What mirror/viper fairing setup do you have?
« on: October 15, 2008, 10:17:51 AM »
I need a good looking (to me) idea for a fairing/mirror combo. I found one that looked interesting.

Here is where I am at.  I am looking at the cheap viper or equivalent fairing.  The stock mirrors do not suit me.  They look uneven and the PO broke the part that it mounts to on the left side control.  I am looking at replacing the bars with a 2.5" rise and not sure if bar end mirrors look quite right from some of the pics I have seen.  Drag bars and clubmans are not a choice for the wife's first bike and I see that bar end mirrors seem to fit that look well.

I like the setup in the link above with fairing mounted mirrors.  Any suggestions and pics for something like this?  What kind would I need to look for (what bike they were originally i intended for) and where can I get a set.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

First of all, I agree that this looks pretty good. HOWEVER, judging by the photos, it doesn't look very functional at all. It makes me wonder if the rider of the bike can see anything at all in those mirrors other than themselves.

To go with something like that, you would need longer stems.
