    Hi I broke my left mirror off. I need a recommendation on a new one. One with no rubber sleeve covering them, I bought 2 left mirrors already and they don't seem to fit properly. My bike came with a metal piece to extent them out a little extra. So what do you guys use?

    Oo 5th gens have the only mount that's able to be used with the non condom mirrors, where did it break at? One might hit up Ebay for a single. if the mount is good then just about any Honda mirror will work, it's the base mount thats the deal here that makes things fit. FWIW, I have F4i mirrors on the 00-01 mounts

    Hmm, from those photos you have different mirrors from what the 5th gen comes with. From what I see the plate was made to adapt to what ever version mirrors you have plus maybe give it a bit of extension. I'm not seeing anything that looks broke?

    ok, I kinda figure that. Depending on just actually what you're looking for ( i know you're needing to replace a broken mirror) If it were me, I'd be looking for the stock / correct mounts, from that you can start playing into more options. unless the broken mirror you have has no effect on the mount, then yea ok. That base and the way the mirror bolt pattern width is looks like it could be a 6th gen mirror. Whats ya think 6th gen owners? OOTV?
