Like the stock mirrors, but would like something similar in a round mirror. Same angle stems, same style. I had a set of 5 inch round mirrors on my Triumph back in the day that were actually HD mirrors...but they made up thru a fitting with its own nut on the bottom. Can't seem to find those or anything like them
I would like round mirrors that don't stand too tall. Seems all I can find is what look like long stem 10mm that are 4 inch on http://www.hoosiergarage.com/motorcycle-mirrors/round-motorcycle-mirrors-retro-honda-kawasaki-suzuki-victory
Anyone have these mirrors and can comment on quality and fit.
Anyone have any other round mirror suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know about those mirrors, but I've had these for years and they're great. You can read my review on the site (look for Pastor Dude's review).

I found this set on e bay over the winter and bought them and it was like $10.00 for the pair of them. I really like them, decent viewing area, They do have a long stem but I sort of like it because now I do not have to glance down just to the side a bit and they are there....
I just ordered this set :

I wanted a shorter stem on them, i like the sleek look !! :-)
That'll work!
I can't tell if the mirror itself is mounted in rubber, but hopefully it is because that really reduces vibration and gives you a nice clear view.
There would be only one application that would require rubber mounting, to keep the glass from falling out, and it isn't the Kawasaki one...can you guess?
scamp62 - those look good. Do you have a picture of the back side of those mirrors?
No I don't but they should be here this week, will post some pics when i get them.
great - thx
Will I got the mirrors in and (for me !) I really don't like them, the body of the unit is plastic, and there a little to big (again ..for me) the stem is the right dimensions (I did have to cut down the threaded stud to fit all the way down in to the mount, if anybody that lives in the so-cal (Los Angeles) area and would like them, there more then welcome to them !!
Scamp: You're right....dimensions good...plastic not good.
What is that little roadster in the garage with hood straps on it....very nice.
That would be a 54' 550 Porsche Spyder
Sorry I looked at the wrong pic. The green car is a 1919' Stewart Raceabout
Again nice....everyone with a Drifter always has a few other nice pieces of rolling stock.
If you aren't set on going with round mirrors, I have a set of Arlen Ness Teardrop mirrors that I think look nice and match the style of the bike. Have a kind of retro look to them.

you can find them other places, this was just convenient.
