Normally they do not look that great, and a lot of times they don't provide the best visibility. This was exactly the case with our Yamaha MT-09 SP project bike. On previous builds we've used a combination of Rhino Moto bar end slider / mirror mounts along with CRG Bar End mirrors. You simply can't go wrong with products from these two companies, and we probably have their products on 4 or 5 of our builds. We put together a Bar End Mirror Kit for the Yamaha MT-09 that provides everything you need to mount aftermarket mirrors...
Rhino Moto Bar End Sliders: These trick parts from Rhino Moto, as shown in photo above, not only act as mounts for your mirrors, but they also act as sliders and protect the ends of your handlebars in the event of a drop or crash. Installation is very simple since these are designed to thread into the threaded inserts in the ends of the stock MT-09 handlebars. All you do is remove the stock bar ends with an allen tool, and the Rhino Bar Ends thread right in and replace them.
CRG Mirrors: We tested several different CRG bar end mirrors on our MT-09 project bike. If you want a traditional round mirror, go with either the 2" CRG Blindsight, 2" CRG Blindsight LS folding mirror, or the 3" Hindsight LS folding mirrors. We ended up going with the CRG Arrow mirrors on our MT-09, as shown in the photos above, because the angular look of these mirrors really works well with the angular design of the MT-09 gas tank and bodywork. All of these mirrors provide excellent visibility and do not vibrate. Additionally the LS style folding mirrors, and the Arrow mirrors, can be folded out of the way when necessary.
Mirror Hole Plugs: One thing to note, when you install these mirrors on the MT-09, you'll pull off the bikes stock mirrors, and on this bike, the right side mirror is actually holding on the brake reservoir. So, we also offer optional Yamaha MT-09 Mirror Hole Plugs to plug the holes left when removing the stock mirrors, and also hold on your front brake reservoir. See photo above. Which mirrors look best on the Yamaha MT-09? We get this question alot. Looks are obviously subjective, but we think the angular shape of the CRG Arrow mirrors best matches the lines on the MT-09, and that's what we're using on our MT-09 SP Project Bike. Our next favorite would be the 2" round CRG Blindsight LS, which is a mirror we use on several of our project bikes. If you want something slightly larger than the Blindsight LS, go with the 3" round CRG Hindsight LS. All of these CRG mirrors look much much better than the stock mirrors, and they are more functional as well since you can see much better out of a bar end style mirror.
