The other day I was heading to my folks house and went into a turn and hit some sand gravel mix and almost dropped the Uly. Well I pulled out of the slide but in the process I leaned forward and the handlebar kinda whipped back to the right and the right mirror slapped me in the helmet breaking off the end of the mirror. I found a stock replacement but have heard that the Aprilia Tuono Mirrors are better for limiting vibration. It has been hard trying to find these for under $34 bucks each. Does any one know of a site that has them. I will also check the local Aprilia dealer in my area as well. Any help would be great. | ||

Go to your local dealer. Should be less than $40.00 for both. But, you may have to wait a few weeks for them. | ||

Tuonos are worth the $$$$ I think they should be standard on the non-fairing Buells. | ||

I really can't tell much of a difference on vibration, but the viewing area is works out quite nicely for me. | ||

American Sport Bike sells them. http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/16113.html If you have the part numbers you can try your Aprilia dealer, but you will have to wait a few weeks, and odds are pay the same amount. | ||

I have seen elsewhere in BWB that someone has put the 1125CR mirrors with integral LED turn signals on a Uly with minor wiring issues. Just a thought. | ||

The BMW GS800 uses the same mirrors. . | ||

The CR mirrors are inferior to the Tuonos in my option, but the integrated signals are nice. | ||

I haven't noticed a big reduction in vibration, but they look a lot better and have a better field of view. You can at least see somewhat behind you. | ||

I agree - vibration about the same but view better. They ARE Italian after all. I can see Tuscany disappearing behind me in the right mirror. | ||

the view is improved....vibes like the guys say...about the same http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=4062&post=1580317#POST1580317 | ||

This is on a cg but between 3K rpm and 6K rpm, my Tuonos don't vibrate any where near as much as the stock lolipops. I get a clear image of what's behind me. Below 3K rpm it's about the same only a better field of vision just like the previous posters have said. | ||

Thanks Everyone I will go by my local Aprilia dealer tomorrow and have them check on them. | ||

I've heard that these KLR650 Mirror Vibration Isolators from Studebaker makes a big difference in the mirrors. I haven't purchased them yet but I plan on getting them this winter. | ||

The mirrors are great. I know what my shoulders look like, and if I were ever in doubt the stocker Mickey Mouses were kind enough to remind me at every glance. They bolt right up, and totally give the bike a different front attitude. | ||

The Aprilia mirrors give you a much better rear view. I also have the KLR650 vibration isolators and HVMP bar end weights and still get some vibration. It is at a lower frequency so to see if that's a light bar of car racks on the car following you, I still have to put my thumb on the edge of the mirror to steady it. | ||

I love the Aprilia Tuono mirrors. I will be using them for all my bikes now on. Work really GREAT on the Uly. | ||

I have had Aprilia mirrors and KLR isolators on for past 4,500 miles and love 'em. Better view and a lot less vibration! | ||
| Nevrenuf |
you can notice the lack of vibration a lot better on a blast. got them on the xt also and have no regrets. | ||

What year fits? And how do you pronounce "Tuono" so I don't sound like an idiot when I go to the parts counter. | ||
| Michael1 |
I think there are part numbers floating around on this website somewhere. If not, pretty much any late gen Tuono mirrors will work. I pronounce it "Two-o-no" | ||

Aprilia Tuono mirrors: Part # AP8104921 & AP8104922 I've had mine for a couple of years, and I like them much better than stock. |
