I have some Gilles 28mm low bars mounted with CRG bar end mirrors.

That looks pretty good! I plan on doing the same but adding the circular CRG bar end mirrors.

I have ordered FT bar and I would like to know, what manufacturers offers bar end mirros that fits like a glow?
I don't have the bike yet so I can't be 100% sure but check out the CRG hindsight lane splitter bar end mirrors. From the pictures iv seen those would be your best bet. Unless you're not looking for the classic circular mirrors!

Thanks! Revzilla has a review of them. Rizoma Spy-Arm looked also good.

Very nice! I'm planning on doing something similar. Have a Rizoma handlebar on order. will be mating those to a Rizoma throttle and Retro round bar end mirrors.

Going retro I see... Good choice. I'm sure it will look great with the circular bar end mirrors.

Awesome, make sure to post some pictures. Interested to see how they look with the round bar end mirrors.
It's not legal to lane split here in Washington, but yeah it sticks out a bit more on each side now. If you lane split in tight situations i'd probably use mirrors that mount to the stock location, or bar end mirrors that fold in like the CRG Hindsight Lanesplitter.

Is your bike the one getting the full Shift-Tech treatment?

No, I don't. The mirrors have multiple positions, so when it gets tight, I flip them up a little over my hands.

My Monster is Shift-Teched out, but I don't want to go all out on the Scrambler like i'm used to. So i'm going to have little carbon here and there considering I like really like how the yellow brings out the carbon as well.

Question for anyone who has either replaced the bar ends/installed bar end mirrors on the FT bars (or other Scrambler bars) specifically.
The OEM bar ends that come with the Scrambler (the FT at least...not sure about other models) are a little different than the others I've removed in the past.
There is a hex bolt that goes through them, but even if I back it all the way out, the bar end seems to be jammed in there really tight.
If I look through the thread, I can't tell if it's the same "mushroom" compression mechanism as standard bar ends or something different.
Normally, when you back off the hex bolt, the bar end gets looser and you can more of less pull it out. Not so here.
Anyone remove them successfully? Do I just need to put the vice grips to them and yank them out?
Appreciate any advise from someone who has done it.

Just replaced mine the other night...
Loosen the screw in the end, but don't completely remove it. Then take a standard screw driver and fit it loosely into the groove between the stock bar end and the end of the bar itself. Gently tap with a hammer to drive it out.
It's only a piece of cheap plastic, you'll see what I mean.

Ok, that's what I suspected. Thank you very much for the pointer. You know when you start reefing on something and damage it, only to find out you were doing it the wrong way? Been there. Done that and definitely want to avoid it with the new bike! LOL.

I used a flat screwdriver and gently tapped them out going side to side. Simple to remove
I used an oil filter remover - it's a rubber belt so doesn't damage the end.
