Mirror options for CB1100

[Papa Weeley_imp]

Ah ok! I'm eager to see how they'll look with the RC fairing.

Well, lo and behold, they showed up in the mail last night!
Quality is factory-excellent, just like usual, and a ridiculously low price for an actual Honda item ($26 each out of Babbitt's/hondapartshouse.com).
One amusing detail: the Honda boxes say "Made in Italy", but there was a "Made in Taiwan" sticker on both mirrors...
Here are the P/Ns, in case anyone is interested:


And here are the CB500 mirror (left) vs. CB1000r mirror (right). Similar total viewing area, just different shape. The stalks appear to be identical:

And here are the requisite every-danged-angle-possible shots :

I like 'em. The shape seems to better match the angles of the bike's tank, fairing, etc., than the CB500 mirrors, and the black finish is still a better match to my bike's style than the original chrome lollipops. It's certainly not a night-and-day change to the bike, but a decent new - dare I say it - "farkle".

I like those mirrors you found, Papa! Nice option for those of us who like quality black mirrors.

Looks great Papa Weeley, definitely getting the Road Comet fairing now to go with these mirrors

Aluminum bar end mirrors purchased through Amazon. $40 shipped. Fitted on Renthal Ultra Low bars. Will not work with factory bar weights.

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.

Can you link to them? I can't find them..

The mirrors shown on Papa Weeley's bike are like the ones that come stock OEM on the NC700X. You can get these mirrors from Honda, or alternatively from NC700 Shop,
here: http://www.nc700shop.com/en/mirrors/110-honda-right-mirror.html and here: http://www.nc700shop.com/en/mirrors/109-honda-left-mirror.html

BTW, you can find handsome, well made mirror extenders, to widen the location of the mirrors, here: http://www.nc700shop.com/en/mirrors/152-rear-mirror-extender.html

When I had my NC700X I found the stock OEM mirrors quite easy to use, rock solid, and great viewing to the rear, especially once I installed the extenders. When I traded in my NC700X for my CB1100 DLX, I switched over the mirror extenders to the new bike, and they work very well!

Just put the CRG LS 2.2 bar end mirrors on my CB - I love them. They really changed up the look while still allowing me to see to the sides and behind me.

Looks snappy, c-breezy. No vibe at speed?

 

[c-breezy_imp]

Thanks Cormanus! I'm happy to report that they are rock solid. I actually ordered both the LS 2.2 and the original Lanesplitter 3" at the same time. I rode around Orange County running errands for a few hours with each set, and the 3" ones were the ones to experience some vibration, but even then it was minimal.

I'm digging the look of your Windshield (or fairing or whatever they are called)... any chance you could share some info on it? I've been considering one that i can take off around town fairly easily.

Thanks

 

[uscgmac_imp]

Piug windscreen. You can get one for about 60.00 or less on amazon. There is a newer version which is more expensive.

After looking at all options, I'm sticking with the stock chrome lollipops. I own a 2013 in red and the stock mirrors compliment the chrome fenders, silver engine and frame covers. They also stay in adjustment and give great rear view of traffic. Not to mention they are true to the design of a modern UJM. If I put a 1/4 fairing, rear sets, and clubman bars, I'd probably run no mirrors at all, take my chances with a ticket, and concentrate on what's in front of me. And be darn careful passing.

 

[Mikestib1_imp]

Knocked over my 2013. Anyone interested in selling their stock mirrors?
Thanks

'Knocked over my 2013 ...' In the past 2 hours? Everything OK?

I slipped backing out of the garage and just hit the mirror against the wall. The garage has a stupid polished concrete floor. I'm renting so I just need to be more careful. Otherwise I'd paint the floor with non skid paint.
Anyone interested in selling their stock mirrors, let me know. Trashed my right one!
Thanjs

Glad you didn't hurt yourself, Mike.

I've been interested in finding the best bar end mirrors with stock handlebars..... after all of your research, are these mirrors the best option?

I think so - I love the extra detail in the newer design, and I believe it makes the mirror more durable too/resistant to getting loose if knocked up against. I did end up returning the LS 2.2's - after several rides with them, they're just too small, but if all you're looking to do is be street-legal, you can't beat how tiny they are (and you only technically need just the left one in Cali).

I'm switching to the LS 3.2's instead.
