Pics of bar-end mirrors on KZ's

If I wanted to mount mirrors on the end of my handlebars, would I have to buy some open ended grips and just move the grips towards the center of the bars? It's probably a stupid question, but I would like to see some pics anyone may have of these style mirrors on their KZ. Thanks!

OEM mirror positions are where they are quite simply because thats the best/safest place for them. Deviating from those positions means an ever decreasing area of rear view coverage. :blink: blah...
Just something to think about...
I like the chopper style mirrors that emgo has personally. They retain the origional viewing angles pretty well, but are slimmer and newer, and cooler
Cheers, n' good luck!

Roy-b, did you make those aluminum (?) header flanges or does somebody sell them?

Bike bandit part #563798-001 $19.32 HOLDER-EXHAUST PIPEThat wasn't a stupid question at all, I wondered the same thing about the closed-end grips.
