Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by SAMM on 03/17/06 at 10:54:01 Greetings Newguy.. I hate my stock mirrors !! I would like to find something that looks the same but is 2 or 3 inches farther apart.. Im a big guy and have trouble seeing around myself !! I have even put sportster bars on. That helped a little but not quit wide enough yet !! I know I know................. go on a diet !! ??? |

Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by vroom1776 on 03/17/06 at 11:27:37 I've got tear drop mirrors from thunderbike on my V*1100, and 1 stock rectangular mirror on my savage (held on with duct tape). Arlen ness makes the teardrops too, but with rectangular bar instead of round bar. http://bikepics.com/pics/pics/yamaha-xvs1100-04-bikepics-427625.jpg |

Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by Savage_Rob on 03/17/06 at 11:51:17 Stock. They work. I keep hearing horror stories about aftermarket mirrors vibrating so badly they're worthless, so I haven't even looked. To be honest, the mirrors are kinda low on my budget priority list too. |

Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by pgolden on 03/17/06 at 14:51:43 I have a set of chrome billet slotted mirrors. I got them for Christmas. They were bought at JCWhitney. I think they are about $95.00 with shipping. My stock mirrors had a little vibration and so do the new ones. |

Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by Ed_L. on 03/18/06 at 05:53:23 Round mirrors on long stems, when I switched handle bars the stock mirrors weren't long enough. They vibrate a bit when above 55mph, plan to replace them one day when I have saved enough loose change. |

Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by babbalou on 03/18/06 at 09:05:23 I put some budget JC Whitney round ones on & they buzzed a lot. Saw some larger & heavier round ones at my dealer, Emigo 20-35210 & they hardly buzzed at all. But the stems were too short so I could only see my arms. Then went back to the JC cheapies but added Kuryakin ISO grips & it cut the buzzing a lot. The grips seem to have weights in the ends to cut vibes. Functionally, my stockers were best so far, I just wanted round ones. |

Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by Mike M on 03/18/06 at 19:19:03 I replaced the stockers with oval shaped cheapos from JC Whitney. They actually looked pretty good but were difficult to get locked securely into position. They tended to vibrate and had a small, flat surface area. Decided safety was more important than vanity and went back to the stock mirrors. |

Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by WD on 03/19/06 at 10:45:34 Savage has Arlen Ness Stealth 1 series from Drag Specialties. Junk. Intruder has Emgo "universal" short stem Virago/V-Star teardrops. Not bad. Vulcan has Emgo 20-26910, round head, long stem, low mount black cheapies. I like 'em. All 3 are basically useless. So were the stockers. I just glance back over my shoulder before switching lanes. -WD |

Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by Banger on 03/19/06 at 11:00:07 I've got round ones from a 1975 Honda CB500T. Dunno about buzzage—haven't ridden yet since the install. Also got one of the two mufflers from same Honda on the Savage. It's a "pea-shooter" looking pipe and looks/sounds good, having had most of the baffling ratted out of it with thirty years of corrosion. A rejet is coming, but it doesn't run horribly for now. Just gotta richen it up a bit. Regards, Banger ======= |

Title: Re: What kind of mirrors do you all have? Post by mpescatori on 03/24/06 at 03:05:18 I currently have ,,, Honda? aftermarket mirrors, as the ones that came with the bike were good only for looking at my shoulders and elbows >:( I also have chrome steel grips, which look very mean but aren't as uncomfoprtable as I feared. What I'm after is a pair of ox-eye indicators (as Kropatchek has) OR a pair of mirrors such as these http://www.motocycle.co.uk/prod_images/094_339.jpg but until I change the grips I'm not even buying any more... I actually have more bits that I could ever fit on the bike !!! ;D Maurizio |
