Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Replace Mirrors with no original stems?

First, I just again wanted to say thank you to everyone for taking the time to answer all of our 1st motorcycle/newbie questions. That said, here is our issue...

We failed to notice when we bought the bike that it only has one side view mirror (the left side.) Georgia requires two side view mirrors. I have looked at mirrors on several websites, but a lot of them seem to require the bike to have its original stems. When I called Triumph the guy I spoke with (he was new, so I don't know if that matters or not) couldn't find where the stems were a part he could order. So, what do we need to get in order to have two side view mirrors?

Here is a picture of what we currently have. I am pretty sure my husband would want to stay with a more traditionally styled mirror, but it doesn't have to be the same mirror already on the bike:




Do these mirrors come with their own stems, and everything else we need?

Try Fast eddy:

That looks like the original mirror adapted to the articulated stem. I'll bet the former owner kept the parts, ask him first.

newspeedmaster.com has adaptors that will adapt non-oem/aftermarket stems/mirrors to our bikes. If the original owner doesn't have the parts, that may be a less expensive solution.

here are adapters from Ma's $18 a set, lets you mount most after market mirrors, many available for HD. Ma's adapters

yes, the adapters fill the tapered hole left by the OEM mirror stem and allow the bolt to pass through them. They make a flat surface on top for the new mirror to bolt too.

Here is an example of the type of mirror that would work with the adapters. Just used as an example for the way it bolts. mirror

Thanks I just ordered them, and a set of mirrors from Fast Eddys. Dave also just sold me a set of stems.

Thanks to everyone for your help! Hopefully we will be able to post pictures soon of our bike with the fixed turn signal and two new mirrors

So I just got in the adapters from Ma's. Why doesn't anything come with instructions, lol So now I have EMGO stems, adapters for stems, and EMGO mirrors. What hardware will I need to get? I would like to try and pick up the hardware on my way home since we live about 15 miles from the nearest hardware store, and I work 2 miles from one:)

You should have it all. There should be nuts and washers with the stems; the adapters fit into the hand grip holes, the stems through the adapers with the washer and nut on the bottom side. The mirror screws into the top of the stem. Done.
