Mirrors

Kelly E:
Our 75' 400/4 still has the stock mirrors and one is taller than the other because of the difference in mounting point heights. The 74' 550 is the same way.

billdn:
I bought a non standard set that were longer stemmed 'cos all I ever saw was my elbows! as was the case back in the day! Think you'll find the link somewhere in the archive search.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I have checked my two mirrors the LHS looks original it has a significantly longer arm than the RHS.

The RHS is a shorter arm - it has a convex mirror head (not original).

Spitfire:
The mirror in the picture that you posted looks like the ones that I bought after a suggestion from Nurse Julie and they are great.
I bought my bike new in 1976 (CB750F1) and the standard mirrors were rubbish at anything over walking pace, so I fitted rubber mounts which improved matters but were still blurred.
When I rebuilt my bike in a fit of authenticity I removed the dampers and bought new mirrors, and they were still rubbish so I bought the Julie ones and they are great.
I don't know how vibration affects the 400 mirrors but I went the seeing behind me route rather that the authentic route.

Cheers

Dennis

TrickyMicky:
Being of the same opinion re. rear view as opposed to looking authentic, I took the plunge and fitted a pair of Halcyon bar end mirrors. Superb quality, clear view, and no vibration. I now have to use the bathroom mirror to check on my elbows!
