Review on CRG ARROW BAR END MIRROR by Harley Franchetti

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much better field of view

Driven replicas for a good crowd and hated their looks and how much they rattle at higher revs. pay attention to the processing quality. MUCH better and sexier. Feels firmer and certainly doesn't rattle. Installed it on some Rhinomoto bars. The second thing I noticed was that my field of vision improved. lets me see my blind spots. The only downside is that the objects I see in the mirror are smaller than what I normally see. I had to recalibrate a bit and everything is fine now. When I'm about to change lanes, when I see the car clearly behind me in the mirrors, it tells me he/she is right behind me, about 1-2 bikes away. Knowing that he/she is catching up and I see him/her on the edge of my mirror means he/she will be right at my 7-8 or 4-5. The disadvantages of these mirrors (at least for me): - 1st is that the edges are limited to certain angles. For example, you can rotate your hand to the 1, 3, 5 o'clock position. I installed my replicas just below the 6 o'clock cranks and it's perfect for me. Unfortunately I can't do that, so I have to install it in the hack.2. This is the price of 3. If you plan to use Rhinomoto mirror mounts with this you may find that they get blocked by the ends of the slider. That means you can position it above or below the 3/9 o'clock position. You can choose round or pointed buttons. (I have flat buttons). There is no guarantee this will work as I haven't been able to try it. Plus, it's an AMAZING mirror! Definitely much better than the replicas.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
