Title: Replacement Mirror Size
Post by Jacob on 03/25/13 at 21:30:21

I am looking at a pair of replacement mirrors. Does anyone know the screw size for my 2012 Suzuki S40 650. It comes with adapters for two different sizes but figured I'd check with the pros just to be 100%. Thanks

10?...12?...
There's only really 2 common sizes (that I know of)... ours is the most common...
Yamaha's have reverse threads on one side... ours don't...
We have the easy common type...
Lucky, lucky,...us...

The problem with Yamaha cruiser mirrors, at least the Virago and early V-Stars is not the thread size, which is 10mm. The problem is one side has a reversed thread pitch.

If the mirrors you like say 10mm Honda, Kawasaki or Suzuki, they'll fit fine.

Want Harley or Honda 8mm/5/16" drop throughs? Drill out your lever screw holes. That's how HD mirrors have mounted for decades... and they are a lot less likely to vibrate loose than generic metric screw in types.

Or, buy a set of clamp on mirrors, toss the mounts and hog out a set of Memphis Shades handlebar clamps to accept the stem's knurled section. That's what I run, and it is rock solid.

Does anyone else have trouble with their shoulders blocking part of the view in the mirrors? Are there longer armed mirrors that are a common swap for that issue?

I don't know about longer mirrors, but wider handlebars or bar end mirrors will help. :-/

Seriously,.. you can't beat bar-end mirrors for clearing shoulders...

I have (had) these on my bike. Only $24 including shipping and solves the problem.

Yep, longer mirrors or wider bars... both will get the job done.
