OEM mirror for '82?

[canuckxxxx]

I found this mirror in a box of parts I got with my '82 naked. Can you tell if it is OEM for my bike? I like it because, once adjusted, it can be locked down and doesn't move very easily. Only have 1 right now.

Thanks
Brian

I believe oem have the beveled mirror, all aftermarket have flat mirrors.

 

[canuckxxxx]

"Beveled", do you mean the back of the mirror or....?

 

[joedrum]

i havnt a clue .. but idont think its original

Maybe I should have titled it "best mirrors" because what I want is a mirror that you can adjust and then lock down so it doesn't move.

Any suggestions about that?

I wasn't clear, if the mirror part, the "glass" is flat it's aftermarket. If it's "convex"(beveled was the wrong word) it's oem. :yes:

Hey Brian that looks like the mirrors I had on my 82 and 84 magnas... also aftermarket emgos looked like the OEM ones except the "vehicles are closer then they look" mirrors... I got mine from Dennis Kirk when I damaged mine.. you are right.. adjust the mirror in the bar hole... lock it down.. adjust mirror head and lock it down.. no movement...

I think you nailed it Joep. I found this at the Emgo site. Also found one that looks just like mine on Ebay for $10 and would have bought it but shipping was $31 to Canuckistan.

Ya I am pretty sure that is not OEM. On my stock 80 standard the mirrors are round and convex and do not moved unless pushed.

I have the $10 Emgos on my '83. Plastic housing, but very sturdy - and they don't move!

I guess the "EMGO" stamped on the shaft might have been a clue that they aren't OEM :head bang:
Anyways I like them and will have to keep my eyes open for another one because I only have one now.

Thanks all for your help and patience.

OMG! I just saw the pic on my computer at home, I was looking at it on my phone at work and thought we were talking about Hondaline Fairing mirrors. Boy do I feel like a chump :smilie_happy:

Great looking mirrors btw.

~O~

You only need to buy one.. the mirror will flip bottom over top and can be used on the other side.. iirc..
