Gonna take a pop on some cheap eBay mirrors . Why ? Well I find the stock mirrors work , it's just I think bar ends mirrors look smart and no idea on how much vision you get from them . Going cheap and not three pistons as I don't wanna spend loads n find I don't get on with them . Any one used these cheap mirrors n if so how ya find um ? I can imagine they flap about at speed etc .
Hi Snox, There's been loads of stuff on the forum about bar end mirrors. Type into the forum search box. Prices ranging from £7.99 to £200ish I still have the OEM mirrors on my Bonnie and they work for me.
I appreciate there is the search bar mate . Ya never know there might be better cheap mirrors out there from the last post on here etc .
There very well might be and the search bar will find them for you. Rich Bryce, Crispey and Steve Lovatt are good for starters.
Yes Mick, I fitted some cheapo fleabay mirrors for much the same reasons: The stock mirrors look like Micky Mouse ears. Half the view in them was my own elbows. They were under a tenner and gave an excellent view despite being quite small, the glass was slightly convex. My only criticism would be the optical quality of the glass is less than perfect but what do you expect for that money. You could see so much more in them than the standard mirrors. You need to see what's there not be able read the brand on their shirt. I deliberately went cheap because they were never meant to be a long term solution, I wanted to see how they looked and performed. I now have the Triumph bar end mirrors fitted. They are larger, give even better views of what's going on around you and the glass is optically excellent.
Just had a look in my fleabay purchase history and these are the ones I bought. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RYDE-CHRO...E-BIKE-PAIR-/350827023724?hash=item51aeeb8d6c When I had them they were £7.49 plus £2ish P&P
Cheers Mr toad . Exactly the kinda comments I wanted to hear . Seems I am gonna buy some n if I like um gonna go with three pistons . I really can't justify triumph prices . Thanks mate .
I've got Oxford mirrors on both my SE and my Street Twin. £25 from J&S or around £19 post free on Ebay. I park up outside a Triumph dealership three or four days a week and often get asked about them, including a chap today who reckoned them.
