I will check them out. Thanks pete. I have my fairing off already. You may have saw my writeup thread. I've got the whole bike apart. Every single nut and bolt except for the engine. Do you have to dip your arm to see. I had to with the oem mirrors. My mirrors were intact but they rattled something fierce. I tried to take one apart and broke it. the rattling was a piece of steel which was suspended in injected foam. the foam turned to dust leaving the steel.
Joe, I'm fairly short at 5'8" so I can't comment on what vision a taller rider might have but I have a lot better rear vision than with the OEM mirrors. I will say again that genuine Honda mirrors are miles ahead of the Emgo equivalents. Spend a few extra dollars and reap the rewards. If I can help with any other fitment details, let me know.  Regards, pete.

Filtering is illegal! I have fead of this before. If I couldn, t filter, I would give up riding bikes. What a dumb law.

I have very similar mirrors on my '92. Much better than stock - actually see more than just my shoulders! You need to paint the bases. A little black Tremclad does the trick nicely!

Brilliant, spray the bikes at the start of winter, top it up now and then................................... then curse the stuff when trying to remove it. :blum1:

Just put some CBR mirrors on mine, a vast improvement over stock, I have one OE and one Chinese copy, the OE mirror has better optics, but the cheap copy isn't bad.

You'll like those CBR/600/1000  mirrors until you try the OEM Honda CBR 250 mirrors.

I've had the FJ OEM, the CBR 600/1000 knock off's and now the OEM CBR 250 mirrors.  I'm done looking for better mirrors.
What year cbr250 mirrors, I WANNA SEE haha, I'm over cops tapping on my shoulder because I couldn't hear, or see them haha
So dad asked me why I pack my 45 in the house....God damn decepticons I told him. We laughed, the toaster laughed, I shot it, it was a good time:-) Had to share that haha
