Put bar end mirrors on the V7III. MG offers a nice little "plug" to place where the original mirrors were.

$75.00???

Off to the hardware store....

Probably priced by the same people who offer the 1-hour-labor/$200 tire change ....

Someone's probably paying it ....

ACE Hardware has metal caps that work.

These are better options

But you also can’t beat the convenience of the Ace hardware option

Seventy five bucks!

I don’t just fart in their general direction! I fart directly at them and with pin-point accuracy!

Those are the same darts we use to install snowmobile windshields. Cost about .25 each.

When I was a kid, I heard Paul Boomer and Lord Windesmere on late night radio. I laughed until I cried..

The bar ends on the EV would fall off after the nut inside the handlebar cracked. Guzzi wanted 75 bucks for one. I machined my own out of aluminum.

Well you guys need to keep in mind all the hard work, the years of research and development, design requirements, packaging development to bring this unique custom piece to market

That's ok, you lost me at "Put bar end mirrors on"

Perazzimx14 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 05, 2018, 07:20:02 AM »

I used some .375" Hillman matte black plastic plugs form Lowes that cost $1.12 a pair

msullivan · « **Reply #16 on:** April 05, 2018, 07:49:00 AM »

You can just take the 2 screws out and flip the bracket upside down thats what my dealer mentioned to me when I bought the bar ends.

Joe A. · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2018, 07:59:22 AM »

Glad to see it's not just me that thinks it's outrageous!

Kev M.- My Breva came with bar ends, didn't care for them at first, but did grow to like them

thanks for the suggestions, saved me some time and definitely $$$!

My Breva came ugly from the factory. Like the mother of an ugly child I grew to love it (not really, I just grew to accept it).

Joe A. · « **Reply #19 on:** April 05, 2018, 08:42:30 AM »

BTW, as a heads up, keep an eye on the classifieds here as I will be selling the aforementioned Breva 750. Now that I have the V7III, it's rather redundant! This was Ratguzzi's bike and it is well sorted with approx. 25k on the clock. It has Hepco-Becker 30 liter cases and HB luggage rack. YSS rear shocks and IIRC, Progressive front springs, bike is very taut! Extras include a spare final drive, dash and other misc. bits. Looking to get $2500.00 for a hopefully quick sale.

If it's anything like the Jackal you sold me someone will get a good deal.

It is. It's a great running bike!

MG Cycle is building their on-line catalog from scratch and hand-entering the items. It's entirely possible that they missed a decimal on that listing. I've called them in the past when prices looked out-of-line or descriptions/fitment seemed wrong and they've corrected the listings. Maybe a call to them about the price would change it?

jbell · « **Reply #23 on:** April 05, 2018, 03:19:07 PM »

But they're so cute, they have dimples. Surely that has to be worth extra.

I think that $75 is correct. I priced those through my dealer when I put bar ends on my V9 Bobber. I didn't buy them. I bought new Brembo front clamps without mirror holes from Todd at GuzziTech. $24.

elvisboy77 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 05, 2018, 09:45:48 PM »

Laugh all you want, I was skeptical too. I bought a pair, they are actually very nice. Not something you can get at a hardware store. So unless you have seen them, I suggest you not judge.

. Well that's definitely cheaper. Better?

....now if these were parts for a certificated airplane I’d say “and so it goes”, or some such.
PMA, TSO, etc, etc.
.075 AMU does seem a bit much for those.
