Magazi round black mirrors

I just got some new mirrors in, and I love them so much I decided to share a few pics here. Initially I installed some napoleon mirrors, but found that they were a bit too wide for my liking... and for some reason just didn't really match the style of the bike especially with clip ons and the GT dash drop kit.

These are Magazi round black mirrors, I got them from amazon for $114 shipped. Kind of pricey, but I think worth every penny. The build quality is fantastic, and they will work out of the box with the stock mirror mounts (they come with all sorts of different mounting hardware). The lenses are 4" wide and convex, so they have a very supple field of view. Next up are a set of Todd's CNC levers :)

Here are the pics

Happy and safe riding everyone :)
 
Wow, those do look good on there! Much better than bar end mirrors, thanks for posting...I gotta check those out..
 
Thanks mwrenn! Just took it for a spin. It sure seems like it made a difference to the look of the bike, 3 people took the time to roll down their windows at stoplights and tell me what a nice bike it is.. the first one not even 60ft from my driveway! lol. I mean I get comments all the time on the bike, but this was just a bit more than usual.

Maybe it's just in my head ;)
 
Funny what a difference a set of mirrors will make! Lol. Really, those are the first mirrors I have seen on a V7 that just looked right...I think it is the way they are just about parallel with the handlebar, not sticking up at an angle...very cool!
 
Hi JG

Very attractive looking set up. I am sorely tempted! I run Napoleons on my Stone which look OK with stock bars and a cunning arrangement which keep them from extending beyond the width of the bars. I am interested to know what clipons you have fitted and if you had any issues with sufficient space between the forks and headlight nacelle for ease of placement of the clamps.
You are creating one cool cat of a machine.

Thanks so much Das! I really appreciate it. The improvements have really turned it up a notch from my perspective, too. The bike feels so much tighter and compact while lane splitting. Feels more zippy and less like a wide cockpit you might find on a cruiser. I like that a lot, it inspires me to relax yet hunker into it. It seems to be set up perfectly for my body now. Still some adjustments to make with the rear brake lever though! And obviously suspension.

Anyway, to answer your question. They are Tarozzi clips (high rise). The 40mm clamps do fit on the fork tubes, but they fit better with the GT dash drop kit- there is more clearance now. Before, they were kinda scrunched on there.

Also had to flip the bracket that goes from the 40mm clamp to the bar rod (the high rise part) so that the front brake master cylinder and clutch sensor cable would clear properly and allow me to tilt the levers forward and down.
Hope this helps! Thanks again!
 
Thanks JG. Good to get that feedback. I can appreciate the relaxed/hunkering dichotomy. My other bike is a 1998 Honda VTR 1000 with quite low clipons which along with the rearsets results in a relatively aggressive riding position. Way different to the stock Stone setup but I love it. A narrower profile and leaning forward posture seems to me to be appropriate for being on a motorbike. Sort of more involved and integrated. I have often thought something along similar lines without being so extreme would go down well with the beloved Stone. A couple more questions. How is it in wet weather riding without a rear fender? Aesthetically I like the look - just wondering how it goes in real world conditions. Second, how much extra space does the dash drop kit create?
For what it's worth I have upgraded front and rear suspension. Alloy Ikons on the rear and higher spec progressive springs and fluids in the forks. I weigh in at not much over 160 lb and found the stock suspension kind of harsh.
Keep up the good work. You have a great eye for coooool.

Nice! This is my first bike so I can't even imagine what a fast one like that must feel like! The 750 in the Stone feels like plenty for me.. right now at least ;)

I live in LA so we rarely ever get rain here. And if we did, I'd prolly be driving the truck! Haha. So sorry, no real feedback on the fender eliminator yet. I imagine you would get some splash up. However, the attach point for the license plate is solid so that probably helps.

I am at about the same weight with gear and I find the same w/ the suspension- a bit harsh! I've been talking to Todd about going with RaceTech or Matris for rears and switching oil viscosity in the fork. Thanks for your feedback as well!

And thank you for the kind words :)
