Small 3.5" Mirrors for older CB750's with 10mm threads
« on: October 31, 2007, 06:57:58 PM »
Guys, where can I get the small, 3.5" mirrors with 10mm threads? The ones available from Honda are 4" and same with aftermarket ones.

I want to find some of the older small diameter ones.

Thanks,
Gordon

For my project I bought two sets of mirrors and made one set out of them.  The stems were 10mm threaded ones that had a slip over type 4" mirror.  I think they were Emgo; I bought them from Dennis Kirk.  I then bought a set of Harley 3" mirrors that were also the slip over type but had a short stem with a standard pitch threaded end.  I simply installed the 3" mirror on the 10mm stem.  I didn't want my mirrors to be too high up so I did carefully bend the 10mm stems to bring the mirrors down.  This setup works pretty well but I am probably going to switch to a different set of grips and use Oberon bar end mirrors instead. Here's a couple of pics

I don't ride with the tape on. I was getting ready to spray paint my entire bike with black primer but didn't want to paint the numbers over on the plate.  I decided to take some "before" pictures at the last minute but forgot to remove the tape :D
