New Mirrors Anyone?

Sorry Taxpayer, but they don't work for me. I put bar-ends on the T100 and that improved rear view loads.

 

Yes, I've got to agree with littleade and the bigfella.
The ergonomics are not to my liking, the smooth curves of the tank, side panels and fairing do not accept the angular shape of the mirrors.
Look a bit like Spocks ears!
Sorry!

 

There is a digital clock within the speedometer, if you flick through the modes you can set and display the digital clock, now that's my type of bargain, it's free.

 

Not on that model, it has the old mechanical odo.

 

Yes, well spotted Mr Toad.
What year did they change ?

 

Mine is a 2009 and has the older mech type and I'm pretty sure that I've seen the new LCD instruments on a 2010 model.

 

Got to agree with the others I'm afraid - they just don't look right on the Bonnie. I am still looking at possibly getting some better bar end mirrors - the problem with the ones I had was just down to the small size 3" diameter.

 

On my 2010 T100 there was an LCD screen within the speedo.

 

Brilliant, you could then spin them round while you're riding and play big police car , little police car

 

Are you still trying to sell off your old BMW parts littlleade? I take it the anvil and rope brake system went?

 

Multi purpose mirror!
1) Reflecting back a speed camera flash.
2) Can be set horizontal to reduce wind resistance when cracking on.
3) Mirror stem could be used to plug a puncture.

 

I ordered a pair of Oxford bar ends mentioned elsewhere which are cheap and when they landed I could see why. Functional but not pretty.

My lad put me on to these

Got a prompt reply about suitability so have ordered up and I will let you know what they are like

 

I put a pair of round Oxford bar-end mirrors on my Street Twin, same as on my SE. £19.99 inc postage on Ebay. They work for me, but for looks I need to re-position the clamps like on the SE.

 

Those 3 piston mirrors, I know it says the don't fold back at speed, but do they fold back? I have an issue with the width of a shed door so would need folding ones?

 

Those mirrors look rubbish. Triumph or Rizoma bar ends are what you need.

 

Are you looking at the same mirrors as me mate ?

For the record I've got quite a lot of Triumph accessories on the Bonneville and the street but I reckon the price of their mirrors is exorbitant and that these mirrors from a small British firm are well made and good value

And they look very similar to the Rizoma ones but again less money
