I just replaced the round, elbow viewing, mirrors with a pair of Yamaha Virago mirrors (aftermarket mirrors made by Emgo). Attached the mirror heads to the stock stalks. I like them alot! Got the pair on ebay for $30 plus shipping. The advantage is that they are wider, thus the field of vision is greater. Their profile is lower also.

Sounds like a good solution--can you post a photo?

Liontari, My computer skills are rather limited, but with my wife's help, I'll attempt to post a pix. K

I bought the same mirrors at a Yamaha dealer for about $29.
Great improvement in what you can see going on in back of you. No more elbows !!!
Also, I think they look much better than the Mickey Mouse ears.
As Kirk said, the profile is much lower giving the bike a whole new look.

So the thread at the top of the stalk is compatible? Great. The lower thread isn't, right?

kdbbros222 · 09-13-2005, 10:05 PM

correct.

Great! I'll get me a pair ASAP--thanks!

Always great to get ideas on replacement mirrors. Looking forward to seeing pics when you get them. I love the bar ends I got from Bella Corse, but I think I'd like a functioning high mirror when going on longer rides.

I put some on mine using the Triumph stems also. Looks good and the looking is even better. Jack

I got the ideal of Yamaha mirrors from Badrufus and put them on a couple of months ago. I got mine for about 25 bucks shipped, off of E-Bay. I love them, they fit on the standard stalks, are wider, sleeker, and look a lot better.
