    Broke a mirror on my T100, triumph sell them up to £95 each. I
    took the opportunity to change both to Ryde oval mirrors for better vision. Perfect, £6.99 a pair on ebay. Another case of a triumph piss-take. Also found they secure mirror stems differently, so just changed lenses. Ryde are 10mm same as triumph.

    Quality items cost money. But 95£ for a single bike mirror is indeed piss-taking.

    Triumph mirrors are plastic and made in china, same as ebay ones. Road tested mine today, the difference is amazing! A clear rear view past my elbows at last. Highly recommend!

    Any chance you can post a photo of the bike with them on? I've been wanting to upgrade mirrors as well, but can't seem to make up my mind regarding looks, better vision, traffic clearance, etc.

    I fitted Halcyon bar ends to my Adventurer, looked a bit strange but gave a good all round view and I got used to it, they are about £45 ish each, very good quality, the method of fitting is to drill and tap a 6mm thread into the block in side the handlebar tube.
    When I sold the bike I restored to original and still have the mirrors in the shed, I was going to fit to my T100 but the standard ones did the job so I didn't bother
