Title: Looking for pics of round and rect mirrors on bike
Post by Cavi Mike on 09/17/12 at 22:45:38

I can't really seem to visualize either plus I don't care for round but I think they will match the bike better than rectangular. I need some pictures to give me an idea and help me decide which direction I want to go.

How about cutting out some shapes from paper plates & tapi9ng them on to see what looks good? Guzzi has a tapered mirror, kinda teardropish..

I assume you mean tape them to my factory mirrors? They're long gone. I didn't like them so I sold them. I'll be going with black mirrors.

If the bike was in working order and I was using it as I was building I would have done the same. Not the case here. I got rid of everything I didn't like so I could start fresh. Well, as fresh as my skills and budget would allow.

If I go with rectangle mirrors, this is what I'm going with.

I'm sure it wont be hard to find round ones.

I also have a set of Emgo round mirrors. They are the 4" with 8" stem. I think they fit the personality of the bike much better than rectangular. When I get to my personal PC, I can post a pic.

I run cat eye mirrors on really short stems. The law says you have to have them, doesn't say squat about they have to be functional...

I've since mounted them where the control boxes were, much more useful, in fact, better than the stock ones were.

Mine are clamp on type, got sick of dealing with the left one flopping in the breeze. Even red Loctite didn't hold it in place.

I'm not a fan of shapes other than round or rectangle.

I have these round ones. Really like them, but you are peaking between your elbow and sides. Mount them on top and all you see is shoulder.

I have these too. 2 different length stems. A little better visibility than the round ones. they're for sale if you're interested.
