Had my Scrambler 3 weeks now & am thoroughly enjoying it. I was not crazy about the stock mirrors, so ordered 4" & 8" clamp-on mirrors. The 4" I struggled to position, as there is a lot going on cable-wise, brake reservoir etc. I couldn't get them out further enough under the hand grip. So I am now going with the 8" ones & they work well.
I like the idea of keeping the front end down, kinda low pro & this achieves that for me. Also, I just had my Triumph silencers put on & they seem a lot louder than the same ones I had on my Bonny before. I feel they're almost as obnoxious as Harley's & don't even want to rev to much when pulling away at a light. Maybe it's just that they're a lot closer to my ears now than on the Bonneville. Any way to take the sound down a tiny bit???
Here's some pics!

The TOR's are louder than the Bonnie ones, but some poeple complained that the Bonnie ones are too quiet! I love the sound on my Scramber with the TOR's - defiantely not too loud for me!
Like to see a pic of the mirrors as I am thinking about change mine.

yes, i'd like to see a shot of these mirrors too. Not into the bar end look, and I'd like to see some alternatives. Too bad no one makes a really solid chromed steel tail light either.
