My New Mirrors

Post by dakotamouse »

Image

Found these while looking through my husband's J&P Metric Cruiser catalog. I'm hoping they won't have the wobbly mirror syndrome my originals did. They don't fit in the mirror post holes but I'm using a Prima windshield which has extra mounts for the mirrors. These have a 10 mm thread so I had to drill the holes out some.

I like the scroll on them but I really think I'm going to like the wider view.

I'm not too keen on the pinstriping, but those mirrors look fantastic. My stock Buddy mirrors wobble mostly at idle. It's a little annoying and one is looser than the other.

A friend of mine has been swapping his mirrors on his Aprilia a bunch. I wouldn't want to end up in that loop.

This is what they look like from the front of the scoot.

Trying to get a picture from the glass side with a flash just drowned out the scroll marks.

If I had the Black Jack I'd even be tempted by those skulls! :twisted:
