I would like to exchange my standard Mickey Mouse looking ones to something nicer. I don't really like bar ends (sorry, I know a lot of you like them). I do like the Bella Corse oval ones, but I hear that they don't work that good. Maybe there something similar but better working out there...

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Found a solution on New Bonneville Forum site: Some Yamaha, I think it was V Max has oval mirrors that should fit ; keep the stems, screw on the new tops. Might work with other 2 piece mirrors as well

Thieu.

I have a set of Bella Corse ones selling cheap. I agree with some that I don't like the visibility of them. That's why I'm selling them.

I just purchased and am eagerly waiting on a set of Halcyon 860 Round Bar end mirrors. Very well made, made in England. I purchased mine from Walridge at $91 shipped.

I ordered these mirrors from British Customs for $99. (The stock mirrors are simply not set wide enough to see beyond your elbows.)

I'm not so sure your going to see much with those either. I have the Custom "S" mirrors and they have a little longer stem than those and I get about a 1/4 use of the mirror. Look at the mirror in relation to the grip. If their convex that will help.

I got Ken Sean mirrors - "Universal Mini Chrome" model. They are the same shape
as the Emgo mirrors pictured in an earlier post. Either one would be fine. It just depends what is easier to find. The stock mirrors are made by Ken Sean too.

This view of the "Barking Mad Bonnie SS" mirrors provides a better perspective and still makes me feel a bit optimistic that they will be better than the stock ones they are replacing.

I'll have them mounted next week and will try to report back to this thread my impression.



5Bassman,
Where can I see a picture of the Custom "S" Mirrors you mentioned? Thanks.

I also like those Rizoma mirrors. Remember you've got 1" (25.4mm) or 7/8" (22.2mm) handlebars, though.
