Mirror adapters
« on: June 22, 2011, 05:53:14 PM »
I have a Yamaha XS650 with the wonky reverse threads on the master cylinder side. I also have a set of really nice, brand new, Yamaha mirrors that fit, look and work great.

 Only problem: I swapped the master cylinder out for one with conventional threads. I can find plenty of adapters to run "regular" mirrors in the reverse threads, but nothing to adapt the reverse thread mirrors to a standard hole. Am I making sense?
 Where can I get an adapter to run a LH thread mirror in a RH thread hole?

I don't think you can.  I've tried to do that a couple time, trying fit "Yamaha" mirrors into "non-Yamaha" applications. 

No luck.

Keep us updated if you find some adapters.
