Hey Colin-
I've got a pair of Lightech Carbon mirrors. They are quite a bit longer and come with blocks to move them further out on the fairing. These really helped rear visability, and they look the part too!

Hi, Just found the website for those mirrors,they look great. The part list does not mention triumph so if you don't mind me asking what ones did you use for your daytona 955?

Hey sagaris, do you know how much farther those Lightech mirrors extend than the stock mirrors? And do they use convex or flat glass?

Hey guys-
I bought the universal mount mirrors from OPP Racing. Their service and support was excellent, even after the post mysteriously lost them en route. I like the look, but they are much thinner than the originals and took a few rides to focus. They look like flat glass. Unfortunately, I don't have a comparison between these and OEM, I bought them after the originals broke. Let us know what you choose!

I bought them from OPP Racing (http://www.oppracing.com/products.ph...images&id=4698). I think they ship overseas. I'll get some pics tomorrow when it's light out.

Sorry for the delay, had to find my camera. Here are a few pics of the mirrors. I tried to show how much elbow covers the mirror. They come with blocks to set the mirrors out a bit further, but I haven't had an issue yet.
