What would it take to install the Triumph bar end mirrors in SuperBars? They're not offered for Bonnevilles, just Thruxtons... right?

So what's different about the Thrux's clip-ons? Are the made with a threaded insert? If so, is it different than the inserts in OEM Bonnie handlebars? Are they different diameter handlebars?

What's the scoop Guys??? :???:

Do you like movies about gladiators?

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

I still plan on going with the round Halcyon mirrors when I get the extra cash. I plan on going to Home Depot and picking up some clear tubing that will fit over the adapter and into the bar. I've seen this used on bar ends before.

Not sure which size, but their sold in alot of sizes. Get it to fit the mirror adapter snug and if needed, sand or grind the outside to fit the inside of the bars. I could see it reducing vibration but have no experience. As soon as Landscape season kicks off again and I get the extra cash I'll be letting you know!
