Has anyone fitted the husqvarna round cnc bar end mirrors under the handlebars and if so can you see anything apart from your arm in them?
Thanks for any input.
Cheers

Can't help with fitted under the handlebars.
I have fitted some bar end mirrors similar to the Husqvarna mirrors but with an additional joint.
They are fitted above the handlebars and the visibility is very good.

What I can tell you is if they are ‘up’ they benefit from being more outward from the bar ends, like Toms ones above. If they are ‘down’ they benefit from being more inward from the bar ends but angled forward. This can cause interference issues with the tank or even your knees on full lock. My mirrors are almost teardrop shaped and can swivel around the fattest part so you can have them facing in or out. They have an arm that come down at 90 degrees to the bar end. When I tried mine (on Svart 401) up and in, I kept hitting my knuckles on them and could not see anything without moving my head. Up and out, we’re fine regarding hitting with hands a gave good visibility but I hated how they looked and kept bumping them when moving past my bike in the garage. Down and out, I cannot see anything at all. Down and in I get the best results but the angle of the arm and mirror is critical to what I can see behind and not hitting the tank sides. I think down for the Husqvarna round ones would not give much rear vision at all.
I bought cheap eBay ones for £7 a pair to try out with a plan of buying more expensive nice ones if I got on with them. I am still using them and can live with not spending more. I would find some cheap versions of the actual CNC’d ones you are thinking of getting and try them first. Unless money is not a problem for you.

Sorry, best pic I could find..
Also forgot to mention unless you are wearing an open face helmet you will have to look down if they are fitted under the bars.

Adding my bit here.

I wanted to get rid of the original mirrors. And since I have no experience with this, I decided to buy cheap ones from Aliexpress for 30 USD before I buy something else.

I have to admit that for 30 USD the quality is not bad, but it requires some custom manufacturing :-) The expander that comes with the mirrors is useless. I did my own using half of the original bar end as shown in the photo. It's still in the testing phase. I didn't spend more than five minutes on this.

First impression is that since the mirrors are down, you don't have a good overview of what's going on behind. Mirrors are blue. I would prefer clear ones. Finally, when you find a good angle setting, the visibility is not that bad. But you, of course, have to look down. With original mirrors, you literally only move your eyes. With this, you have to move the entire head...

But it looks super cool. Badass level 100 :-)

I've got these KTM copies from Aliexpress. They have great visibility and a fraction of the price of the real ones.

Hello, after putting on hand guards, I can no longer add mirrors to the end of the handlebars. So I plan to add a printed part so that I can add them.1000038880.jpg1000038879.jpg1000038876.jpg
 
Well, I'm pretty happy with the result, but there are two problems: the hand guards don't protect against the wind! And the vibrations eventually loosen the fastenings, causing the hand guard and rear-view mirror to end up upside down. So in town, you can ride around with your Allen key in your pocket, but in other contexts, it could be dangerous...
Idea abandoned !

In the end, I opted for the Yonsson solution with the 24MX hand guards. Thanks @yonsson , they do the job!

Any other wing mirror suggestions?

Also does anyone have the Part Number of the original OEM mirrors?

Use locktite. :) It’s needed for all screws on the bike.
