Bar end mirrors

[Dedmanwalkn]

Looking to get a set of bar ends for my 11 R3R. Does anyone know the width of the bar off the top of thier head (being lazy and dont want to drive all the way to storage unit to measure. These are the ones that I was looking at Bar End Mirrors Triumph Thunderbird Sport High Quality - eBay (item 140507922676 end time Feb-08-11 19:12:16 PST)

They are for Thunderbirds, but I'm not sure if the Rocket and T-bird have the same bars. If you know of any better ones, please send me a link. Thanks!

They say Thunderbird Sport so you will find them in a search, they are no different than the other ones they sell. They will work if you remove your bar end weights and the handlebar adapter on the mirrors (the silver part). They are cheap CRG knock-offs but seem to work for most people. I reccomend Oberon Performance, they aren't cheap but these things are absolutely top notch and you really do get what you pay for with these and they have awesome customer service just make sure you get the 75mm ones because they are convex glass.

Bryon540 in Stafford has some bar-end mirrors on his Roadster. Send him a PM.

The Thunderbird Sport has 7/8" bars also... This isn't the current Thunderbird. Here's my previous Thunderbird Sport.. A bike I really miss!...

Chuck, those are perfect! Do I want the 7/8 or the 1"? Thanks!

1" if you plan to move your controls in a bit which will let you retain your barend weights. When I got mine two years ago they only had 7/8" and I made a set of adaptors and eliminated the weights. You could also get the ones that replace your weights, I would contact them and see what they reccomend. Mine with shipping ended up being about $220 and it was money well spent, they look great and work great.
