Ok, I went through the archived posts and have a few questions. I also have the Triumph Manual and see that there is what appears to be a different way of mounting the mirrors using a one time crush collar and a special tool.
1) If you want to install Triumph OEM mirrors, do you need the special tool or can you make one?
2) If you want to use a mirror that suits Harleys, it appears you need "mirror adaptors" like the ones made by Brent. Is this correct? are there other less expensive adaptors? and what is experience in using the adaptors? (i.e. vibration, constant mirror adjustment)
3) Can you use mirrors for "metric cruisers"? and do they fit in the existing mount without any modifications? Are there any issues when using these "metric cruiser" mirrors? (i.e. vibration, constant mirror adjustment)
I have seen the V-max mirrors fit the existing stems but my stems are a bit damaged. I dropped the bike last week (to fast in a roundabout) an the mirror, mirror stem and rear tail light bullet sustained Chrome scrapping and are the only things I can't fix. (bent brake lever, bent footboard mount, some black paint) all fixed. Bottom of exhaust (well its on the bottom...)
Thanks and Happy Holidays to All
