    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Mirror measurements

My wife tipped over the 85 550EF and thus shattered the mirror and turn signal. Found the turns on ebay, so that is good, but wanted to buy new mirrors just to clean it up a bit.

Now EMGO has a mirror that looks identical, one short (5") one long (7") stems. If I measure my stem, total length is around 7" but outward length is 5" (2" straight up). Just knowing how these companies talk in circles, I will guess I need the long stem.

Is my thinking correct?

Are those the rectangle ones or the round ones? I need to get myself some rectangles. I also figure on long stems. Let us know what part no. you get and how they work out.

One question often left standing is whether they are properly convex. They rarely say and it sucks to get stuck with flat ones. :x

I had a set of Emgos once and wasn't pleased with them. Napolean makes quality replacements.

I've got Napoleons. Long stem is a must. They work well. Check out my website if you want to see them. Just click the WWW symbol below.
