Tommaselli clip on , plugs

[hooksey]

G,day fellas,

Do the end plugs on these bars just pull out or
do you have to drill them out ?

Can anyone recommend a decent bar end mirror ?.

Ta.

CRG makes probably the best, CNC machined aluminium, all parts available, either fixed or folding. Very expensive, but they just don't vibrate. Unfortunately they're very small, and with the reach to our handlebars they just give a piddling field of view. I had to stop using mine because I commute in heavy traffic and I really couldn't see what was behind me. I now use a generic Chinese bike-shop rectangularish mirror that vibrates and has to be tightened frequently, but I can see behind me (sometimes). And I haven't found anything better.

I bought a cheap 3inc dia set from Honk Kong via Ebay, cost $12 delivered. Similar to these:- http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/7-8-Bar-End-Mirrors-Silvery-Handlebars-RACER-CLUBMA-/260787186098?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb820a9b2#ht_3514wt_1139

Probably would clip straight onto the end plugs already there, did on mine.

Got a pair of those cheapo oriental ones myself. They're CRG clones and work OK so long as you tighten all the screws to the point where you think they must surely break, then a bit more. It pays to put a drop of loctite on the little screw that holds the mirror glass in, and the two that hold the mirror onto the stalk. I've had them vibrate loose. The glass fell out of my right hand mirror once, and by some miracle I managed to catch it and put it in my pocket!

IIRC the end plug has a rivet in the end, Right?  If so you will need to drill it.The rivet clinches an expander to hold it in. The last one I did I had to break out and remove it in chunks.

I installed those clip ons on my Mirage. I drilled out the rivet and got pliers and pulled them out.
I then installed CRG mirrors. While they and the installation kit are expensive, they do work very well.

There was a guy at the Ace Cafe Italian Day that had OBERON mirrors on his Jota - they look the duck nuts.
He reckons they are brilliant.

... I use these mirrors since years on my 1200 SC and on the 750 SFC. Good quality and cheap price:

I have same Tomasselli clip-ons on my SF.
I used the original nylon plug to fit a universal small bar end mirror. I simply drilled out the rivet and drilled the hole to 6 mm. Put an M6 Allen bolt through the mirror support through the plug and placed a conically shaped M6 nut at the other end which acts as an expander. A very solid fitting indeed and very functional too.
