I've been considering putting handlebar end mirrors on my XE for some time and was considering the ones sold by Tec Triumph in the UK
By pure chance a came across a 'as new' set on eBay UK and took the plunge. If I don't get on with them I'll advertise them on here for what I paid for them
Very easy to fit. Tec have a fitment video on their website

First impressions are that they give a good view of the road behind with no loss due to shoulders etc. The blind spot is about the same. In the end I think it will boil down to aesthetics.
NOW A WORD OF WARNING!
When I removed the left hand mirror I discovered that a wire from the switch had been rubbing against the head of the allen bolt that holds the mirror on. It's worn through the isolation and you can see the different coloured wires inside.
I've already been to my local (8 miles away) Triumph dealer and submitted a warranty claim. The dealer thinks they will replace the entire left hand side switch housing. I should know by the end of the week and I'll keep you posted.
Whilst at the dealers I looked at 1 second hand and 2 new Scramblers and their wiring were well away from the mirror bolt head so no problem. Even so, it's worth checking yours
Mike as an out of warranty repair could be very expensive.
In the mean time I've temporarily repaired the wire with insulation tape, but that's not the point
If I hadn't changed my mirrors I'd probably not noticed it until something controlled by the left hand switch went wrong
