looking for bar-end for Tommaselli clip ons

I have just bought some Tommaselli clip-ons from Thunder Bike in NZ. Good blokes and great bars. very happy with them and the service from the dealer, the 2" make a massive difference in handling and comfort without stuffing up the Thruxton look !
Enough of the add ! My problem is now looking for a suitable bar-end mirror and and a handle bar weight to match the single right hand bar-end mirror any ideas people?
Thanks for your time,

cheers Staf

Hi Staf
I know this is slightly off topic, but any chance you could post some pics of the bars? Been looking into them myself - just didn't know how different they'd make the bike look!
Cheers

Here a few more pics, cribbed from www.pakbikes.net. If you do a search on Tommaselli on the forum, you'll find a few more before/afters pics.

Thumbs up Thanks

Staf / Rotary
Thanks for the info - still can't make my mind up if I want to do this though!
Let me mull it over with a few Christmas beers!
Merry Christmas All!
Cheers

I got mine from Cosmo Motors at the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days last year for $100...they also sell 'em on their website for a few bucks more. Here's the link to a set of 41mm...

Staf,
Not sure what you need for a bar end weight, but I'm running these eBay mirrors on my Tommi's. They were a whopping $35 or less for the set. They are knock offs of the CRG's I think. They hold up okay, but they didn't give me as much useful mirror as the stock W mirrors or the Emgo's they replaced. But they look okay, profile wise.
If you ebay "bar end mirror billet" you'll see them.
Sorry I don't have any close ups.

+1 .. I thought the ThunderBike price was a bit steep at $320 US ? Are they the same 3 way adjustable Tommaselli's offered at Vintage Cosmo for $109 ?
