Mirror alternatives

The original mirrors on the faired Hinckley Triumphs (Trophy 1200 and 900, Daytona 1000 and 750) were all the same: round-headed items on short stalks that are attached to the fairing subframe with two M6 studs. They also serve as the main attachment point for the top fairing.

 They are good quality items that are basically vibration-free - but don't show the rider very much more than an attractive view of the elbows. At least, that's what they show unless the rider makes a conscious effort to tuck their elbows in. The stalks are retained in the mirror heads by nuts but can't be dismantled to do much about the length.

My bike came fitted with some alternatives that later became standard on the Trophy models (1993 I think). These mirrors are about the same height but have a wider, oblong profile so extending the view laterally by about an inch. Ideally, they'd be mounted on stalks that are around an inch wider again. The stalks are moulded extensions of the mirror body so can't be extended.

So I've been keeping an eye open for other possible alternatives. I saw these on ebay being mentioned on the Yahoo Triumph Trophy group:

They have adjustable M6 studs so would work and have integrated indicators. They look as though they could be dismantled and the stalks extended. Might give it a try some time.
