    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...

    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.

My stock mirrors disappeared years and years ago and I'm going to put on a set of aftermarket stock-like mirrors. (the mirrors on my bike now are fairing mounted) For the life of me I can't remember if the threads are the same on both mirrors or if one is right hand and the other left hand.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
They are the same on our bikes. I think they are 10 mm.

Steve is correct. They both have the same thread. You're probably thinking of Yamahas, which I believe have different threads.

When my GK had the stock Suzuki fairing, I took off the fairing-mounted mirrors and replaced them with screw-on types. The stock GK mirrors were dreadful; one of them came loose at the ball joint and I gave up trying to fix it. So, I got myself a couple of after-market mirrors that screw onto the clutch and brake brackets on the handlebars. They work just fine, and I like them better than the fairing-mounted ones.

Thanks guys. The parts guy I talked to was younger than my bike and they were just closing when I got there. I knew one of the Japanese makes had oddball threads but I couldn't remember.
Thanks again. I'll probably go get a set tomorrow.
 
What I don't understand is why all of the manufacturers think our bikes have ape hangers on them, nobody makes a set of long stalk mirrors. Once you put semi-flat bars on the bike you need to get bar end mirrors if you don't want to look at your armpits. :?

I had that problem withstock mirrors, great view of my arms, finally found a pair of long stalk mirrors. I posted in the Performance Mod what they were. These mirrors work.
