SuzukiSavage.com - Replacement Mirror Size

Jacob Junior Member Offline 2012 Suzuki S40 650 Posts: 60 Ford City, PA Gender:	Replacement Mirror Size 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

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.

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.
