Title: Oppinion on Round Mirrors... Post by Wake51 on 02/15/12 at 20:11:29 I'm looking to buy some replacement round mirrors for my Savage. The square ones just look a bit... off... However I want to compromise as little visibility as possible. I found these... but its says the head is ABS plastic. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Round-Motorcycle-Mirrors-Honda-CB500-CB550-CB650-/190390206221?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2c5423ff0d Then there were these, which are all metal, but only have a 4" mirror compared to the 5" above. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pair-Round-Motorcycle-Mirrors-Honda-Kawasaki-Suzuki-/370382941243?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item563c8b2c3b Opinions? |

Title: Re: Oppinion on Round Mirrors... Post by Boofer on 02/15/12 at 20:35:44 Wake, I get the feeling this could be another tire or oil war. Mine came with some rectangle chrome EMGO, I believe. The are getting a little grungy, so I may paint them black. If I mess up another set is less than $20 and some are less than $15. I know folks who are happy with the plastic. Happy hunting. |

Title: Re: Oppinion on Round Mirrors... Post by Serowbot on 02/15/12 at 21:13:49 Da erf is round,... so round mirrors show ebryting... :-?... Square, round, trapezoidal,... not really the issue.. What matters is the amount of convex (wide angle) to the glass... Too much, and everything is tiny specks... not enough, and you see nostrils... Don't buy mirrors that show (actual size)... bike mirrors are too small to be useful that way. ...but, really wide angle mirrors are not useful either... Best to hold them at arms length, and see what you can see... |

Title: Re: Oppinion on Round Mirrors... Post by teabowl13 on 02/16/12 at 12:01:02 I think the biggest difference between the two you have posted is the length of the arm. The second mirror IS smaller, but it will hang out wider, and that may give you a better view than a larger mirror that only shows you your elbows.... |
