    mirrors

    I was thinking I would like some bigger / stuck out further mirrors.
    The little round stock ones just seem to close in for me.
    Any suggestions? (about mirrors - not my weight or riding habits)
    Thanks

    Back in the 80s Honda made some great anti-vibration mirrors for their bikes, you can find them in salvage yards or order them new from the dealer, or pick up a set of reproductions, but the repros are chrome and tend to rust if if not cared for, but I think the originals were stainless and take less maintenance. these mirrors look good on a full dress bike or one with a windshield. They also came in different lengths depending on size and model. I've had a set on my bike for about 10 years and it amassing how steady they are and it's really nice to know if that car way back there has lights on the top or if it is just a sky rack.

      adapters

      You probably all ready know that with any mirrors except Yamaha you will have to use adapters, because of the left hand thread on one side.

        I have honda mirrors and adapters on my bike so far so good and the adapters put them up about an inch. Ebay is the place got them for less then 12 bucks shipped.
        I hate signatures. Too many cars and Bikes to list here.
