Best Looking Mirror Swap For a Third Gen?

Seattle · 11-04-2008, 07:52 AM

Hey Guys,

Looking to replace the funky condum mirrors on my bike. Curious what others have gone with. I don't want to have to customize anything just a simple swap.

Suggestions?

2001 VFR mirrors are the way to go. Condomless, clean and all good.

Seattle · 11-04-2008, 09:13 AM

Any pics of them on the bike?

Ditto on the 2001 condomless mirrors.

Y2K mirrors FTMFW; RVFR has a set on his 4G, and EMGO will have aftermarket ones for sale around the end of the year. This topic has been talked about pretty regularly so a search should produce some good pics.

Not sure if the signals will fit but I did this on my Gen6:

I can find 2nd , 3rd, and 4th gen mirrors on Ebay but I can't find the elusive 5th. Honda dealer wants $125 a side! Can anyone point me in the right direction?

speaking of mirrors i have a 92 750 how close will jet black be to the factory color of my bike its like the dark blue met. that looks black

will post a pic over the weekend. I am returning my bike to street form (from track) and will photo mirrors. The emgo condom jobs stink (the black color comes off if hit by wax).

ServiceHonda has them for $67 and change. You'll need the rubber gasket that goes underneath them too.

Woohoo, 500th post!!!
