Or bar end mirrors that will work with the Throttlemeiser.

Any Suggestions? :???:

Thats a tall order, Are they larger than your bar?

I helped put them on an a friends FJR, but I never tried them out.
I remember they were large, heavy, well made and easy to twist to lock in speed.

Do they have a screw in the end?

Yes, they do have a screw in the end, and I was hoping there might be something that makes use of it, without messing with the function of the Throttlemeister.

Bending the stock mirrors to just about a right angle has made a significant improvement for me, and the price is right. Still not perfect, but the image and coverage of the stock glass is pretty good, as long as you're not just looking at your elbows... :razz:

Just try Benelli TNT mirrors. Much better than stock:



Do a search on this site and you will find them :wink:

Agree on the FAR Benelli ones. There is a site selling them with built in indicators.

Dude have a Sh*t load on mirrors and these are the best

Shameless plug ahead. :-D


I've got a set of those FAR Benelli ones I'm looking to sell. They were on my speedy when I bought it. Work real good, but I like the look of my CRG bar ends. They are just like what ES3 has posted. Factory Benelli TNT mirrors. (they dont have indictors built in)


looking to get 100 bucks plus shipping.
