Sure do! Look for adapters for Yamaha right-hand mirrors, all of which are reverse threaded. Some will be labeled Vino or Zuma.

Dude, how do you know all this stuff???

No no, those adapters in the link will not work. You need 8mm male to 10mm female adapters. I bought a set off eBay a while back and they fit, but they were poor quality and didn't stay tight. They kept loosening up as I was riding.

This is what I got. You need these exact specs but I would not recommend these (although the seller was great).

I did find these and they certainly look better quality, but I think I've abandoned my idea of using my RAM ball-mount mirrors off another bike. I'll probably just get the Yamaha Vino mirrors.

I think where ericalm is confused is that Yamaha motorcycles also have reverse threaded right-side mirrors and they are 10mm. So if you have standard 8mm mirrors you want to put on your motorbike, you need to get 10mm reverse threaded adapter for the right-side mirror.

I know more about mirrors (and tires!) than I ever cared to know.

Thanks, siobhan!

Apparently, this time I didn't!

I'm lazy. Once i found mirrors I liked, I had the holes re-tapped.
