Hi There,
They are Shin Yo Agila mirrors - you can pick them up from quite a few places online fairly cheaply.
However - I have since changed my mirrors and would recommend the new ones over those ones.
The new ones are motogadget m-view Sport mirrors - they are glassless and look super cool. Also adjustable like the Agila ones, but optically superior.

The downside is they ain't cheap.....

I was trying to avoid spending 200 quid on a pair of mirrors but them new one you have on look right tidy
How are they for seeing past your elbows, and I assume they'll need an adaptor of some sort?, I've been a metric rider for 20 odd years so looking at universal stuff needs some extra thinking
yes- we stock them here... But you did say you were trying to stay away from cheap rubbish..

Question
The bottom muffler comes off easy enough from underneath, but the top one is unbelievably difficult to get at the mounting bolts. They are behind the pipes and there's not enough room to get a socket in there.
I struggled with this for a while and ended up using just a 3/16" Allen socket by itself, with a 3/16 wrench turning the Allen bar itself. Even with that I could only move it about 1/12th of a turn at a time before I had to flip the wrench to get another 1/12th turn.

Did the socket fit after all? When you say “Allen bar” do you mean that you inserted an Allen wrench/ Allen key and used a closed-end wrench to turn it?
Or did you really mean to say that you used an Allen socket?
Thanks,
John

It squares off after a few thousand miles. I have about 5000 miles on my rear tire now and it has a nice flat spot in the center. Will replace it and the front soon after I add a cam and it is run on the dyno. I would rather have the old tire on the dyno.
Going with Avon Cobras this go round. I've always heard good things about Avon tires and especially about the cobras and now cobra chromes.

I got 10,000 miles out of the stock Dunlop rear before it needed replacing.
I've currently got Cobra Chromes on, and ... I'm not all that impressed. They're supposed to stick like glue, but I've had the rear tire slip out on me twice with these on, and the front feels a tad funny. I got the Cobra Chromes because I thought I would be doing more track days, but in reality this bike has turned into more of a tourer, so I'm going back to the Dunlops.

Good to know about the Cobra Chromes. Looking for a tire that's more sticky than the Dunlops especially in the rain. Maybe I'll keep looking.
