chrome+humidity=annoying

So, I finally gave up on my classy chrome mirrors since they kept getting rusty even when I was cleaning them
pretty regularly. I went up to the MC shop to see about getting some replacement mirrors, I asked about the
Vino Classic mirrors as they look identical to the short stem ones on my '07 Buddy... But then I asked about
the '09 Zuma 125 mirrors and it just so happened they had some in stock! A guy ordered some for a rat bike
he was working on and they wouldn't fit since they have reverse threads on one side. So I tried 'em out on my
scoot and they worked great so I bought them and they won't rust cuz they're plastic... ah, thanks Yamaha.

I know they don't quite look as good as the chrome, but I'm just tired of the hassle.

I think they look pretty good. Blend nicely with the grips and brake levers.
Nevermind that I'm a diehard subscriber to the "Form Follows Function" philosophy.

The mirrors look good and tie in with the black grips nicely. But I LOVE the pin-striping you did! Very tasty.

Welcome to the club! We should start a thread named "Buddies with black mirrors are faster than those w/ chrome."
