Anyone put bar end mirrors on their speedy? Particularly I'm looking at the Halcyon brand.

Wondering the same thing myself!! I love my low profile mirrors, but I really need either longer stalks to get them wider, not higher, to see around me better, or bar ends would do the trick, not sure how it would look tho... I have checked out newbonneville.com, but I think standard bonnie bars are a smaller diameter, no?

Right, Benny. The Bonnie bars are 1" as well. If you install bar ends on the stock bars, you'll need to monkey a bit to make them work with the stock bar end inserts. Nothing major, just longer hardware. If you have hollow aftermarket bars, mirrors are a snap.

Stock bars here Brent... I've never taken the bar end inserts out to know what I'm dealing with in there... Some sort of sleeve? For that matter I don't know how bar end mirrors typically go in anyway:) More interested in pictures at this point...
