Can additional "bar end" mirrors give me a better view behind me?
I love the look of the stock mirrors on my '08 250R and I don't want to replace them, even if I can't see well around my fat ass. Can I augment them with bar-end mirrors and gain added visibilty behind me, or do bar-end mirrors typically have worse viewing angles? Heck, even if they are worse, all I need is a little extra visibility behind me. They don't need to give better visibility over the stock ones if I can adjust the stock ones for viewing parallel lanes and the bar ends for viewing behind me. Sound like a plan?
Also, when they say that they can be installed "into or onto" the end of the handlebars, does that mean that I can still install bar-ends or sliders outside the mirrors? You know, like this: LeftBarEnd-LeftBarEndMirror-LeftHandGrip-RightHandGrip-RightBarEndMirror-RightBarEnd.
I kinda want to buy some matching bar ends from the same seller, but not if the mirrors effectively "replace" them.
