I have a pair of cheap(ish) mirrors on my M1100

ebay link

They look and feel well made, don't vibrate and give a good view behind. There are a couple of different sized sleeves to suit different i/d bars

Those look very similar to the ones I have for sale. Will post them up on forum soon. They were cheap so will be going cheap too.

Be careful with cheap ones some are good some are bad is my only advice. I bought some cheap ones for my Sv to try years ago and they were great until you accelerated and they went mental I ended up setting the position and araldited them so no more movement.

Can't get post image to work at the moment. Same as the ones posted earlier black but blue end caps not black ones.

Hi Darren, if you wouldn’t mind hanging on three days I’ll get home and will measure my internal diameter to check - would you send me a PM as to how much you’re after for them please?

I'd be very wary about fitting those. I've had bar weights with rubber fitting inserts longer than them work their way out and go AWOL. With the overhung weight of a mirror wobbling up and down, it'd be far worse IMO. If you can get bar-ends with wedge-type fittings, they are the best. See the Halcyon ones: https://classicpartsltd.com/classic-...d-mirrors.html

I tend to stick with highsider mirrors. German very nice quality and have the usual accessory bar inserts available to suit.

Maybe no everyone’s taste. They’re easily twice as big as the ones above. But I really like them

In fact that’s a highsider in my pic / avatar thing.

I can't comment on the effectiveness of the rubber inserts I'm afraid as I went for solid bars in the end which these obviously won't fit into. You could maybe change the rubber for a wedge type fitting?

I had a pair of Oberon street fighter bar ends on my old 750 until one just fell out yet a pair of £15 ones (yeah, for 2, delivered that looked exactly the same) never moved. Both sets were tightened and loctite'd up and to be honest I'd rather lose a £7.50 mirror than a £35 one..!

I've just clinked on your link and they do look nice - however they're showing as a list price of over a thousand pounds!
😨

If they're your idea of 'cheap(ish) I'd hate to ask what you normally pay for mirrors!
😂

They're for a Triumph Street Triple so you will get a free new engine for that when yours blows up!
