CB750 - mirrors?
« on: March 29, 2007, 01:56:05 PM »
Im looking for a single mirror to fit onto my cafe CB750K2 - have stock mountings (prefer left side) -does anyone have a good source for stock looking round mirrors? The one I have at the moment has that little rubber lining around the outside and the mirror itself is useless....looking for a clean look and good mirror. Anyone have any recommendations?

cheers
Andy

I need a set also, mine are round plastic and cracked. They may not be lovely, but they don't vibrate.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

 I have a set of EMGO mirrors on mine that I like the look of.   They were $15 or so each at my local Honda shop.

Thanks Hopterfixer, I did see the EMGO mirrors and wondered what they were like...

this is what i have on at the moment but what you cant see is the poor quality mirror...





I guess I like the bend in these as they fit the cafe bars well. Are the fittings from the universal mirrors all the same? - will they fit our stock mounts?

thanks
Andy

The ones I bought were the correct thread size.  I like them, you can see clearly through them and they stay put.  I do have to dip an elbow to see behind me, but that may be due to my stature :-\
