These stock mirrors suck!!! Not everyone uses their mirrors but I have been riding so long with them that I can't live without 'em. Every write up I have read about the S3 said the bike is awesome but the mirrors suck. Well they were all right!

I have been searching everyday and not much out there if you don't want bar-ends, which I don't.

I really like the Rizomas but can't find anyone that sells them.

Anyone got a good idea or a direction for me? I appreciate any advice or help. :???:

Do a search on this site for Benelli TNT mirrors. Do an advanced search on just the Speed Triple forum and type in ES3 as author. They have come up in several threads. If ES3 sees this he might post a picture for you.

Several guys have them and they look great. I have ZRX1200 on mine and they work well but look a little old fashioned.

Your bike looks great! And the mirrors accent it well. Do you use and like them? If 3rdGear gives the good word, I may be sport 'em as well. :razz:

I really like the Monstrack mirrors that the Mrs got me for Christmas. They come in a couple lengths (I got the "long" ones) and finishes (I got the black powdercoat) and have the threads specifically turned to fit your bike at the time of ordering (both S3 mirrors are right-hand threads). Kevin Kachuck, the owner, is fantastic and can be reached at 510-782-1119 in the Bay Area.

There are some decent pics on their website at the below link:

I have the Monstrack as well and they are a great upgrade from stock and look good as well!! Great quality and workmanship!! If you go with them make sure you specify Triumph cause they mainly do them for Duc's and the tread is reverse on one side!!

I got these Third Eye Bar-end mirrors at my local bicycle shop for $12.95 each. I can see behind me and they don't move out of adjustment at 100mph. I like them a lot.

Very cool, FelixLieter, but their website doesn't even pose a way to order on line. At least that I can see?

I am assuming that after having them shipped here to the US it would cost more than what I can buy domestically. I am seeing many cool things by manufacturers overseas but it doesn't seem too easy to contact them to order stuff. I still can't get MCJ to respond to me.

Thanks everyone but I think I am going to pick up the mirrors from 3rdgear.
