New Mirrors?

Different mirrors? I just picked up my 2006 Triple on Tuesday, and it had different mirrors than any of the others there. Are the ones I have the new stock ones?

Not the best picture, but it is plastic and not the round one like the others. Just wondering if these were the new standard.

Also, what is the best way to do a redux on the tail? Any instructions on how to move everything up and under the tail with only the lights/plates sticking down from the brake light?

Run a search on "tail tidy" and "fender elimination" and you'll find more posts than you can shake a stick at.

PS - welcome.

Ack! Looks like it's gone from lookin' like Mickey Mouse to Dumbo.

Get some bar ends.

CRGs are popular here.

Napoleons are half the price and I like mine.

Lotsa ways to fix the hindquarters. Personally, I'm planning on using a Dremel, a jig saw, some sheet metal, and some creative shopping at Home Depot.

What's that sig pick R100Pilot?

Most o' that would be somethin' called "instrumentation," a thing which are sorely lackin' in many of today's one-LCD-does-everything-if-you-know-which-combinations-of-buttons-to-push motobeasties. Don't let Cheap see it - he might git ideas.

In particular, that's the cockpit of an R100S, and is identical to mine (I have the S fairing - more nekkid that way), 'cept I don't have the cylinder head temperature gauge. (It's an AIRHEAD. Who cares how hot it is? Can't do nothin' 'bout it anyway, but some folks just like knowin', eh? :razz: )

The writin's all in some furrin language, somethin' 'bout "Reifenluftdrucks" and "unter der sitzbank" an' such. Looks like a 'splosion inna Scrabble factory.

An' that gizmo in the middle is a prehistoric version o' what the kids nowadaze call a "steering damper." It has four positions - from "this-thing-ain't-ever-gonna-point-in-one-direction" to "how-the-heck-do-I-get-the-handlebars-to-turn."

I need to get a new shot o' mine - I liked the Napoleons so much, I got 'em for der Beemerschööter too, and ditched the clear windshield for a solid black plexi one. Looks quite nasty.

They look good to me, not to mention they function better than the old style. They should be in stock by now.

I've got the HALCYON bar end mirrors on mine,you can actually see behind you and back to the other side of the road just with a downward glance without moving your noggin.
