My mirror stems look a bit tatty and before I start repainting them I was wondering if any others would fit as even if I repaint mine I still see more of my elbows than the traffic behind,i've seen street/speed triple ones on the net and wondered if they would be any good also would the tiger 800/1050 ones be better? Any info appreciated.
Any 10mm metric mirror will fit, best to get some mirror extenders they're not expensive and work a treat.
I've been looking at 10mm mirrors on ebay but it was the angles of the stem I was worried about,when you say about mirror extenders do you mean the type that extend the length of the stem or the brackets that extend from the handlebar mounts outwards?
I have the ones that extend out, the others I have no experience of. Mine came from China and cost a tenner
Mine extend up and out,these too were cheap as chips and work very well,gotta get some more now for the second Girly :nod
I placed either Aprilia or KTM mirrors on my bike and they angle out a bit better, while sitting lower. way better visability.
Cheers,
Billy
I fitted the up and out extensions, I can now see properly behind, I recommend them
I installed Tiger 800 mirrors on some eBay wideners. These mirrors sit a little lower than original, but are wider & shaped better. BIG improvement - and look better to boot.

I was also looking at the tiger 800 mirrors as a replacement.
I used bthese on my 955i and now they are on my 800 :thumbsup

Just bought these : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131053720204?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 cheap enough so worth a go.
I bought speed triple mirrors a few years back for my 02. way better. Sit out further - better view of cars not elbows and as somebody else said - look better.
