Why is it so difficult to find a darn mirror? - FLYTYM_imp - 02-21-2019

It’s time to replace the mirrors and can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. The style is a small generic rectangle mirror on a short stem. Years ago these were everywhere. EMGO makes the mirror but it has the logo on the back,the mirror I had years ago didn’t have the logo and that’s what I’m lookong for. I’ll post a picture when I get a chance,anybody happen the know what size the threads are,I’m thinking 8 MM.

It sounds like you maybe be looking for the stock mirrors on the '91-'03 Nighthawks. I considered putting a set of these on my CB11, but ultimately the lollipops grew on me.

Nice backdrop Flynrider. Like the colour of the N.Hawk. I remember when the early 90's N.Hawks were new. I compared them to their predecessor of the early 80's. (*sigh*) [url=https://youtu.be/vC0Qt1lvLq8]Time Waits For No One.

FLYTYM, check out this old post I listed and see if the mirror is what you are looking for. http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10974&pid=181596#pid181596 I have a pair NIB I am not using, Honda OEM, same stamping on the mirror as the Lollipops. Stems are almost identical length angle bend to stock, same thread for direct screw in. PM if interested.

I got a set of the mirrors I posted,I can used to the logo for now. I’ve opened a FLICKR account to post pictures,just need to figure it out.

[url=https://postimg.cc/2q34LYdN][Image: f5d5ab5cdebb70649e933a4cc20a0642.jpg] This is the mirror I’ve been looking for,the best looking mirror as far as I’m concerned.

Your mirror also matches the black theme of your CB. They are somewhat stealth.
