mount them upsidedown for even more  bacon


if only they could fit with clipons!

Never figured out how people get away with that—right mirror gets blocked by your wrist whenever you're on the throttle.

and why wouldn't they work with clip ons? Huh?

when i was trying to figure out my setup it seemed that the extreme angle of the clipons wouldnt let the mirrors be useable,
and also i thought the mirrors would hit the tank at tight slow speed turns, making the horrid u-turn radius even worse.  (mounted upsidedown at least)
plus with clipons the handlebars are so much lower, it would make the mirrors like knee-height upsidedown Smiley

i opened up my clipons a bit, so maybe they could work, id love to see it, if anyone has that setup. might convince me to change mirrors

Just a FYI the Triumph mirrors are not what they are shown to be in the web site pics (looks like the actually took the rizoma photos instead of real triump mirror photos). I got the pics from a SD dealer who was kind enough to send me the actual pics, I have also visited a local triumph dealer and verified that the triumph mirrors look like the pics attached.





First off the Triumph mirrors are a very glossy black and not matte like the rizoma's. Secondly the Triumph logo is etched into the metal and is on the top and bottom of the mirror. And lastly the shape is very rounded compared to the angular shape of the Rizoma's.

I originally though that I would just get a pair of the triumph mirrors and sand and repaint them to hide the logo but after seeing the mirrors in person, it looked like just too much work to sand and paint the mirror backing and the stem. Ill pay the extra $30 per mirror and just get the rizoma's.

My $0.02

The Rizoma mirrors are glass with a slight blue tinge; the stalk and mirror housing are aluminum.

Can't speak to the Triumph mirrors never having seen them personally, but I would be surprised if they were not glass.  Does anyone market "non-glass" mirrors?
