Has anyone tried to fit these?

And did they go on ok...?

Hi Steeeve

I use these mirrors on riding school bikes and I think they're very good. The stem can loosen over time and after lots of adjustment but there is a 6mm nut in the base to tighten it back up. Well worth the money!

Steady Eddie.

Hi guys,

I got a pair of these a month or two ago. They fit no problem at all and I agree with Eddie they are well worth the money. Think they are a wee bit "wider" than the standard mirrors and you get a slightly better view.Regarding 6mm nut in the base, this presses on a washer which presses on a spring to give a friction fit, on my set the washer seemed a bit small and jammed in the spring, fitting a slightly larger washer solved the problem and they are now a lot easier to adjust.

Thanks guys. Oddly I couldn't get them to fit at all - the threads run the wrong way; are your bikes SY model CBs?

Mine's a '96 "T".

i know yamaha mirrors have a left hand thread coz i have one,kawasaki and honda are normal right hand thread.

both my mirrors secure in to the clamps; on the right the clamp for the master cylinder and on the left the (same?) clamp to the clutch lever. Is this the same on your models? (the fische diagram on Lings has the left mirror securing in to the body of the clutch lever).
I think i may have 'adaptors' fixed in to the clamps (both sides) in to which the mirrors fix - would these be left or right hand threads? don't want to push too hard the wrong way...

I had these on my 2001 S/Y and they were great for about six months and then the glass blew out of the frame. They are held in by a blob of glue.

I would assume that any adaptors would use the same thread as the original part, otherwise you would be tightening one part but loosening the other. I think that makes sense, not sure,lol.
