Finally, I decided to get the Puig Explorer for my Ribelle. I addition I replaced the mismatching Brembo mirror mounts.
These mirrors are really adaptable in multiple ways, so it should be possible to find a setting suiting your personal needs.

For anyone interested in the details:
The original mirror mounts (Brembo) are affixed with two M6 x 30 mm (overall length, threat 25 mm) on the handlebar.
The CNC racing mounts need two different screws, M6x30 and M6x25.
The original mirrors themselves are made by FAR. The tap holes on the mirrors are M10 (normal thread). The threads on the mounts are M8 (left side normal thread, right side lefthand thread (!)).
Be advised that if you need a replacement of the righthand M10/M8 double-thread screw connecting the mirror to the mount, you are in trouble. The combination of M10 plus M8 lefthand thread are hard to find. Therefore consider to change the mount threads to M8 or better M10 with normal thread.


Besides that: I got the mirrors at a Spanish shop named Motocard. They first sent me wrong mirrors and when I got the right ones three weeks later, a pair of screws were missing. Because of this underwhelming customer service I cannot recommend to buy there.

What's a good mirror slot blocker to fit the Ego?

Are you looking for block off plates for the factory mirror mounting locations?
The EGO mirror bolt holes are 40mm on center. Based on my research this is the same as that used on Honda CBR600RR bikes. These should fit

Alternatively you can just use 4x M6 flange head bolts with some plastic washers underneath to protect the paint.

Just make sure the bolts you use are not too long/ If you use the factory length bolts without the mirrors you will damage the carbon fairing/dash support.

Broke one of my bar end mirrors, and found these replacements.  Really good quality and ridiculously inexpensive.  Recommended.

those look nice.  is it wierd having the mirror sticking out the handle bar, seems like you'd hit it with your hands when moving / leaning etc.  granted they'd be off, on the track but, for me it'd be a bit odd.  my ego does not have turn signals so id have to use hand signals and having to move your hand around it to stick it out would be off feeling.

i do like how they are sticking out a bit further, give you a better angle of the road, along side you and behind you, get a better look.

The mirrors articulate on a ball joint, so they fold in for storage.

I like the lever protection offered in case of a drop, and the forward position of the mirror minimizes the need to shift focus from the road ahead while looking behind.

I loved the CRG bar-end mirrors on my SS9, and thought it increased my traffic awareness. No vibrations, and a much better field of view than stock for me. The bar-end mirror glass survived the first drop without shattering, and the glass was cheap to replace when it did shatter the second time. I found that it made it easier to judge distances relative to my pinky fingers. The bar-end mirrors felt less likely to touch car and truck mirrors in traffic, and would fold if they did.

Bar end mirrors are nice. linking image to not break the table.

Im going to have to get a set of these for the Ribelle.  This looks a lot easier to take them on / off than the OEM ones when I take the bike to the track.  They DO look nice, was wondering if they got in the way with hand movement.  Ill soon find out.

Thanks everryone
