1) are you adding these as an extra mirror and taking off the factory ones, or are you going 3 mirrors now and 4 in the near future?

2) down low makes it look a bit more cafe style...i think high or low is just preference.

3) there is no 3

Right now, I have the bar end mirror on the left and the factory mirror on the right.  As soon as I install the bar end mirror on the right, good bye factory mirror on the right. 

Thanks for the down low guidance.

is this the same model?

http://brammo.com/store/bar-end-mirrors/

when i get my Plus I plan low mirrors and maybe some paint and maybe the givi bags...need to see if the side bags are easy on and off...would ride most days without them, but would be nice for occasional shopping and such.

One could go all MOD and keep the orginal mirrors and add bar mirrors...and then just keep adding :)

By gosh, it sure is.  If I'd checked "the store" recently, I would've ordered it from them.  I notice, however, that they don't have the "optional internal mirror adapter" that they mention in the description.  

I'm a big value-shopper.  I'll definitely shop around for the best price I can find - and although they're close, I think I beat them.

LOL... the mods are cool.

Got the adapter in the mail today and installed the mirror.  :)
I also decided to try the "mirror below the bar cafe racer style" installation.
[smg id=269 width=400]
The bar ends don't match anymore, but that's not a big deal. 
[smg id=270 width=400] This is the side with the internal adapter.
[smg id=271 width=400] This is the side with the original bar end.

let us know how you like them low vs above...

i do admit that i like the cafe style a bit more...but that could be because it is different than normal...if every bike went cafe I would probably prefer mirrors above :)

is there a right and left mirror, or do you just get two of the same plus an adapter for the throttle side?

Gavin

this will be a mod I do as soon as I get my plus...any day now right?

The box says "left side" but it wasn't an option when I ordered.  I see no difference that would affect the ability to putting it on either side.

Hollywood Electrics carries the full line of CRG accessories.  I'd be happy to throw in free shipping in the US for Brammo Forum members.

Have you seen their new Arrow Mirrors?  Very cool on an Enertia!

Oooh... I like those Arrows. I really like the way they swing up for tight spaces. Too bad I'm already mirror-ed up.  What's the retail on the Arrow?

The Arrows retail for $109.95.  They really look great on the Enertia.  I'll post a pic this weekend.
