    Hi guys

    New to the forum and to the bonneville. Loving it but I would like to change the handlebars and mirrors. I have ordered some new bars but I can't find any reasonably priced 1 inch bar end mirrors. Has anybody got any ideas where I can find some

    Oh right. I guess the tape has enough flex in it to expand with the mirror. I didn't think about that. All the ones I've liked have been 7/8ths so far

    The last lot I bought I first saw on bay for about a tenner, then bought the identical items for about £12 delivered from Amazon.

    A bit like these for example :
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Areyoursho...sr=8-4&keywords=1"+Motorcycle+bar-end+mirrors

    They worked for me on my Bonny T100 for about 5 years and 25,000 mls

    Thx guys. Bought some cheapies off of eBay. Seem ok although you need to use hex keys to adjust them. Bit of a ball ache to fit as I couldn't get the expansion collar to work but used some rubber and they tightened ok in the end. All good experience

    Hi Rico you don't need to use the expandy bit at all if you've got the std fitting inside your bars? Use the std, bolt and you'll install much easier.
