Looks cool from here
I think it's a generally good mod if you need a mirror and blinker solution.
"Tuono doesn't want to gently take your hand and guide you on a trip, it wants to rip it off and run away with it! I always get the feeling that to ride a Tuono you have to be a real man, prepared to fight it every step of the way, where as on the Triumph you can have an off day and not be left feeling inadequate"

They're off a Ducati Hypermotard, aren't they?
I had to fork out for a new one when some stupid bint hit me on a test ride!
Whoops! Just read the first post.............
"Bikes are an addiction for which there's no rehab!"
Is there an issue with clearance of the front fairing? Did you have to re-position the bar?I saw the ducati hypermotard a couple years ago and have been longing for the handguards that have the integrated signals and folding mirrors ever since.I knew they were going to be impossible to find or prohibitively expensive...that's where eBay comes in
There was another thread about handguards that lit a fire under my ass. I don't much like the plain ones...why not solve 3 problems with 1 addition.
With the handlebars the Tuono looks to be a motard...a fucking bad ass superhyperultramegatard
Presenting....the Hyper Tuono
Spare Parts
I fitted some Brembo racing clutch/brake m/c's and had to pull the bar back a bit as in the original position they were making contact with the fairing or screen.

What he said... you've gotta have some serious clearance issues now, right?
Is your steering range lock-to-lock virtually null now?
I think it looks pretty decent. Functional but not ugly. Any way to get them more horizontal and parallel to one another?

The biggest clearance issue happens when you try to split lanes. Ouch!
But if you live in 49 other states I guess it ain't no biggie anyway.

It may have done so if it were an SV!!!!!!
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Nice work. Not crazy about the look, but its nice workmanship.
I love this place.

Ya there would be clearance issues if I hadn't cut off the part that mounts towards the center of the bar.
See the "spare parts" on my seat...I used cable ties instead of those parts.

superhyperultramegatard : That about sums it all up. Nicely done, looks good.
Funny quip goes here
I liked the concept, but didnt like the practicality of them.
I rode a HM demo when working in a duk shop. Loved the bike, but when flicking them out then in then out........its a PITA. Let alone a safety issue. With the calaber of driver we have on the roads now days, I like to have the least amount of distractions as possible.
Who said you get slower as you get older!
Sorry, but I think it looks like shit.
Why go to all that trouble and expense for mirrors? I reckon they should be as small as possible and out of your field of view. Your business on a bike is in front of you. What's behind you is somebody elses business.
Tape up or take your mirrors off and go for a 'don't think of the children' ride one day. You'll ride a lot better without them.
And while you're at it, tape up the speedo.
