Having a dislike of mirrors sticking up in front of me I have been exploring various bar ends options in recent times - and have never been able to find any which did the job properly and which were usable at all speeds and didn't blur.

Until now.

Having just installed a pair of motogadget (following up an indicator tip from sideshow a few months back and rummaging around the website) glassless bar ends on both my 1000 and 500 I can only but recommend them as they do the job admirably and look good as well.

Very nice, I think the Oberon suit the standard Laverda better,The M.Gs would be great on a special or modern bike I reckon.

I agree.  I have never seen them before.  They are really nice and really well priced
 
Got one of thse for my Gilera Saturno (nowhere on the bar to mount a mirror).

Very nicely made, and also available in Silver:

My bar end mirror pivots 'up and over' easily when in traffic. Still functional above the hand too. First one I've used, came with bike. Took it off to use stock 70's bar mounted mirror. Soon reverted back. Seems to vibrate different frequency or something. Can actually see behind. It's old and made in Japan. Think I'll try to find similar for other bike. 
 
I am not a fan for bar end but need to use on the Cico and to be honest they are the best mirrors on any of the bikes.. and they aint cheap Chinese... called lane splitters by CRG

I have the cheap Chinese version of the CRG mirrors. They work well enough but quality is as you'd expect for a $20 product. I busted one of the aluminium parts just by tightening the clamping screws enough to stop it vibrating out of position. I ended up buying a second set just for spare parts.  ::)

Cheap Chinese mirrors on ebay
 
Someone has to build a quality one for them to copy.I once bought a cheap Chinese saber saw, it lasted as expected. Failer point as shit metallurgy. Its blade holding system  snapped like a carot.Bought a Metarbo once next, still going 15 years later.
 
Well Vince you get what you pay for. I've decided to boycott china as much as I can but it's near impossible. China needs to be put in it's place. Becoming the bully of the world.
 
100% Rob.They went from reasonably amicable to aggressively belligerent and dictatorial in the last 10 years. There belt and road policy of aid has real bite in its tail. There appears to be zero wiggle room and I hope to hell it doest end up going where it appears to be Major Conflict where no one wins
 
Yamaha copied DKW. Look to where that led them.
( so did BSA and look where that led them )

Often "made in " means assembled in, but made elsewhere.
