Dude I love those mirrors. I can't seem to find them on ebay. Got any links to them?Originally posted by James England View PostAnyway, back to something interesting and constructive....re mirrors.. I had some small fancy looking ones which turned out to be completely useless as devices for looking backwards...too prone to vibration and too small. So I bought these off eBay. They are copies of OEM and give a clear, vibration free rear view....

Keep in mind that James' bike is an XJR, and not an XS.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

Thanks. I found a set from a different sellers. Damn near $100 to get them shipped to the states though and I can't find a seller local. Hmm...Originally posted by James England View Post80 GComment

I'm a whizz with international postage. It won't cost anywhere near $100 from the UK. They'd go by small packet rate and could even be sent individually if required, so as to keep to the small packet weight limit.. If you want to buy some from the same UK seller that I got mine from, I could mail them to you by airmail small packet rate.... Even get them for you if you want..... I've shipped quite a lot of bits to the USA..bearings, Nate's clutch cover, Ian's Euro bits etc......Originally posted by totaldrk62 View Post
The offer's there if you need it. I could take mirrors off, package them and weigh it..then get an accurate shipping price for you to consider, before buying new mirrors....Last edited by James England; 03-18-2014, 02:33 AM.XS1100F 1980 European model.

I would do that in a minute. I think those would look fantastic on my 11G. Send me a PM with the info you need and I would gladly throw you a few extra bucks.Originally posted by James England View Post80 GComment

I've found the circular mirrors on my 11G to be pretty solid actually. I'm definitely NOT a fan of the plastic backing which is degrading pretty badly (plastic with chrome stem). The mirrors on my XS650 were utterly useless except for flashing lights... one of them actually got to the point of spinning the glass inside the chrome!
I like round things on my bike, the rear lights have to go. Rectangular tail/brake and rectangular turns just look silly to me on mine.
It's not easy to get round parts for necessarily cheap around me though, as I'm finding out.
