For me they are for looks only. 1, they tend to vibrate more, 2, my bl**dy elbow will block the view and 3, they will bang into car and van mirrors when filtering.
Well folks I got the oval mirrors pictured by struv above from the bay offered by banjoholic for $200 US incl shipping. This seller is an excellent seller - mirrors arrived after about 14 days (UK to US); packaged excellent in a shipping box, plastic bag, and gobs of bubble wrap; original unopened untouched by human hands Triumph box. These mirrors are top notch quality, heavy metal, flawless mat black paint, high gloss glass - typical Triumph quality. The mirrors fit easily to the mounts on my 2023 Bonneville T120. Alas and alack, the outer edge of the mirror is 1 and 3/4 inches further inboard than the stock mirrors; thus, less of a view rearward and more of a view of my shoulders. Have decided to stick with the stock mirrors.
Bar ends all the way, and what does it really matter if you can’t see out of them? (Joking) I don’t have any problems with mine and they look so much nice imo.
im sorry bud i hadn't actually fitted mine when i mentioned them and yes your correct they are worse than the Micky mouse ones. i couldn't believe it when i got around to fitting them please accept my apologies for giving a bum steer
I really like the bar end mirrors on the Speed 400, rock steady, good view and to me they look special!
No worries struv; I was able to fine tune the stock mickey mouse mirrors and get a decent view rearward; still have the oval ones in their original box and packing and will offer them for sale when I get un-lazy.
Don't know if I'm too late with this, but have a look at Halcyon bar-end mirrors. They look just like the classics from the 60's and I've fitted them to my 2016 T120 and an Interceptor and IMO they're way better than the OEM items. Cheers all
