Aprillia Mirrors on Hyper
Used Rizoma brackets to mount the mirrors, chopped the bars and fitted Rizoma bar ends, fitted some CRG levers and now I like the look and feel much better. I also used one of the hand guard mounts to mount my GoPro (the screw is the same thread!). I like the Aprillia mirrors, as they are pratical (ie you can see stuff) and I like the looks plus at $25 you can't complain about the price.

That looks amazing, I have been looking for something simple and effective like this.
Can you tell me what Aprillia they come from and if you needed anything special to mount them?
Thanks

I believe those are sxv/tuono mirrors. You can also just buy the $8 aprilia clamps if you don't want to spend nearly $100 for the rizoma ones. I know they fit cuz that's what I use.

Thanks, I used the Rizoma mirror mounting bracket but I am sure you can use something cheaper. The local Aprilla shop in Baton Rouge is where I got the mirrors, I believe if you ask for Tunono mirrors you will get this style. I am sure you can find them online at the Buell guys and a few other groups like these mirrors. I have them on my Triumph and BMW as well.
Here is the link for the mirror adapters:

I got the idea from my son who has them on his Honda 599 but it seems on searching that the Buell crew and others have been using them. I have them on my Triumph and BMW so I can actually see something.

Thanks, I like it when things just fit like this. The mount is very sturdy and does not blow about at speed. I have ordered a Zumo 550 GPS and plan on using the other mount for it.
