Mirror Swap for the 500's / 350's

#1 Post by ChequeredFlagRacing » Wed Aug 18, 2021 5:50 am

Anyone know which mirror this may have come from?
Nearest I've found so far is the 2008 Yamaha YZF125 mirrors maybe a solution as it has a similar mounting hole in the stalk.

Looked at some of those and they don't have the molding lines you can see on the plastic in my second picture

Looked at them today and they have a slight steeper angle at the base and they can`t be mounted this way without modifying the base.

They do have the same moulding lines but maybe not that visible (OEM mirrors)
I think they are Honda mirrors.
But you never know, Japanese OEM`s often use the parts from the same suppliers with a different logo and part number on them.

Honda Vfr800 or Hyosung 250 mirrors according to Fastline Superbikes here in the UK
The angle on the stalk at the bolt fixing looks shallow
