I’m about 1/2 way into resurrecting a lovely 1977 R100S into a reliable rider. It has a throttlemeister friction device installed that I use routinely. Unfortunately the stock mirrors stink and I’d like to install a set of Napoleon bar end mirrors with the throttlemeister. I was thinking of making the mirror purchase and see what I can fabricate to make this work. By chance has anyone here tried to do the same with good or not so good results?
Thanks all
If you use a bar end mirror there is an unconventional option. Get a new hand grip and cut the hole for the mirror undersized. The tighter, rubber on rubber fit can hold the throttle and allow the rider to relax the grip occasionally.

The S is not the RS. I got a pair of mirror extenders for my RS from a guy who was making them. They made a huge difference!

More better!
I would say the S fairing would be similar to my R65 LS so bar end mirrors should work fine.
Thanks all, I've got a few ideas now.
