I like bar end on the left better anyway.

I gotta say with the high bars, I like the original (see here). But overall, I like the flat bars with a pair of napoleons. Don't bother with the cheap Emgos.

Sorry I can't help with finding a pair.

Lovely looking 'final derivative' CB!

Plenty of OEM mirrors on eBay; the original CB mirrors are NLA, but lots of later NOS C/CA pairs with the preferable, slightly-convex glass. The lateral (fore-aft) angle needs to be lowered by a few degrees -- unless you're into plane spotting to your rear -- but it is simply-achieved with a vice and a little care.

Let me know if you'd like expansion upon my successful method.

Thanks to all for the imput. I like the flat bars. Got one, but gotta drill and pull the wires through and reconnect for the clean look. Like the original mirrors best with the flat bars. I guess the lower look appeals to me. Thanks again.

I, too, prefer the flat 'bar if only for nostalgia (for me, personally). The ride does become pretty uncomfortable after a while, though; too much weight on the wrists and goolies!
