Svet Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi there, I broke my left mirror on my 02 VFR, and I am looking for a replacement. I wanted to get OEM but the price seemed too high. Also I saw aftermarket mirrors on ebay for a lot cheaper. Should I trust the aftermarket ones? Do they have the same type of mirror, where the objects look smaller as the original? I just did not want to purchase one and when I get it to find out that it is not worth it. Any suggestions? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer obryap Posted April 11, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have the EMGO mirrors on my 02, as close to OEM as you can find. Good quality & perfect match to the stocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I bought two mirrors from Cycle Gear that were an exact match except for the stem. I think they were for a CBR. $15 each. Just had to swap the mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Actually IIRC there was a thread about this a week or so ago, and the aftermarket mirror had a little longer stim as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc339 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 broke mine a few weeks ago and picked up an emgo mirror from motorcycle-superstore.com for about $35. quality is great and its pretty close to identical. My only issue is the angle of the arm is different than the OEM so the new mirror sits about and inch higher than the OEM. cant really notice it but it really freaking bothers me for some reason...

In stead of balancing the arms looking down on them, move one(forward or aft)so when looking from the seated position they'll look the same when looking into them.................. Might work?

PACIFICMAN Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have been using the EMGO mirrors and see NO difference. At one point I had one stock and one EMGO. They were absolutely identical. I get mine at StarCycle in Lebec CA. $30 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CharlesW Posted April 11, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 11, 2012 Depending on what "Broke my mirror" covers, you might be able to have it repaired. Broken glass or broken stem? If you snapped off the stem where it attaches to the cowl mount, it might be possible to have it welded. (I have had this done a couple of times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vanion2 Posted April 11, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 11, 2012 I replaced my left with an EMGO duplicate and it looks just like the original. Works great. Got another set I put on my Ninja 500 to replace the stockers and they also work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svet Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks for everyone's input. The stem broke off and I don't think I can find s/o to weld it here for price cheaper that what I can buy the aftermarket ones for. I'll try check the EMGO.
