Good point. This was how I had them on the Enertia. I will check your idea out.

Do you know which bar ends for the Empulse bars?

The interior dimension of the bars on the Empulse is 18mm, so the .675"-.725" Mirror Mounts should probably work.

Thx Ain for helping me to spend more money :)

Ok...ordered the Rhino bar ends and a left lane split mirror...

In New Mexico you only need one mirror...

But I'm rethinking it and will likely get the right mirror too...I like the look of one mirror, but I'm not cool enough to pull it off...

I like the look of one mirror too...and you're totally cool enough to pull it off.

Well, hey, there's lookin' cool and there's stayin' alive. Despite Hollywood,  Madison Ave., those Italians, there are limits to style.

Yeah, the staying alive is the reason I'll probably get the right side mirror...

In New Mexico I swear the cage drivers are actively trying to kill you...it's not that they don't see you on a motorcycle....it's that they see you and want to harm you

These probably wouldn't work with bar end mirrors, but could still be a very cool mod

I watched his kickstarter video and indeed it does work with bar-end mirrors. It's definitely a cool idea. Not for me though. I prefer the visibility of a traditional turn signal with a lens. I feel tiny LED signals are too specular and easy to miss, whereas an illuminated lens provides a more diffuse light source.
