anyone have different mirrors?

Post by EddieC »

anyone have different mirrors? do you have pictures? I dont like how the stock ones stick up so much. Seeing that lane splitting is legal in CA, They tend to get in the way of other peoples mirrors when splitting. I'd like to find some that sit lower, or as low as the handlebars. I've thought about bar end mirrors... but this also makes the bike wider. So low, but not out at the end of the handlebars...


Anyone?... Anyone?..... Bueler?

There's a ton of them on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss? ... or&x=0&y=0

I have the stock ones, because I rarely lane-split. I have bonked them on cars and garages though. :lol:

Ah, okay. If I were to add mirrors, I would get ones like the body mirrors on this custom PCX:

I have seen a similar mirror kit at the local motorcycle shop, but haven't seen one online.

A guy came on clubpcx trying to sell the hard saddlebags, HID kits, and a whole bunch more parts (I think his username was Garasi or something like that), but he disappeared after I had PM'd him a few times because Corsport wanted him to pay them to post on the forums. :(

More will come, I'm sure of it. Once we get a larger userbase and more well-established, I'll reach out on the Thai sites and try to pull in some international sellers to expand our selection and expand their business.

there ya go! Not having to pay unnecessary vendor fees should keep people around. I tried contacting him too.. but he seemed to run away after he heard it was going to cost him extra.

i have been looking into new mirrors recently, there are loads on ebay that claim they will fit a pcx but i am sceptical. if anyone knows or can find out the thread size of the stock mirrors it will be easy enough to find mirrors that fit,

I'm under the impression that the threading on motorcycle mirrors is relatively universal. Any motorcycle mirror should fit any motorcycle for the most part. I think they're all 10mm...

some of them have reverse threading on one of the mirrors while others don't though, gotta find out which is which or you'll only be able to mount 1 mirror

I think most sets have reverse thread on one side, and normal thread on the other.

good shout as i said for about £20 they are cheap but i had to grind the collars down to make them fit,no real hardship for that kinda money,then ended up just keeping the right hand one as they had such a wide angle view :D
