These are Yamaha mirrors. The mirror heads mount right to the stock stems.

You can use any HD style after market mirror with adapters. I have them on my bike and Wendy's bike. Got them cheap off Ebay. The adapters are $19 here.

The new(er) Triumph teardrop mirrors look cool and are lower profile , but they DO vibrate bad . So bad you can't see squat behind you .

I love the look of the Triumph teardrops but have been a little hesitant to drop the $100+ on them because of the vibration that people have mentioned.
There are two styles; drilled and solid stems. Does one vibrate more than the other?

Those are similar to what I used on Wendy's bike and you can actually see quite well out of them. Wendy's are more of an eyebrow shape with flame stalks.

I didn't think vibration was a problem on Triumphs!

I like their look - flat glass or convex? Any vibration compared to stock?

I got these at BC customs. I like them, but I would like to get the extensions-because they're long slung and sometimes my hulking shoulders get in the way  [image]  [/image]

I can se if someone is behind me, but I can't make out if it's a Ford or a Fiat if you know what I mean.
I always turn my head before I switch lanes or change course anyway. Don't trust mirrors much...
