    Hi,
    Just joined the forum today after picking up my Speed Triple R 94 at the weekend. However I find the mirrors pretty useless as I can't seem to see past my elbows. So what are your thoughts on Bar End mirrors???. Are they any good??...

    Hi and welcome in. I have bar ends on my thruxton and they work fine for me, 2 slight draw backs are that they make filtering in traffic a little more hazardous, you can fold them up though. And secondly it's more of a head movement ,rather than a glance, to check what's behind you

    Hey Craig, when you're looking for bar-ends, make sure you know what size bars you've got. Either 7/8th inch or 1 inch diam.

    Welcome Craig, have a look at mirror extenders (around £10) - puts them out and up a tad if you decide to keep the normal setup

    I've got an 07 and 2011 SIII. I put up with standard mirrors for years on the 07 - really good if you have attractive elbows! When I saw the 2011 with bar end mirrors I thought that they'd be the first thing to go but in reality they're brilliant! Just bear in mind the couple of points from thebiglad, above.

    Thanks for all the replys guy's. Met a guy at our local bike meet last week who had a set and swore by them. So it looks as though it is the way to go....

    I got some of these and they work great. Only about 4cm long, but just enough to make the mirrors useful. Cost under a tenner including post.
