RE: Rear view mirror upgrade

I originally went with the black "rounded rectangle" mirrors off the Honda CB500 when I first got a Road Comet fairing. They're fairly popular around here, and are a nice, non-chrome, not-so-retro look:

But then I found the CB1000R mirrors, and liked the way their shape complemented the angles of the bike and fairing a lot better:

Both are Honda factory parts, so the quality is excellent, and oddly enough, the prices are VERY reasonable - in many cases, much less than aftermarket options. If you don't have a dealer close by, try Babbitt's [url=http://www.babbittsonline.com/oemparts/c/honda/parts]http://www.babbittsonline.com/oemparts/c/honda/parts - they carry the factory stuff, nearly always have stock, and the prices are ridiculously low.
As mentioned, either choice is a direct-replacement job - they literally screw in just exactly like your chrome ones do.
Those mirrors look great, I want them! Going to try to find them. The Babbit link you need to know a part number of year they are from I guess.
