What are folk finding / using in terms of aftermarket mirrors and indicators (turn signals) ?

I’d prefer to avoid bar end mirrors as they widen the overall ‘wingspan’ which is less conducive to filtering.

What have y’all found ?
 
I'm actually going the other way, from stalk mirrors to bar end. I think they work better, but so far I've only tried it with some of the cheap Chinese types. Iøll probably try a pair of Oberons next though.

Can't help with indicators either - only the T160 has these, and that's not on the road yet.
 
I have motogadget indicators on the 961 (mo.blaze pin) and the ES2 (mo.blaze ice - sacrilege, sorry). They work very well but the mo.blaze ice are a bit delicate when there is a clumsy person walking around the work stand- that would be me . Gluing the glass back in seems to work - hopefully.

Did you use the Triumph mounts for them on the 961 ?

Bar end mirrors are ok, but they definitely increase the wingspan which can be a hindrance when filtering. I think this is worse with the SP type handle bars (vs clip ons) as it increases the wingspan at car rear view mirror height.
 
These are Rizoma

Good point, but I don't do much filtering anyway - prefer to stay away from queues on roads! Actually it's also illegal here in Jolly Old Denmark anyway, and drivers do not expect you to do it either.
I've had the occasional clot try to prevent me filtering, but it's not a regular thing.
The Rizoma mirrors look good bet rather pricy.
 
Plenty of bar-end mirrors that rotate and/or swivel inwards to minimise (or remove) that overhang - even on the raised bars.

It’s the trade off between aesthetics and function that’s often the issue I think - the trend to go as discreet as possible. I get a great view of my knees and the occasional glimpse of approaching traffic!!

Can’t go past Rizoma for quality though IMO. Guess ya can sell-on accessories if you return the bike.
