On my '92:
Installed these mirrors. Pretty good quality and great adjustment. Had to hog out the bases a bit with the dremal. Can actually see more than my elbows now.

Bought this tool and was able to crimp the riv nut. This set comes with 8 mm riv nuts as well.

Bike now shifts like a new bike...better than ever. This is a really good product.

Those mirrors look very nice Jeff. See if you can get a picture to them on your bike. Kudos lad! Pat

On my '92....please ignore the chaos in the garage...still "moving"

Thanks Jeff...Those look great. Nice and wide, good view angles.
I found that removing the oem mirrors on my '92 and going with the wider CBR mirrors that the wind buffeting on my helmet was *slightly* reduced....did you notice that?

jscgdunn · August 06, 2013, 05:45:19 PM

No, did not notice difference in buffeting...however this is the third try...the ones from Hong Kong ($22.00 pair)fell apart after a week. I also ordered a set for our 86 from England...I think they were about $75.00. They are pretty good and I have used those for a while as the 86 has a few issues to work out. They bolt right on.

Because the size of the mirror is about 1/2 the size of stock I was concerned the field of view might not be good enough, but it is not an issue.

I was similarly surprised at the size of my CBR mirrors when they arrived. So much so that I rode around with one of each for a couple of weeks. I quickly realised that it didn't matter. I large view of my torso and elbow or a smaller view of what was behind me. Having one of each mounted at the same time showed my rear vision improved a 100% with the smaller mirror.

They look almost like the type I fitted on Monday night , , mine seem to have a blue tint in the glass

jscgdunn · August 07, 2013, 06:02:41 AM

Ebay item # 221253077503 for the type I bought. , fitted directly with no mods , not yet tested , but seem good quality , all alloy stem and mirror head

JPaganel · August 07, 2013, 08:51:24 AM

I got the same mirrors, but the bases would not fit on my 86 - the screws are spaced just a hair wider than the bases. I attached them to the OE bases.

Ahhhh , I forgot to mention id modded my mirror mounts once before , similar spacing to cbr , and these new ones are slotted, worked out well, , glad you solved the mount issue mate
