Buddy 125 Replacement Mirrors

Post by Voodoo Pork »

Hey folks, I just bought a 2006 Buddy 125cc and it needs a replacement mirror. The Engrish owner's manual is totally worthless and I don't really know what size they are. What's the specs on the mirrors and some good places to buy online?

Anything 8mm will work fine, I cant remember anymore which side is reverse threaded, I think right maybe, I forgot.

I dont remember which is reverse either but ebay had some great mirrors in 10mm so i had to find some adaptors. Koso mirrors also come with a universal fit kit. Congrats on the new purchase and good luck on the mirror.Image

jfrost is right - 8mm threads. The right mirror is reverse thread (so that if the mirror gets hit, it comes unscrewed, rather than breaking off).

My repair shop recognized this as the "Yamaha" thread - evidently they are known for having 8mm mirrors with the right reversed.

best of luck!
Yes, that's Ganesh painted on a scooter. No, it's not mine.

Which side do you need? I may have one NIB to sell.
