Anyone find any mirrors that are more vibration resistant? The vibes are often so bad I couldn't tell if it was a cop SUV or a dumptruck, especially when I am in the 80+ mph range. Not to mention the stock mirrors don't stay in position when up into the triple digit speed range.

I swapped my mirrors using these mounts from Amazon: Amazon.com I live in New Hampshire and trailer my bike to Daytona every March and the bar end mirrors were just awkward and would've hit the side of the trailer (there's also a trike I haul down). The new mirrors look great and there is no vibration as the mounts have a rubber insert.
What mirrors do you have attached to this mount?
 
I found them great with no need to replace. the mirror shape is teardrop, I’ve seen them inverted (new storm) where the bulge of the teardrop is pointing to the outside. This will give you more handlebar clearance but also a better viewing picture with the bulge on the outside. Easier to lanesplit now, maybe 3 inch gain. Mine was with the bulge to the inside on delivery. will post pic later…

when looking in your mirrors or instrument cluster (Car or bike) you will briefly take your eye off the road, this is normal at least for me. what you do want is the largest/clearest picture, hence the bulge to the outside. hope this helps…

Great idea, easy 10s improvement.
 
Hi,

This morning I received the mirror supports that I had ordered on Ali. I also decided to dismantle the brake master cylinder mounting and realized that these **** English people just put a 32 cover on a 22 mm handlebar... As a result I managed to mount a half support with the thread for the mirror! It's not great in terms of looks but, while waiting for better, it does the job...

Hello, I was unable to find the mirror supports used by "talkriver". Therefore I decided to make my own personal supports.
I had specific steel axles made by a turner which fit in place of the brake and clutch lever axles and which have a 10 x 1.25 female thread in order to screw in my new mirrors on it. It seems to work correctly, I will test everything during the week to definitively validate the assembly. What cost me the most was manufacturing the custom axles (€80), the mirrors cost €75 per pair. And I could finally throw the original mirrors in the trash...

Here is the result:

Hi Talkriver, can you explain to me what parts you put to fill the space between your grips and the end of the handlebars since you installed your new mirrors? Custom piece?
