Looking for pics of round and rect mirrors on bike (Read 110 times)

Cavi Mike Serious Thumper Offline Thumper n00b Posts: 1005 Rochester, NY Gender:	Looking for pics of round and rect mirrors on bike 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.

Re: Looking for pics of round and rect mirrors on Reply #1 - 09/17/12 at 23:13:41 How about cutting out some shapes from paper plates & tapi9ng them on to see what looks good? Guzzi has a tapered mirror, kinda teardropish..

They're long gone. I didn't like them so I sold them. I'll be going with black mirrors.

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.

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.

On 2 wheels since 7/87

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.
