    I don't dislike my bar ends on the mirror, in fact they give a good view behind, but as I commute into central London on the bike, the also get in the way when filtering through traffic. Do other Triumphs that take standard mirrors have different brake and clutch assemblies, or just a bar clamp type mirror fitting? I'd like to get some normal mirrors on there if possible, even at the cost of rear view, anyone done this?

    I took my mirrors off and put in bar ends that are daytime running lights and then blink as directionals. People see me easier and I'm not lazy and reliant upon a mirror.

    On the bonneville/T100 there is two types of controls available but to hand I can’t quite picture them
