    Ebay $30 or less. Search bar end mirror. Lots of choices.

    Mine are the same as Barnone's, less than $20 including postage EbayHK, but there are cheap ones in USA - try these which look to be the same as ours:

    or these for bling? (7/8bars?)
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pair-...Q5fAccessories
    I have also seem them for a LOT less, like $6 in bicycle shops and you can easily enough make them fit.

    Its funny that was the first bike I was checking out when I first started looking at the imports...decided that it was just a touch TOO small to be feasible. I'm not terribly tall, but have long enough legs that I can't imagine that thing being comfortable...hence my interest in the bobber :)

    I'm curious if your's is as loud as barnone's. Let us know when you fire it up Saturday. Yeah, I know, you don't know how loud his is (was) but he described it as too loud to pass an EPA test. So I guess we'll have to rely on your opinion.

    I have a full crew coming by tomorrow my mom's husband and a few of the old timers he rides with want to check out the bike. I'm thinking that I'll check the valves as well, as described here.
    So the day starts with a trip to Ringling Brother's with my daughter, then back home.
    Got 2 new helmets ( an outlaw halfy ,& a Hawk full face) then the wife surprised me with a new Vulcan riding jacket

    I forgot to search ebay for the bar ends lol thanx for the links =)

    Make sure to use blue locktight on every last nut/bolt on these things. I wouldn't trust chinese QC what so ever, especially when your taking your life into your hands.
    I'm not surprised that countyimports is a sub of scooterdepot, and they are charging even more for the bike but hopefully their customer service makes up for it... They do seem pretty nice when I call in but that doesn't mean a thing if something goes wrong, they do however have a very good BBB rating and the reason I went through them was because a few people at chinariders said they had good experiences with them. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that scooterdepot is most likely the major importer for all of the china bikes/scooters and then just sells bulk to the rest of the shops all over the US.
    Still I'm pretty excited to get my hands on it, and where I live its perfect to tool around on =)
    I just need to make a surfboard holder to stick off the side =)

    Found a set of bar end mirrors in my junk box and put them on today.
    I think I like the ones that I have on my Q better but will run these for a while to see how they work out.
