    So after long consideration I broke the bank again and ordered a pair of DoubleTake Adventure Mirrors. The reason behind this is because I really dislike the aesthetics of the OEM mirror and it wasnt really wide enough which causes me to constantly adjust it to see anything through it. I've tried cheapo Chinese Rizoma replica's but the glass they use have a magnification of 20% which really messes with your view so after a week riding with those I tossed them again. Then I went and got me some generic mirrors that are used on many Kawasaki naked bikes. I got this idea from some other topic here. They look good and the view rearwards is pretty decent but the vibrations are terrible (especially left mirror) and will make it impossible to see anything at high speeds.

    Today I installed the DoubleTake mirrors and I will post an update after a month or so of my experiences with these. If any of you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope the rubber ball studs and RAM arm will reduce the vibrations in the mirror.

    So these are the generic mirrors with standard glass I had installed before the DoubleTake Mirrors:

    This are the contents of the package that I received directly from DoubleTake in the US. You can just go to their website and choose Husqvarna as your bike and order your own parts. They will bolt right up. The TR650 has a 10 mm x 1.25 mirror thread for those wondering.

    I then used a bit of Loctite on the ball stud to prevent accidental loosening due to vibrations. I first tightened it by hand and then used the RAM arm to fasten it further.

    The result, you can really see the implemented aspheric glass in the second picture:
