Title: New mirrors
Post by: Notty on Sunday, 16 June 2024, 11:23 PM
Got fed up with the original mirrors rusting so these on FleaBay half price @ £70 a pair- PUIG made of aluminium - seem top quality

Personal preference, I can't stand barend mirrors. I always find they are in such a strange spot to look in that I never use them. But familiarity might help.

I use them on my road Bikes (bicycles), as it pays to see what idiot is coming up behind you these days..  :whistling:

Puig to make some quality bits, I have one of their small screens which is also good quality

I see you also have grip puppies on the bars, simple idea that made one hell of a difference for me

Hope you kept the oem ones Notty, when you get tired of the aluminium oxidizing, you can swap between them and rusty chrome....

They're called Pussy Grips here, google that!  You may or may not be surprised at the results . . . :happy1:    & yes, I use them too, great bit of kit & cheap too.

I like a Pussy Grip also, more ways than one. My chinese bar ends last around3 yrs, still pretty good just couple of blemishes. A whole $20 odd for a new set.Had one faulty in 12 yrs, they sent a new set free.👍
