Replacement Mirrors for R75/7

Post by Beemerick »

Anybody got a good source for a set of mirrors? OEM mirrors look a little pricey ($46 a piece? :shock: ), but none of the aftermarket generic mirrors I've seen online have jumped out at me. Not looking for anything fancy, just something that fits and doesn't look stupid (and let's me see what's behind me)...

I don't know if they're any cheaper, but I like the Napolean bar end mirrors. You CAN see what's behind you.

There are plenty of cheap mirrors out there, but anything as good quality as OEM is no cheaper, and the long 8mm threaded fixing cuts down the choices too.

So as the previous posters have suggested, a decent pair of bar ends are the way to go, and they work better too.
