    a few options
    bring the mirror to a local glass shop and have them cut one out of 1/8" mirror and glue it on with mirror mastic or a nuetral cure silicone.
    or wal mart sells a stick on mirror sheet that you can use, you cut it w/ sissors and peel off the back. prob have to have something flat for it to stick on any 1/8 wood would work if the mirror is totally gone.
    glass shop would prob charge you 25-30 bucks to make pattern and cut it.

    Mirror is $66 bucks on Ronayres.......not worth the time and effort......just buy a new one......not being a dick .......just saying it is dirt cheap. Subtract gas time and bullshit.......free mirror.

    If you want, seeing your only 100 miles from me, send me the mirror and I will cut and fit a new mirror in for you free. You just pay shipping both ways to Cleveland. I've had to do this for mine twice!

    Hey hey I'm surprise somebody actually knows that word. I was for 11yrs forty years ago. Union of coarse started 1970. What's so funny to me. I was working at General Electric in the metal shop and told one of my co-workers that I just got in to the glaziers union. His comment was "why do you want to work with donuts?" Well daaaaaaaaaa:crazy:

    Gino,

    Thanks for the offer. I'm sending my mirror to GreyVF750F for him to fix.

    It's great to have a tight community of riders like this who are so giving.

    Thanks, glad you liked it. It was a small challenge cutting it a part, never did one before like that.
