Bar end mirror suggestions

Have bar end mirrors on two bikes. I think they are Empco mirrors.
Am interested in replacing them with ones that are convex & have a better view.
Any suggestions?

Look similar to the ones I have on the 550, they do slight magnifying lenses on them as my left and right are slightly different.

Yeah. The mirrors you got from me are definitely Emgo. A synonym of Cheapo. Can't say I've seen any convex. Then again I don't pay much attention to them. Too wide for my dinky garage

Problem solved.
Got Napoleon AP-104 mirrors via eBay.
They are made in Japan, convex, black & look similar to the awful mirrors that were on the bike.
Uses a rubber mounting that expands to hold the mirror when mounted.
Can be a bit fiddly to mount on the throttle side because tightening down the mirror mount also pulls mirror in towards the handlebar.
Much like the Suzuki anti-vibration mirror mounts, the mirrors can shake quite noticeably at idle but are clearer when driving.
