I recently bought a pair of Motrax bar end mirrors, to replace my Napoleans.
I had heard the Motrax are just a cheap knock-off of a CRG, although they certainly look very similar. A couple of bumps and a setscrew round the outside of the glass show that they're not exact copies. The internal expanding collar/clamp is a bit cheap, but the CRG's, as I recall, were a real pain to use. I'm just using the clamp around the outside of the bar this time, which works well.
So far I am very happy with them. I was warned, and I think I read, to make sure the set screw that holds the glass in is kept tight (loctite). Altho' it's been a while since I had CRG's on my Hawk, I really think these are pretty darn close in quality, and the same in function. At $59 for the pair, as opposed to $65 each for CRG's, I'm happy.
BTW rather than buy online, from a picture, I wanted to have a good look at them before I bought them, and found them at Cyclegear in West Palm Beach.
YMMV
Cheers
