Very nice solution for the SV! I was wondering what diameter the part from the Triumph mounting kit is on which the mirror is being clamped/mounted. Looking at the pictures I guess it's 7/8 inch, just like the diameter of the SV handlebar. Unfortunately I can't find the dimension anywhere. Hope you can help me out. Thanks! Hi,

I was wondering what diameter the part from the Triumph mounting kit is on which the mirror is being clamped/mounted. Looking at the pictures I guess it’s 7/8 inch, just like the diameter of the SV handlebar. Unfortunately I can’t find the dimension anywhere. Hope you can help me out.

Thanks!

Thank you for posting this up. I was looking for good looking functional mirrors and came across this link at SVForum.com This is incredibly helpful and I think I might go this route. The mirrors look great and the install is easy. Thanks, again! This is incredible. Thank you for posting this up.

I believe the stock bars on the Gladius are 7/8" so the mirrors should fit. If there's going to be an issue, it'll be with the Gladius's stock bar end weights. I suggest loosening one of the weights and pulling it out. If it looks similar to <a href="http://bolty.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sv650_bar_end_parts-400x265.jpg" rel="nofollow">this picture above</a> then you'll probably be OK. Just make sure to keep the rubber cylinder and nut from the stock bar ends, and buy the correct bolt to match. Good luck. Let me know how it goes if you decide to try it. @Frank: My answer is “yes, probably.”

I've sat on several examples and the ergos are very nice. The 'Strom is just a little too tall and a little too heavy for me to handle comfortably as a daily rider. I hope you get a chance to try one out. Then think: the exact same motor in a bike that weighs significantly less! I'm pretty sure I have a reciprocal link for you but I'll double check.
