What Mirrors Are These?

Romi3 · Jul 23, 2014

Looking to get two new mirros eaxctly like these, as I don't have a right hand one and the left is a bit rusty in areas. I have searched high and low to find these exact mirrors, but have not had any luck. These look familar to anyone?

Pretty robust shaft. Might hold a bike up..

Make sure you check the stem thread size/type.
The Japanese will have a metric M12? and the switch bracket is 3/8" x 24 tpi.

Not too difficult to re-tap the hole (if already damaged by the original chromed steel stem vibrating in the alloy bracket)
to the metric thread and get a wider choice of mirrors.

Bob Z, good point. I only have the left side, but can see if threads match up, which they probbaly wont. Anyway, since these are not facotry from Norton or Triumph, I may just opt to find a cool low profile set of new mirrors. Thanks for the input!

You are best to look for mirrors with stainless shafts. [ at least you can keep them polished ] The chroming on the steel ones is useless. I gave up with my 850 and ended up painting the shafts black. The stainless ones on the 750 have been good. Generally the mirrors fare better for some reason. Is it because they are usually brass or something like that?

My modern EMGO rectangular mirrors are stainless heads.

These look pretty cool and would look clean on the bike.
