Been riding around a little and one thing is for sure... I got to get some decent mirros before I kill myself.

I have a single RH stock mirror right now and definitely need something for the LH side. I was wondering what other mirrors are available besides the stock ones. I know I can get bar end mirrors and I may go that route but I wanted to see what others have done. I am running superbike bars if that matters...

I got some black Chinese mirrors for 10 dollars off E-bay - sort of like Z-1 mirrors but rectangular. They look "period" and unobtrusive. "motorcycle mirrors" on E-bay!! I have flat bars.

I don't have an answer for ya but I know these stock mirrors leave a lot to be desired , I posted on KTOG about the mirrors we have a big vintage bike show in July with lots of vendors I plan to search out some rectangle mirrors and just shelf the stockers.

I cruised eBay a little. Not a lot to choose from unless you want the skeleton ones or the big honkin ones with "Live to Ride" etched on them

I bought mirrors at the Honda shop, repops for older Hondas, they look right and they was cheap. They go out of adjustment as you reach red line on a triple.

Saw some Z1 shorty mirrors that I think would be perfect.
