Certainly good value and they look good, as I have posted previously I do not really want the extra width that the bar ends bring as my daily commute involves a lot of filtering. Keep us posted on how you go on.
Right, the fleabay bar end mirrors arrived and were fitted. For the money they are excellent and served their purpose which was to decide if like the look and more importantly what I can see compared to the Micky Mouse ear mirrors it came with. I knew when I bought them that they weren't particularly big, however, using them confirms that they give a better rear view than the originals if a little restricted due to size. Now I know that I like them I have bought the Triumph bar end mirrors which I fitted yesterday. These are larger and give a much better view of what's going on around me. With the Triumph mirrors you get all the bits necessary to plug the holes left by the original mirrors so things look very tidy.

Apologies, I seem to have missed your question completely until this morning. No the fly screen is a Triumph original. I picked it up off fleabay for £35 and it was even the right colour! It was originally on a Bonnie the same year as mine but the owner removed it the day he took delivery of the bike having decided that it looked better without it. He then stored it in his garage and discovered it while having a clear out, the original bike is long gone. He's now riding a Tiger.
I rejected the first set of bar-end mirrors I bought (only £8.99 on ebay so no loss) too small and stuck out from the bar end too much for my liking and I had to look down too much. Went back to stock for a while but bought another set for £33.99 off ebay, which look similar to Triumph ones but cost much less. Much better looking than the old set.
Hi Steve, you do know that you could have installed the "cheapies" so the mirrors are over the bars, rather than stuck out ??
I did Dave but didn't like the feeling of sticking my hand underneath the mirror - it felt too restricted
Bit late to the post, but I just got these off fleabay. Look pretty good quality on first inspection. Hope to get them fitted this weekend, pics to follow if all goes well?!
Mirrors are on and tested. Pretty good view as they are slightly convex, just have to glance down a little more. However this isn't an issue as I spend most of the time looking where I'm going!
I'm really tempted to change the OEM ones but I spend a lot of my daily commuting filtering through traffic and the bar end mirrors may be a bit more restrictive. Let us know how you go on Beardy.
No commuting for me so not an issue. You can mount them so the mirror stalk comes out the top, this is a slightly more practical position and won't stick out as much.
Thats the mirrors i have fitted and even with my wider tracker bars , filtering in traffic is possible guys.
Excuse me guys. Wich is the size of the NEwchurch handle bar (i guess its the same for T100). 7/8" or 1" ?. I want to buy Napoleon rear mirror and they have both sizes. Not sure about it. Thanks
Measure to be sure Knopfler, don't guess it. I can't see anybody being able to tell you 100% without seeing and measuring the bars or inserts.
The 865cc Bonny T100 has 1" bars but I'm pretty sure the rest of the Bonny range has 7/8th" bars so you're best off measuring them.
Standard Triumph bar ends on my street twin, very functional with good rear views, much better than the standard mirrors. These mirrors do stick out a bit, but no vibration problems, but agreed are vulnerable in a spill. I previously used Halcyon bar end mirrors on a Triumph, but they were pretty big and awkward and didn't look right.
