Mirrors

[Tim Miller]

The angle issue is really no big deal. Just protect the chrome well ( hard plactic ) or soft jaws in the good ole vise....twist alittle then test fit....the chrome won't pop I've done 50+ with no problem. Other wise the Honda quality is excellent.

The good news is that a 8mmx1.25 helicoil treads right into the 10mm hole if you ever want to change back.

Those mirrors are still available from Honda. Thing is, the angle isn't quite right, and they're hard to see with.

Interesting you mention they are hard to see with, I called Western Hills Honda today and Terry said the same thing; he said Honda repopped them a few years back but they don't adjust like the originals and are not hardly useable. He said if its a driver I should find originals or aftermarket ones.

I use 2 short pieces of garden hose.
One at the vise and the other at the mirror end where I use Large Channel Lock Type pliers.. ..............lm

Thanks for the info guys, I think I will get the Honda mirrors, I want the right part but also want them functional, looks like I can get both!
