Yes you can from http://www.jacklilley.com/newcart/ not sure I like them though. I have just ordered a pair of Motrax Mirally mirrors that were advertised in this weeks MCN. They don't appear on the Motrax web site yet but they look like they will do the job better than the stock.

Jack Lilley. And as said above, they do look like *****. I do not understand why they did not just make some longer stems, but instead decided to machine the huge bulky extenders.

If you do not mind the shape of the stock mirrors (I kind of like them):

-machine new longer stems, the stems are just a bent piece of steel(?) with a M10 thread on the mirror end and a few holes on the other

-if machining is not your thing, try to find some cheapo mirrors with longers stems of the same diameter and replace the stock stems with these

-you can also bend the stock stems in a vice so the mirros sticks further out and adjust the mirror end thread so that the mirror ends a few cm outwards

Some one awhile ago suggested mirrors from a Ducati
monster ( which i just happened to have a set of ).
I'll send a pic of them mounted as soon as I get the bike
back together. I think they will work very well.

I've been using the Jack Lilley extensions for a while. All I see is elbows without them and I do like the original Triumph mirrors shape. The extensions certainly look agricultural though as you guys say.

I would like to find some mirror mounts that will just replace the original bars but hold the mirrors 2-1/2" further out - like the extensions (too dumb to make my own).

Any ideas?
