Triumphrat

Variations on this have probably been beaten to death, but I couldn't quite find an answer.

I've recently gone back to using the stock handlebars after getting tired of my cafe setup. The stock mirrors never worked for me as I'm too broad and can't see behind me with them.

I've adapted my old Napoleon bar-ends to fit the stock bars, but I hate the look of them - with the stock bars it's way too wide looking for my taste, even with the mirrors turned to flare inwards.

I remember reading that there were mirrors that looked like the Napoloeons but had normal stalks instead of being bar-ends, that fit the models with threaded mirror holes - is there anything like that out there for the older Bonneville's and/or T100's that don't have threaded mirror holes?

Triumph makes a couple of black mirrors, but I'd like to limit this to $50-$75 or so for the pair.

I'm hoping someone else has navigated the sea of universal mirrors out there and come up with some attractive options.

Thanks,
Jeff

These?

Looks like they only come in chrome though...

Those are apparently only for the later mag wheel Bonnevilles with threaded mirror holes. What's not clear is whether the thread is long enough that I could just put them through the smooth mount hole I've got and put a nut on the other end.

They cost £0.99 plus shipping (£6 from memory) of ebay.co.uk

I quite like these ones from bikemaster, come with a few different mounting hardware options for different threads and thru holes. They have adjustable piviot points so you can adjust the angle of the mounting arm.

Will those fit the t100 controls? I like them.

Did you actually call British Customs about those screw-in Napoleons that someone mentioned previously? They may have an adapter (they stock stuff that isn't listed on the site) or another suggestion.

Not sure what the T00 mounts are but it comes with 10mm,8mm and unthreaded hole adaptors. They sat a bit high with the 10mm adaptor so I made up a little plate with 2 holes in it to mount them lower

While I've been thinking about this, I've kind of gotten used to the Napoloen bar-ends that I adapted to the stock bars:





They work well for me rotated around like that, despite what I said earlier.

If I get tired of them, I'll get more info about whether those other Napoleons can fit in the stock mounting holes.
