Better mirrors?
« on: September 14, 2010, 21:19:17 »
I've really had enough of the useless square mirrors on my Vee.
I've seen mention of Aprilia replacements.
Anyone give me a heads up or link to these?

I bought a pair of Holeshot Mirror wideners from Andy off the Forum

Suddenly the useless square mirrors are now brilliant and give a great view of behind

Thanks for the links blokes. I've ordered some new mirrors off net.
See what they're like when fitted. Those extenders are reasonably priced.

My new mirrors turned up today. Fitted and ready to test on a run to Ace cafe in London tomorrow for Sam Manicoms new book launch. Anyone going?

Anyone know if these are the correct Aprilia mirrors? Look right but just want to be sure.

They are (you want Tuono mirrors) but call the place (http://www.rocketcentre.co.uk/) direct.  You'll get a better price and they are extremely helpful.  I think I paid £26.50 for the pair including p&p - I ordered last Friday at 2pm and they turned up on Saturday before I'd even had breakfast!

Ironically I think they sell very few to Aprilia owners and are very familiar with the Strom lot asking for them.

Thanks, makes sense I will do that. :thumb:

True: I was actually born in Preston (a very long time ago !!) but being an economic migrant its still a bit far back even to South Lancs now, so its postman pat for me.
