EmptySea, of those people here who talk about swapping out their mirrors, do they do so out of a desire to improve the aesthetic, or is it usually a complaint regarding poor functionality? I see the same talk on the T120 message boards. Everyone hates the mirrors. The odd thing is that everyone agrees they work fantastically. They offer an unobstructed view, and they neither shake nor blur. Each time I've ridden a T120, I loved the mirrors. The people on the forums just hate how they look, with the long stalks. They're often referred to as "mouse ears." Everyone seems to prefer bar-end mirrors, which look all wrong on that bike, to me.
I can't imagine that anyone could have a serious gripe about the CB1100's mirrors, in terms of poor functionality. I mean, come on, how much better could they be? I don't know how they could look any better, either, since they're period-correct.
As to the language issue, I brought it up to mickey after seeing a few of my posts edited by him. Of the posts he edited, only one contained anything that (arguably) ran afoul of the intended spirit of this place. The others simply had no business being edited, so I asked him about it.
