Topic: Napolean Mirrors; Left or Right??

[736cc]

Are Napolean bar-end mirrors left and righties, or do they interchange either side?

Should be universal.

Should be universal. 

Yep, they fit every which way. left, right, above bar, below bar, etc.. fully adjustable

Are you sure those are Napoleon brand mirrors.  The Emgo knock-offs are cheap, but the Napoleons are well made.  I've had the same pair of Napoleon chrome bar end mirrors for about 8 years and there's no rust on them at all.

Gordon, where did you find those?

Gordon, where did you find those?

Bought them at some bike accessory shop in Austin, TX about eight years ago.  I'm sure they're still available through various on-line suppliers.

Hmm...  I can't seem to find any chrome ones on-line right now.  I did find some info that Napoleon was out of stock of the chrome ones last Summer, but I'd think that would be taken care of by now.

As far as the finish on the black ones is concerned, I have a feeling that the people who said the finish doesn't hold up well were referring to the cheaper brands.  The Napoleon mirrors often get a bad rap because they get lumped in with the inferior, but similar looking brands.

Gordon is right,Napoleon chrome holds up well,the one on my 74 CB750K is 25yrs old and chrome still looks good.Bill
