rear view mirrors

Post by David »

I have the original fairing mount mirrors on my 1991, not bad but more a view of my elbows than plod behind me.
Any one found anything better?

You could try these David :nod:

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Thanks for the tip.
They fit perfect out of the box.
Not had chance to ride it yet, but sat in the garage I can see the dog behind me not just my elbows.
They come in satin black and I wondered about painting them but they match the black indicators so job done.
Thanks again.

Hi all , could some of you that have these pattern parts mirrors put up some pics to see what they look like on the bike , im thinking they would look good also on my 92, do the rubber covers fit over the mounting area with these on or are they left off ? Also can some of you tell me are these rubber covers available as a part as 1 of mine is torn a bit ? Cheers 👍

Here are the photos, personally I prefer the look to the originals. I have not tried yet but I am pretty sure the original rubber covers will fit.
Only problem is they hold water, so unless you remove and clean regularly the dreaded rot will creep in.
They are what they say on the tin, you really can see behind you and fitting is a direct replacement of the original.
