Yup, but they do make the bike a fair bit wider. I rode with bar end mirrors for a while and I was always whacking them off things... I used cheap plastic mountain bike ones, which was fine, but more solid ones would have been a problem. I know a lot of people say it's not an issue, but if so then they're just not going through narrow gaps, or perhaps they have very wide exhausts or luggage.

So, enter:

The CRG lanesplitter- whole thing is hinged, much like a curvy model mirror, so it can be popped in and out. Genius. Incredibly expensive, but still genius.

Those ones are 3", which is a fair size... But I prefer big sticky out mirrors like the carbed bike has, myself, especially when properly hinged. It's a good fix for people with visability problems though.
