Title: Mirrors?
Post by: pdxjim on May 14, 2021, 07:47:02 PM
Anyone got a pro tip on aftermarket mirrors to fit the standard RD400/350LC clutch perch?

I usually use a barend mirror mounted in between the switchgear and clutch perch, but there's no room this time.

Small, traditional looking and cheap are preferred

I use the cheap Chinese bar ends that mount in the end of the bar. They work great and you can get them on eBay for 30 bucks or so. I also have a CRG that I paid $125 for many years ago and the cheap Chinese work as good or better. The only down side is you have to cut the ends off of your grips, which is a small trade off for being able to see something when you look in the mirror besides your arm.

Yeah ... I have a few sets of those.

Like I mentioned, I always just mount one inboard on the left side.

They work surprisingly well mounted there.

do you aim them up or down jim?
if up... drill the round barend mount bushing out to 10mm and use a 10x1.25 bolt through that to the clutch perch mount and articulate it up.  if down. well, not so much. .
