Re: Separate mirror mount
Hi guys,
I just went through a mirror search for my KLX 650 R as it didn't come with mirrors or mirror mounts. We have place called Bent Bike out here that's a wrecker for bikes, but they also sell all kinds of cheap parts and accessories. They had a whole wall full of replacement mirrors with all kinds of mounts. Some had the standard 10mm threaded post hole, others were a simple band that tightened around the bar.
You might want to make a few calls if you have any shops like that near you. I also considered buying a used clutch perch that has the 10mm threaded post hole and bar mount, and then taking a Dremel to the clutch lever mount, basically ending up with the mirror mount. I ended up buying a mirror mount that replaces half of the collar on my clutch perch so I can now mount a standard mirror. Got it from a local shop who ordered it from Answer I believe, $15.00. I could look it up at home if anyone is interested.
JC Whitney must also have something like this.
