To actually add to the thread...
I had them on my old Yamaha Radian. I didn't like them for all of the reasons that Superstudd brought up. They vibrated like mad, they were too small, and they made the bike look odd.
I really couldn't ever tell ANYTHING that was behind me. I got rid of them after a few weeks and went back to the stock mirrors.

Hmmm....I've had them on two bikes, one being an older harley (meaning it vibrated alot) and never had either pair vibrate at all, not even a little bit. Now the standard mirrors did for sure.
I find they give me a better view behind since they do stick out more. For example, I am about to try them on the ninja because I find no matter how I adjust the mirrors, I get that clear view of my elbow.
Lane splitting....now that is why I got the lane splitters Just fold them up and go.
So you see opinions for both sides. Unfortunately they are an expensive item to just try out.

I don't get what I'm supposed to be looking at there...there's a LOT of pictures of bikes, but I don't see any with bar end mirrors...

AHHHHH...
I didn't remember that your bike has the signals built into the mirrors...
In that case, go for it...but maybe try to find them locally so you can take them back if they vibrate too much or you don't like them.
