    Hi
    Just joined your forum and from what I've seen it looks both fun and informative.
    I own a Street Twin that has been loads of fun since last summer. Doing a bit of cosmetic changes and fancy fitting some bar end mirrors. Apart from standard Triumph ones does anyone know of any others that fit direct to bike? Tried Bike It ones as I like the style but bar ends are fitted with fixed ferrules and won't take them.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Quite a few posts regarding bar end mirrors over the last few weeks, use the search box and I am sure you will benefit from the info available.

    Hey TP (another youngster I see), there's def a recent running discussion on bar end mirrors, in the Bonnie section iirc. Some good looking ones for little cost too that clamp on, including some Oxfords I bought for £20 off ebay, and some cracking looking ones others have for not much more than a tenner.

    Did you get your Street Twin locally? Hertfordshire Triumph or Pure Triumph maybe? Btw, where's the pics of your bike, or did I miss something? Oh, and welcome ;)

    Welcome TP good to see another Bedfordian.

    I know your question was "other than Triumph ones" but I highly recommend the Triumph bar end mirrors that come with the Street Cup.

    Hi n welcome, lots of choice in mirrors out there but as you say Triumph bars have a ferrule in the end, some people remove these to fit aftermarket mirrors and some just use a longer bolt, all very easy to fit with a bit of work. If you are not sure then i would recommend genuine bar end mirrors as the easy option :)
