Decided to make my big upgrade for 2024 and replace my mirrors . Took apart the left side and noticed I was missing a finishing sleeve, see photo. Without this sleeve, the bar end sits up against the mirror. Anyone else have this issue? Took a while to find the part online but I ordered it. These mirrors are pretty nice, definitely happy with them. A9630826 is the part #

I got the round sport mirrors and didn't have to get them separately? Not sure why yours were missing.

Does the round mirrors give you more clearance? I’ve only had my Rocket for about 6 weeks and I’m having difficulty lane filtering in some instances because the stock mirrors stick out so far and seem to be around the same height as car mirrors.
 
A little more, but lots of people flip the stock mirrors around so the narrower end is inwards. In that config, the round would be about the same. But that would look weird on your sport mirrors as they are not symmetrical. You can swivel the mounts up or down as well to raise or lower where the mirror sits, but they'll always be in the "car mirror zone"...
 
You don't like my taste in mirrors? This is the internet so we can't be friends now and I will be putting a snarky comment on all your posts from now on!

Actually no!...I find them too restrictive in doing what they're meant for...looking behind you....but that's in the past...see what i did there?
 
I was lucky enough to find these, they are an original Triumph mirror similar to what you used to be able to get for a Speed Triple. For a smaller mirror they have really good optics and zero vibration.

Forgot to add, consider yourself lucky if you find one Triumph is out of stock for 12 weeks + backordered.
