I had the Tannex mirrors....and one day I just found one on the floor of my garage- it fell off it's own stalk somehow.
So, I am looking to something out of the Honda parts bin.
They probably have something to fit.
Looking more for a nice tall/wide practical mirror... not something tiny and 'stylish'.
Thoughts?

The rectangular mirrors on the '86 Nighthawk S were cool.

They do look nice on that bike.
Has anyone done a Nighthawk version of the Cb yet?

Wasn’t Mr Professionality aiming at something like it?
The current CB500 mirrors are another favourite.

He was but I believe he's chosen another direction now.

I liked the rectangular mirrors on my Nighthawk. They should be the same, for basically all of the 90s. They were a bit narrow however. I found Ken Sean reproductions that had longer stalks pushing them out a bit but still looked original and were very solid.

I am also looking at other mirrors. The tall round ones look like snail eyes. I found some shorter rectangular cheapies that might do the trick, but haven't done it yet.

I do really like my CB500 mirrors on this bike.

That's up to the discretion of the owner. When I bought the bike, the owner let me choose between the stock chrome mirrors and these CB500 mirrors. I put one on each side and looked at them. I chose the black CB500 mirrors for this bike, because they don't call attention to themselves and just sort of blend in to the look of the bike. I didn't like the "chrome popsicle" look.
For my Bonneville, I bought a pair of Napolean bar end mirrors. That bike has a good deal more chrome than the CB1100, so I got chrome, goes better with that bike.
