Broke a mirror but fortuneatley had one left over from another mishap so I put it on as a temporary. Went to the local dealer today to order a new one $106 plus tax for ONE MIRROR. I guess the smaller the part the higher the mark up, if you compare the metal in a pair of mufflers to a mirror mufflers should cost about $10000.  Any suggestions besides quit breaking mirrors.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

With the mirror adapters, the sky is the limit on mirror choices and you can go with practically anything.

so I can install any of the after market products with the New Bonneville adapters. Sounds like it is worth exploring for a better look and not that much more.

Yup. Just get the adapters and you can choose whatever mirror turns you on. I went with a low-profile mirror...

If you don't want to spring for a set of after market mirrors, I'm confident you can find a used stock replacement for cheap by running a WTB ad in the Classifieds right here. Many members here have swapped out their stock mirrors.
Live to love, love to live.

Hi Chris - what mirrors are those? I like the look. Are they flat glass or magnifying?
Cheers, Richard

Hey Rich... I got them from Tejas Thump Cycles. I did a quick search but didn't see my exact mirror in the time I spent browsing for them. To answer you question, these don't magnify and the mirror itself is flat on the front.

If you have a favourite automotive mirror you just can't replace like for like for anymore and it's only the glass mirror that's broken, try a glass supplier and they can normally make you up a replacement mirror in a couple of minutes at a very economical cost. That's been my experience anyway.

No normally about it. Thats what they do at all glass shops,at least in michigan--- i've had them done on my hot rods,over the years ,probably one of the least expensive services a glass shop can offer. Good Luck hth bob

BEAUTIFUL bike. I'm glad to see you don't have buddy pegs. I'd have to ask a questions 'bout your rear fender comfort? 
I'm speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I was going.
