Title: Alternative mirrors
Post by: Tigertriple on March 08, 2012, 02:49:19 PM
Can anyone recommend alternative mirrors for a Tiger. I have SW Motech mirror wideners fitted but still feel that the rear view could be better.

I have broad shoulders and find that no matter how I adjust the mirrors I always see my shoulders.  :oops:

KTM Duke mirrors seem to be popular alternatives but not sure if they are any wider. I don't want to fit bar end mirrors, so any suggetions appreciated.  :)

'tis a shame because they really do work! Sorry, I'm new to tigers so can't suggest anything alternative.

I take it you have raised them aswell as widened them?

Have you tried Sprint Manufacturing?  I think they used to have extended, wider mirrors that looked like the originals...

I have the Sprint manufacturing extended mirror on my right side. A carrion crow ended up with the original embedded in itself. It is about an inch longer than the original, it looks exactly the same in all other respects, it is a reasonable price, worth trying.

+1 I have these on the Steamer and they have proved good for me with standard bars etc.

My vote is in for Buell Uly mirrors. I got mine for 26 a piece. I do not have mirror extenders but with these mirrors I don't need them anymore.  Here ya go.
