Does any company make mirrors that will fit our 1299's. At this point I dont care if they have turn signals built in. I hate moving the inside mirror around to see is instead of moving the whole housing like on other bikes or aftermarket mirrors that i have on my s1000r and s1000rr
 
CRG Arrow bar end mirrors. Work great and have zero vibration and easily adjustable. I was never a fan of bar end mirrors but I'm a fan now.
 
Rizoma does too, they are bar end. I got the CRG arrow on my s1000, I think they are the best out there

I want to get rid of my stock mirrors off my 1299 but just didn't know if bar ends would look right on it.

I was like you and thought bar ends didnt belong on sport bikes but i finally caved and got the arrows and i have to admit i really like the look. The arrows have a shape that still looks sporty. Ive only been out once on them for a quickie and couldnt see anything but im hoping its because the position wasnt right and im sure it takes a bit of time to get used to.

If you couldn't see anything, it's definitely because you don't have it lined up correctly. Fact is, the visibility on the Arrow mirrors are much much better than stock. May take some getting used to and there's no denying that but you can not only see in the side lanes but you can also see directly behind you in the same lane. As far as looks go, it looks great on the bike and for sure doesn't look like it doesn't belong on the bike. Looks much better than stock and functions night n day better than stock.

Did you put it on one side or both? Got any pictures of it?

I have a real hard time with the stock mirrors. There is just not enough adjustability with it. im 6'1" though. not sure if that plays into it?
 
I have the Driven D-Axis Bar End Mirrors in the red an black combo. I was like everyone else and didn't know if I would like the look, but it grew on me and they are tons more functional than stock mirrors.

Both, i have major OCD about things being equal. The SS swingarm is fine because the beauty of it is distracting my OCD
 
I've got my mirrors set to give me a view to my rear and partial sides. Absolutely no vibration and crystal clear. The Rhinomoto bar ends have grooves specially for CRG mirrors plus replaceable sliders. I have my mirrors mounted with a slight downward angle, following the bars angle I think. When parked I turn them up to the next notch to make the bike narrower. CRG's are pricey but worth every penny.

I do miss checking out my shoulders though.
