Anyone found mirrors that seem mase for the speedy? Not something wierd ir that fit in the bar ends. But something that fit where the stock ones go but look sleek like the bike.

DAZCO, I bought the Bella Corse Custom Oval mirrors. I think they look great on my Speedy. You just don't have much rear view, have to tuck your elbows in to see behind you.

Now if someone has info on good front turn signal replacements that mount in the same spot, I'd be set. Those are the last things I want to replace. Already have mini's for the rear.

Not bad, but not exactly what i'm looking for, which by the way i don't even know ! I'll know em when i see em, but they gotta be functional too...no pulling my elbows in to see in back of me or anything like that. maybe they don't exist but i had to ask.

dazco,
If the mirror mounts on the SM are the same as the America (and I gotta believe they are!), then you have a huge choice of mirrors. There are no threads in the mount, just a hole! Any of the HD mirrors, OEM, custom or standard aftermarket, that use a threaded stud and acorn nut mounting system will just bolt right in. The most you might have to do is trim the length of the stud with a hacksaw. As Harley has used this type of mirror for the past 40 years or so there's more than a few to chose from!!!!
Cogito ergo equito

I have some Kuryakyn mirrors and grips on my Speedmaster.. I like the look. I also did the turn signal relocation, so they are now mounted on the forks sort of.. Pix are in my album..

I think these look good but they don't have the right attachment. They're threaded dammit !
By the way, what ARE the ends of the triumph mirrors like? Do they just pull out and are they just a rod with not threads? What keeps them in? I'm thinking someone should make a adapter for threaded mirrors to make them adapt to our bikes ! Brent?
