  • 80 G mirrors

    Ok.. What style mirrors came with the 1980 xs11 G? I am thinking they are the round ones just like previous year Standards. I am restoring the 80 G and want to be original as possible.

      Not sure if the ones on my 80G are original, but they are round and made of metal. I'll try to get some pics up soon.

        Mine are metal also. I believe they are stock. Chrome stems and black matte back finish. I have them pointed and turned a bit funny, but it's how they work with how the bars are comfy for me (I'm not so sure the bars are stock, might be, might not be).

          My stock mirrors on my 78 are chrome stems with a round plastic mirror housing.
