CB500F mirrors.

[kennyw]

Just wanted to post a couple pics incase it helps anyone researching mirror options. I found these mirrors work far better than the originals on the freeway for seeing what is around me. You only need to replace the mirrors themselves, your original hardware is identical in size and the plastic boot covers the chrome hardware so the finished look is black.

First pic shows the two mirror styles. Stock chrome CB1100 on the left and stock black CB500F on the right. You can see the difference in height and width.

Part numbers for the mirrors:
88210-MGZ-305 Right hand
88220-MGZ-305 Left hand

And last is the finished result.

I have them, with the type II handlebars. Great mod.

Saw them on dUh's bike at the rally. He really likes them a lot.

And.. perfect way to title your thread to help people doing research, and showing part numbers was great.... Good job!

I saw many threads where they were mentioned but lacked enough info to know what was used. I figured this would save someone time down the road.

Kenny,

Here is where the use of those mirrors (and handlebars) from the CB500F on the CB1100 started. I put this thread up almost two years ago, August 2013. 22,000+ views later these mirrors are on a lot of CB11's. Like you, I think those mirrors are the ticket. All the best.

Chip, I missed that one in my searching. I don't think I would have found the mirror information buried in the post if I did pass it but you definitely have a detailed writeup.

In my opinion these mirrors just flow so nicely with the black parts of the 2013.....

Talking of flow I reckon in fact the air flow over the mirrors is much smoother - I noticed this after the change there seemed to be a lot less turbulence and less noise. Small point but adds to the ride on long trips.

Since I've been asked about these mirrors lately, I am bumping this up from page 15 to make the part numbers easier to find.

Has anyone made a measurement of the distance between the cb500 mirrors mounted on a standard cb1100. With the stock mirrors about 1/2 of my view is my arms. They measure at 24". I'd like to gain a couple of inches on each side. These appear to do this in the photos. How much wider is the spread? Thanks!

 

[kennyw]

I have not measured it yet but it is I wider and slightly lower. I went from seeing nothing but my arms to mostly seeing the lane behind and beside me.

Thanks Kennyw ! I'm just at 6 ft tall. How tall are you?

I bet I could paint the black ones?

I'm 6 foot as well.

I think the set I got were "replacement" mirrors that are the same as the stock OEM Honda mirrors, but I noticed some distortion in the mirror right around the edges. Nothing that would affect your vision, but slightly annoying.

Looking at other stock OEM Honda mirrors (or more expensive aftermarket mirrors) I don't notice the minor distortion.

Probably worth a few bucks more to order the genuine Honda parts.

Yah, I think I'll go with the original CB500 mirrors. They will look great on my black 2014 CB
