As stated in the topic I am in need of some advice on mirrors for my 85 fj1100. I have done a bit of searching on the site, and everything I come up with is for the 1200 which mount on the fairing. I am looking for some good mirrors that will work well mounted on the handlebars since I have the 1100. There are a pair of emgo's on there that the PO put on, but I nearly go cross eyed looking at the vibrating cars behind me.  :wacko3: That and I now have to constantly adjust the right hand mirror no matter how tight I screw down the mirror. Does anyone know of a better replacement, or do I need to search for oem mirrors? Any help would be most appreciated!! Thanks!!! I would really like to be able to see what's behind me a little better without the seeing everything as a blur.

Sounds like you have a spare set to sell the guy...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
