mirror options

YevJenko i'd really advise against buying those mirrors, i had the same ones on my Tuono 125. One of them came broke in the post and the came loose from the thread when doing 80mph, luckily managed to catch it as it flew off with my left hand while i was trying to slow down. I then got some more expensive universal ones off Ebay and they are much better quality :thumbup

IMHO, the more stylish mirrors are the less you can see out of them.

Mike, which ones did you have on your 125?

Exactly the same pair from the same seller. Maybe i got unlucky and got a bad set but you could just tell when you got them they weren't the great quality. The part that connects the stem and the mirror is really really thin plastic and barely adjustable and the stem of the mirror itself is really thin. I got these ones shortly after, Motorcycle Black Mirrors For 06-10 Aprilia Tuono SL750 08-10 BMW F800GS F650GS | eBay . They don't look that good but they are really durable and much better quality than the 9 quid ones

I note there seems to be two versions of those mirrors - one that has a logo on the back and one that doesn't.
these are the logo'd ones (on the upper section) which the poster said were great.

that he bought from Amazon (Amazon.com advert)

the other ones from the ebay ad (eBay advert) don't appear to have logos on them
Did yours have the logo on Mike?

I bought those other mirrors you linked for my bandit 750. Not too bad, but a bit vibey at speeds - and that's on a four cylinder bike (although in their defence the bike has motocross bars with no bar end weights.

speaking of bar ends and mirrors. A couple of folks have been putting their bar end mirrors on the mounting for the indicators and have claimed awesome non-vibey and lots-of-rearward-vision type results
