Rizoma. Very pricey but outstanding quality!

Purchased mine at PJs Parts. Great customer service.

Rizoma knockoffs from Hong Kong. $24 shipped to Canada, stable at high speeds. Decent finish and quick shipping.

Thanks guys. Are you able to mount those to the OEM bar ends?

Yes. I used a longer replacement for the bar end bolt I got at Fastenal. Took the stock one in and asked for one 20mm longer. Cost less than $3.

I have the Rizomas as well. The only downside is that they don't fold. I mounted mine by turning small aluminum bar extensions that fit inside the hollows of the bar ends and are handlebar sized after that. I found longer 8mm Torx screws at my BMW dealer.

My '07 R1200R came with Rizomas, and after almost 3 years and all sorts of riding, I can say they're almost perfect. No vibration, flawless image, and very robust. The only quibble is that, unlike the Napoleons on my '84 R65LS, they don't fold in to save garage space. Either one is a good choice.http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8261/8667 ... 339f_c.jpg

No, kid, I won't do a wheelie. I'd fall on my ass.

I see that the Napoleon bar ends are now available again. They may take some adapting, but they are good quality and they fold. I have the on my R80 and like them a lot.

I've used napoleon barends on several bikes and they look and work great. Not expensive either.
