Apart from being ugly and make you bike a bit wider can't see a problem

I love the look of them on naked bikes.
I have some for my Bandit, but haven't got around to putting them on yet.
The Napoleon mirrors are a good size, but I have smaller (cheaper) ones.

Very clever mate.
There they go, gone. Good to have a beer today too.
Back to topic, I am not sure how 'bar-end mirrors would look on a S model. They are pretty cheap, I got mine for about $35 delivered. I figure if I don't like them I'll just take them off and it hasn't cost me much.
