CRG Bar End 3in. Diameter Hindsight Mirror - Hindsight LS Bar End Mirror HSLS-200 Review

I've had these mirrors on my bike for a few months now, and I couldn't be much happier with them. The quality is pretty much perfect. They're definitely a huge step up from some of the cheapo bar end mirrors you might see on the market, and well worth the extra money, in my opinion. The back of the mirror, the arms and the brackets are all nicely machined and finished.

Installation was quick and fairly painless. I removed the bar end weights, trimmed a bit off of the throttle tube, and just squished my grips up a bit. I clamped them on just over halfway onto the exposed bars, and tightened the bar end weights down against them to help ensure they were secure.

Not only are they nice looking and easy to install, but they also work very well. The mirrors themselves are large enough and slightly convex, giving you a very good picture of what's behind you. I had been afraid that the convex shape would make things too small, but it's so slight that it's hardly noticeable. You're simply able to see more than you would have been able to with a flat mirror. The quality of the glass is very good, as well, which also helps with image quality - no crummy, plastic mirrors here, and the glass is easily and cheaply ($12.50 on the CRG website, last time I checked) replaced via a single screw, if a break happens.

Finally, the folding mechanism (what differentiates the LS from the regular CRG Hindsight mirrors) has worked perfectly. I had read a review on webBikeWorld that mentioned problems folding the mirrors once they were tightened down. Instead of folding, the adjustment part of the mechanism would move. I haven't any such problem with my mirrors. They're securely mounted and adjusted, locking the ball mechanism in place and allowing the folding mechanism to move as designed. Perhaps the system has been improved since they reviewed them. I actually fold them in every day when I park, to minimize any potential damage that might occur if someone knocks my bike over (it's been backed into twice!). When I fold them back out, they always maintain their adjustment. Of course, living in California and having to deal with traffic from time to time, I also fold them in to lane-split at times. With a simple flick, they're out of the way, giving me a bit more room to move. Another quick flick, and they're back where they should be.

Oh, and one more thing - vibration. On my bike at least (first gen SV650), they're rock solid. That may have as much to do with bar end weights as it does with the construction of the mirrors. Whatever the case, vibration is a non-issue. I'd recommend keeping your bike's weights on, if you can!

I hope you found this helpful. If you have any questions, leave a comment, and I'll reply as best I can.

[Update, 12/4/2012] - Two years out, and I still love these things. They've even survived a couple of drops, without any glass breakage.
