I'd do a quick search for a motorcycle wreckers in your neighbourhood and just pick up a cheap pair from a wrecked bike.

Failing that e-bay can be your best friend, I got a pair of bar end mirrors I'm to lazy to install for $40.

Chrome

Billet Bar Ends

Oval Cross

Joker Mirrors

There's lots more as well.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Kuryakin has some pretty nice looking mirrors though you also have to buy a metric adapter if you'll be putting it on a japanese bike.
