That's kinda like what I saw on the KTM that day, but upside down! He had the reservoirs above and forward, with the mirrors neatly tucked in behind, looked really clean, and he said he got a good enough view under his arms. If you have good situational awareness and rarely ride in traffic then mirrors are less important than they would be on a commuter.

Image Fitted these mirrors & I must admit for £10 they are great . I can now see what's behind! They wouldn't fit over the bar ends so I removed them. Think I ordered the wrong size as I had to find a slimmer rubber insert & nut to go inside the handlebar. Hit a ton and they stay put. Yay !

For what they are the cheapo rizoma knockoff bar ends are a very good mirror if you like that sort of thing.

Step 1 - hydraulic clutch conversion.
Step 2 - hidden "blindsights".
Simples!

Because if you don't have a clutch fluid reservoir then you can't very well hide a blindsight mirror behind it!
