As per title, I bought some chrome backed mirrors for the 550 cheap off fleabay. They are OK I suppose, they look decent enough, but suffer from the dreaded blurr once you get above about 3000 rpm. They are also quite small in diameter (100mm) compared to the ones I got with the bike (115mm) when I bought it. Has anyone found a decent replacement mirror supplier with products that don't break the bank and (perhaps) you can see behind with at speed?

I got these cheap ones from flea bay nearly six months ago and although they are cheap they are a standard Honda size, good clear vision and no vibration problems - very pleased with them.

Mirrors & side panels .... where do they all go. I need to get a set of mirrors as well but I dont remember throwing the originals away or breaking them. So what happened to them. Several house moves may have left one or two in a shed somewhere.
Anyway I am going to need another set, but it was only another 20quid to insure the bike for a year on a rider policy. And being historic (bike that is) its cheap to run - hopefully.

Nurse Julie put me on to these and they are great, nice chrome and they don't vibrate.
