    Goodbye to Tiger 800 group after nearly 10 years after trading my Tiger for a 21 plate t120 on 1st March.
    Love the Bonnie straight away and now want to do a little bit of personalisation. Fitted the Dart Pirranah flyscreen which looks great and started to fit replacement mirrors in Black. A few people have said keep the original but I think the black mirrors are best. vision good with both. Have a look at the photo with 0ne of each fitted and tell me which suits the bike best. Next job will be replacing the orange turn indicators.

    So what do think oriiginalChrome or Black Mirrors.jpg

    Prefer the black but the round shape would suit the bike better! :D

    Hi Ajay and welcome to the forum :cool: I like the look of the black one, although some members have had trouble with the oval mirror movement as there is no securing screws to tighten. If they stay in place, cool :p

    Thanks Dartplayer, will keep the round chrome mirrors just in case the black mirrors loosen off.

    Great choice and welcome to the family. Do let the inmates see the new bike and the tiger if you can.
    Joe.

    Thanks for the warm welcome and advice over which mirrors to keep. Went out for a spin yesterday and was amazed at how utterly useless the oval mirrors were. So bad I had a massive artic lorry right behind me and all I could see were my elbows. swapped back to the original round mirrors as soon as I got home. Can't believe Triumph can design and sell mirrors which are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. Will try bar end mirrors in the next few weeks. Anybody got good suggestions on bar end makers. 20210309_125546c.jpg
