The mirrors on my 05 Tiger are looking a bit scabby so was thinking of changing them. Anyone recomend replacments, some a little longer would help as the OEM only give a clear view of me shoulders. cheers
If you don't want to spring for Triumph replacement parts...

Today I found some mirrors at my local shop that were $13 each and fit perfectly. Round mirrors though, which to me don't look as cool as the rectangular ones.

The dude at the shop said they were a "standard 10mm thread".

You can also install a pair of mirror wideners from SW-Motech... http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/pr ... /2533/124/ (http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/2533/124/)
If you want to go the extra step keep your eyes open or post an ad to get a set of Speed triple mirrors. They attach at the end of the mirror as opposed to the middle and give you a much needed extra inch or so of extension. I got this tip off another Triumph site last year. Combined with a set of Kawasaki Z mirror extenders I have no issues with shoulders and elbows at all.

Buell mirrors, same thread size and with the mirror extenders you can see everything behind you except your shoulders. :D
I have the pics on here in another post, under the toys and farkles forum.
