Because most of their dealers can't tell them how to remove the seat! But you've got the Workshop Manual, poppers. And isn't it a wonderful thing?

I don't bother using it most of time. Unless I'm going to be away for a while. The mirror was handy and gas station or taking a quick break

Yes it is. And the '14 manual came in yesterday. I took it apart and put it in a binder. That was fun--not Smile

Could also go on helmet hook on right side of bike.

I showed that to my friend a few weeks ago, he got a little jealous since his Bonnie doesn't have built-in locks, much less two of them Celebrate

Definitely didn't know until I read the manual

That's exactly why I wanted stalk mirrors again...just a nice spot to hang your helmet while at a pit stop

RE: Mirror options for CB1100 - uscgmac_imp - 05-03-2016

I just hang my helmet on the rear passenger peg on the low side opposite the exhaust. Just close the strap and hang it there. It leans against the swing arm and doesnt touch the painted part of the helmet.

That's a great idea! Setting a helmet up on the gas pump sucks

They really look good. Can you see behind you better than the stock mirrors?

Looks great Whiskey - how have they been holding up? Are they staying in place well or vibrating excessively? Also: got a link to the specific eBay listing/vendor?

No vibration issues. Mirrors remain useful all the way to the speed limiter. If the mirrors are moving enough to where I can't see what is behind me, then so is the rest of the bike. Allen bolts are easy to tighten down and have not needed to be adjusted since the initial install.

Price went up by $10 because I made them cool. Haha
