The mirrors are from trojan, turn signals are lockhart phillips, and the bar end weights are I can't remember the brand but are from the JCWhitney catalog.
BadS1,
Actually I haven't ridden it yet! I just got done 10 minutes ago. I'll keep you updated here.

Let us know how the mirrors work. If you can actually see something, I will buy them also.

PS-your bike looks like mine, same color, bar ends and turn sigs.

I have good news on the mirrors. There is still a significant amount of vibes but they are much less intense now meaning they don't shake back and forth as far now. The view is behind is much clearer than before but still far from 20/20.


Great minds think alike Bruce.

I Like the mirrors!

How much did it cost to ship those to the States?

Robin has those same mirrors on her 9SL. She really likes them. No complaints regarding any vibration. She says she can see better than when she had the stock mirrors on. Takes about three weeks to get them from Trojan.

Yep it took about 4 for mine. I have noticed I feel more vibes through the bars especially around 3k rpms but actually see less in the mirrors. I think this is attributed to the high weight of the stockers. In a way, the stock mirrors decrease the vibes coming through the bars.

I just ordered a set of these and will be removing the mirrors from the handlebars. Hope these things work...

Ohhhh bugeyes!
Those are just too cool.
I remember ejiii talking about those. I'm very interested in the longer stalked ones I keep hearing about. They're not listed on the website site yet though, so I don't know if they're available yet.
After you try them out would you please give us a little review? Maybe a pic of them on the helmet? I don't really care what they look like, if they work that's all that matters but I'm curious to see them. The pics on their website are so tiny.

Do any sponsors here in the states carry those mirrors? The ones from Trojan and thus the topic of this thread. Those would look hot on many different bikes. (But very sexy particularly on the XBS)
