Rear View Mirror fell out

(1/2) > >>

Wild Rose:

While on my ride home from Port Macquirie  today between Dorrigo and Grafton.
I hit a huge pot hole and my right hand Rear view mirror just fell out
what a pain in the  :butt  to ride like this, but I made it home
Anyway do I have to go to Honda to get a new one or can you just go to a windscreen place and get them to make one

I broke mine and got a glass guy to put a piece of regular flat mirror in.

There are two things to consider.
1.  The OEM mirror is, liker all vehicular mirrors, only partially reflective- that stops you copping the full glare of headlights from behind at night.

2.  The OEM is slightly curved to give a wider fields of view.

There is one advantage in the flat mirror- it gives you a true indication of how far behind you the guy in the car/ truck actually is.

And, I guess, there's a fair bit of money difference.  The glass guy charged me $25.  But then he's a rider, and therefore a mate.   :grin

It doesn't look to bad, price wise.

The part number for a RH mirror is 88110-MCS-305, retail price in the USA is just under $100 plus post.
Worse case you are looking at $140, at the most.

Any place that sells glass can cut you a new mirror for a few dollars. Just take the old Mirror cover to em so they know what to cut.
Me thinks at the most $20.00 should cover it
