Mirror options for CB1100

[Retsel_imp]

Received and installed the Cb500 mirrors, posted by kennyw, today. Could not be happier. As he said, "lower and wider than stock". Sure gives better rear visibility! Looking great on my black stranded as well! Thanks for the post kennyw! Sure glad you took the risk and ordered them first.

I use the ones from the Yamaha Bolt (XV950).

Any vibration in those bars. Do those mirrors move around much or vibrate a lot.

All the way up through triple digits, no vibration issues. They are thick walled aluminum bars that don't require big bar weights like the thin walled steel OEM bars to dampen them. I have no problems seeing through the mirrors at any speed on normal roadway surfaces.

Here's a link to my video on diy bar end mirrors:

I just figured out how to carry over the Speedmetal bar-end mirrors from my old bike to the CB without losing the stock end weights. Only had time to do the left mirror this morning:

I was thinking about going to those bars but hesitated because people were talking about vibration without the bar weights. I love the look of them.

Whiskey, I have the same bars. How do those bar end mirrors mount?

Typical bar end style. Expanding collars around a central bolt. You tighten the bolt, the collars expand inside the bars.

Where did you get these xNE0x?

EDIT: nvm, found your thread about them being NC700X mirrors, thx!

I installed a set of the Fugu mirrors from Samurider (http://www.samurider.com/?p=14930), and while they look great, the left one constantly vibrates out of position on bumpy roads or any speed over ~40 mph. The loose connection is the ball joint where the actual mirror connects to the arm. Anyone have any suggestions? Loc-tite?

I have the same problem with my new mirrors being a tad too loose at that ball joint. I was considering trying some BLUE Loc-tite and letting it flow in and around the ball.

Bar Ends require removal of the Factory installed anti-vibration bar weights. Don't think I want to do that so I've ordered the BikeMaster Old School. Revzilla shipped the same day, now waiting their arrival.

If you go with aftermarket bars it's not a big deal. Aluminium bars don't vibrate like the thin steal OEM. Just a fyi

I was able to put bar and mirrors on mine without removing the inserts, and I was able to keep the bar end weights:

How were you able to do that? Thanks, lw

No bar end weights needed with renthal bars and the looks and riding position is so much nicer. Love my renthals. Funny thing is after two sets of aftermarket mirrors i resorted back to the stock knes because they just complement the retro look. I change my mind alot so can always switch back at any time.
