Mirrors

[Bulphan dave]

Hi all,
I'm looking to fit a mirror on to my 62 a10, there's lots on sale but can anybody recommend a particular model and supplier

Cheers dave

This is the type I have, (only one) https://goo.gl/L1xP7n I was not happy with the supplied flat mirror so bought a convex replacement mirror insert. I needed to use Loctite to stop the mirror working loose. I'm pretty sure mine is stainless steel, although that one is chrome.

On my '59 Super Rocket I fitted a stainless bar end mirror, obtained from Priory Magnetos.  I've posted before that I'm very happy with that, on a bike that has a very upright riding position.  The style is what I think of, rightly or wrongly, as like the Stadium mirror I had, on a C15 way back.

On the cafe style RGS (avatar) I fittted one of these...

I've been happy with that too although 'traditional' looking it is not.  There's also one on my RGS lookalike that presently also has a more upright riding position (since the clip-ons contributed to me taking a tumble one day).
At the price of these alloy framed mirrors I thought 'what's to lose?' but I've been pleased with them.
I'm not sure the link is the exact supplier I used but I suspect the product comes from the same Chinese factory and the price looks similar to what I paid.

I use something like this;

They are available from myriad suppliers in varying materials and finishes. Then I mount a Bumm short stem mirror on that. Very little trouble from vibration. I also use one for a ball mount for sat nav.

just for the record recently bought a handlebar mirror from Beezamacc ( Priory mag fame ) excellent quality and fit plus resonable price.

Here's a picture of the mirror I bought from Priory Magnetos in about 2015.

Same as mine. I changed the mirror to a convex one cos the supplied flat mirror was like looking through a hole.

Do you have a flat mirror in your four wheeler(s)?

 You bet I do- flatties all 'round, with the exception of a small stick-on convex one on the van for L/H low down blind spot detection
