Does any one here know of an after market supplier for 2nd Gen mirrors?

 

Checked Emgo of course and did not find any listing,

 

A look with Google found lots of mirrors that claimed they would fit. They all looked like they fell off a Klingon Starship.

 

Both the mirrors on my bike have been repaired, fairley well I must say, but if I could replace them and keep the others as spares, i would.

 

Thanks

 

Michael

I've purchased a couple sets of these when I found them on sale for some future projects.

They are obviously not a replica, but they are one of the few mirrors that has the correct type mount for a VFR.  They are also available in Red, White and Blue.

Quick question, do the VFR gen 2 mirrors fit a VF1000R?

I suppose any 10mm screw-on mirror can work with selecting matching washers and nut.

I guess the million times I typed those numbers into the Yahoo group or the Wisc.edu listserv have firmly embedded them in my brain.

 

You need to make up a bushing to locate the upper fairing, or make the mirror nut fit inside the original barrel that serves that function.  I think I just put some hose around mine, intending to do better later.

 

Here's the view:

I guess they do stick out further sideways than original "flag" style mirrors. Just doesn't look right though. 

 

I'm gonna look for some other 10mm screw-on mirrors. Would be nice to not mount them on fairing, too much vibration...

Not sure what you mean.  The original VFR mirrors mount to the upper cowl stay and just go thru a hole in the fairing.  You're gonna mount 10mm mirrors to the exact same location.  And the original style mount also helps steady the upper cowl, there's nothing else up there doing that.
