILITY -- until you start MOVING... then will NOT stay adjusted. They droop.
Bought these for my DR-Z400SM. They LOOK great. I use them turned in. They absolutely will NOT stay where you adjust them. Bumps in the road make them go out of adjustment. Rapid acceleration make them go out of adjustment. Driving faster than 40mph make them go out of adjustment. Everything makes them go out of adjustment. They will not stay adjusted unless you are NOT riding/moving. The replacements they sent me were the same -- except one of the replacements had distorted glass. I'm so disappointed. This is exactly what i was looking for as far as looks and functionality -- except they will NOT stay adjusted correctly. If they would stay where i set them, i'd be thrilled with them. But no. This seems impossible. I'd glue them, but the problem is, i sit differently when i have a passenger, so i need to be able to adjust them.

Good mirrors but need better mounting.
To Start off, I really like the look of these mirrors. The blue tint is nice for the sunny days. After reading the other reviews, I think I got lucky because my mirrors are not distorted. I can see the cars behind well but I wish they were a bit bigger so I could see the road a bit further back. They were pretty simple to install, all I needed was a 5mm hex bit. I had them on my bike for about a week before I ended up switching back to the stock mirrors. When I exceeded 8000 RPM on my bike, the mirrors became loose, rotated, and would now swing with movement. I feel if the rubber mounts that go into the tubes were longer, it would hold much stronger. The mirrors are all metal and rubber construction. Its a shame that with such a good build quality, they did not have a good enough mount.

They look great and function okay
They look great and function okay. Relatively tight fit but there is some minor movement from vibration. After fully tightening once on the road they become just hand tight and I am able to move adjust them with my hands (shouldn't be able to do this). I found the picture to be a little too small and never really felt comfortable relying on them. Ended up going back to mouse ears.If you are used to and comfortable with bar ends then these are a good option at a good price

I bought to put on my Suzuki tu250. They fit good, just that you really have to torque the adjustment screw to stiffen them up. But once set they are not moving.solid all metal material.was going to give 4 because the finish was not perfect and i suspect it may in time it may flake, but then considering the price its totally worth it

Not compatible with Honda bikes
Though the description specifically mentions that these bar ends are compatible with Honda motorcycles, they are not. Honda handlebars apparently all have a big lead weight in them that the stock bar ends screw into. These bar ends ship with a bolt that is too large to screw into the handlebar weights. As a result, I have gone through a variety of different attempted hacks to get these to work, still to no avail.To help you follow my explanation: The mirrors come as five parts:1. The mirror with its stem and a collar that fastens down on the bar end.2. A hard plastic split cylinder that fits between the bar-end and the mirror assembly's collar.3. A bar end with a lip on the outside edge to keep the mirrors from falling off the ends.4. A foam/rubber tube that is designed to fit inside a hollow bar end and squish down fat enough to press-fit the mirrors onto the bars.5. A bolt w/ nut that holds all the other pieces together.I would post pictures but I have now modified almost all of those parts.My first thought was to remove the stock handlebar weight. But I looked up the process on YouTube where I found a bunch of different videos that show how to do it, and that it's a pain and may destroy your handgrips. Reportedly removing the weights would result in greatly-increased vibration while riding. So I scrapped that idea.Second, I tried to use the stock bolts in a slightly longer length to affix the mirrors. Unfortunately, that doesn't work very well either. The holes boared through the bar-end mirror assembly are too large for the Honda bolts, so the mirrors start tipping back towards the rider at just about 40mph/65kmh—no matter how hard you crank in the bolts. Plus, the rubber tube designed to press-fit the mirrors into a hollow handlebar is too long to fit down inside the limited free space inside the bars and before the bar weight. I chopped one of the rubber tube-things in half and that seemed much closer to the right size, but it didn't fix the movement at speed.Third, I decided to try to affix the mirrors to the stock bar ends instead of the contraption they come with. That also didn't work. The stock bar ends are designed to rotate a bit and the mirrors wobbled so much that I couldn't see anything.Fourth, I decided to epoxy the stock bolts into the holes boared into the mirror's provided mount. That worked better than any of the earlier options, but cranking the right-side mirror down so that it wouldn't get pushed back at moderate speeds ended up making my throttle stick. I also cracked the aluminum stem of the mirror trying to tighten the collar enough so it wouldn't move at speed. Fortunately, it's just a small crack and seems to be holding up ok for now.My next step is to going to be replacing the cut-in-half rubber tube on the right-hand side with the remaining full-size one and see if that frees up the clutch while keeping the mirror fixed. The downside of that is that I'll end up with a gap between the bar end and the handgrip, with just this skinny little rubber thing between. I will update my review if that hack works.If you have a Honda bike, don't bother, these won't work for you.If you don't have a Honday bike, maybe they'll work better for you than they have for me. I got these mirrors for the aesthetic and they look great. One of mine is a little distorted but I can't really tell when I'm driving and they've not spun out of place.ref: 2006 CB600F4 (599, Hornet) but I've heard that the Honda bar weights have been stock across all Honda street bikes for at least 20 years.
