Anyone has any experience with the CRG bar-end mirror installation? Do I need anything other than just the mirrors for the installation? To be specific - do i need to buy the Billet Internal Adapter also?

I installed them.
Yes, you will need the internal adapters. You will need to remove the stock bar-end weights and discard them, sell them, or whatever. You won't need them anymore. The installation is very straightforward. I would suggest getting some Lock-Tight, or some other kind of thread lock to ensure the bolt on the adapters doesn't vibrate loose while cruising down the highway. That would suck.

p.s. - and welcome to the sight. You'll love the mirrors, very low profile and probably more effective than the stockers once you're used to them.

I didn't use the adaptors with mine. I used the clamp ons. They don't wobble when riding, but they are not as tight as I'd like them to be. When I feel like messing around with them, I'll probably install the adaptors for a proper fit.

thanks a lot for the responses.. seems like the general consensus is that the adapters definitely help... at least with the CRG mirror.. will let u guys know how it went for me... again.. thanks a ton! :)
The adapters are well worth the money.

Would the CRG mirrors work with the Oberon motorcycle bar end indicators?
I originally took off the stock bar ends, then fitted the mirrors around the smaller portion of the bar ends. I used a couple of old washers to shim out the throttle side so it didn't bind and used the stock bolt plus some loctite to put the whole thing back together.
The adaptors might make it easier, but they're not necessary.
While I fitted my new bars I just left enough room at then ends to clamp them directly to the bars.
