these r high quality mirrors
I installed mine on the bar end that came with this:

Problem with these is that you extend the width of the bike.
Have you/anyone considered something like this: 2x Motorcycle 7/8'' 22mm Aluminum Rear View Side Mirror Handle Bar End Universal | eBay ?

DucatiKev · Dec 26, 2019

Mine is vertical such that it doesn’t add width

Ah nice, do you have a picture?
EDIT: Hehe, I see we posted at the same time

KvalheimRacing · Dec 26, 2019

Have you tried installing them on the handelbar? Move the trottle and grip on the left inwords (and use regular bar ends)?

crappy pix for now, I left my bikes in Florida and I’m up in Philly now. I’ll take some next week. I just like the quality of these mirrors, they are tight but snap into position nicely. Also, vertical setup gives a nice rear view

There's a guy on the UK forum who has made adaptors out of CNC milled aluminium to allow you to fit folding 1199 mirrors to a V4. Here is the link......

I think they look a bit odd in the vertical position though

Finally ordered a set of CRG's tiny foldable 2" BSLS-100 mirrors for only $50.
This set seems to be succeeded from 2015 and on by CRG's LS2.2" mirrors?

Anyway, anything should be better than the shaky, fragile and UNfoldable OEM antlers?
We'll see...

Anybody has experience with Joker Machine Folding Bar End Mirror?
They look somewhat more rugged than CRG's BSLS-100 alternative.

I just noticed that the mirrors don’t fold and are quite cheap looking. What a joke!

Might be looking into getting rid of them altogether and fitting a backup cam setup. There was a write up on the s1000rr forum a while back. Probably cheaper than an aftermarket mirror solution.

Which mirrors from which brand are you talking about?

Sorry, not a native speaker. What's a "backup cam" are you talking about?

He is talking about mounting a rear facing camera and placing a video screen up front to supply the rear visibility instead of using mirrors.

Get a Motorcyle dash cam that has a screen can be mounted. I think saw a product like that on eBay.

Seems like a too complicated solution. You need to do wiering and stuff. The simplest solution is often the best

There is another solution: CrossHelmet X1 – Transform your riding experience or SKULLY Technologies

In the future there will likely be many more helmets with head up displays and rear view cameras. There was a rumor that BMW was releasing heads up display technology with the 2020 S1000RR which didn't happen, but I bet it is only a matter of time.

KvalheimRacing · Jan 2, 2020

Yeah, I actually has been waiting for the Skully helmet for 5years now. Would probably have to wait 5 more years. My plan was to use that and remove the mirrors. But since the helmet never arrived I ordered some handlebar mirrors.
For me it is very important that they don't build out much, since I do a lot of lane splitting. These only build out 1cm and look fabulous imho.
