    '82, '83 mirrors

    image.jpg

    This left mirror broke off my '82 11E today. My 1982 Cycle World issue shows distinctly more rectangular mirrors.

    First question: can anybody identify this mirror? Stock '83 would be good news. I'll start digging into the parts fiches next.

    Partzilla fiche shows '82 and '83 mirrors that look nothing like mine. $55 each, plus shipping.

      Pretty sure both the 82 and 83 had the rectangular mirrors that don't match your picture.....

        Yeah, '82 and '83 mirrors have identical parts numbers. I'm guessing they're plastic, hoping they're black. Stalks seem much shorter, whole unit looks different than what I've come to know, I'll just have to keep telling myself these are the real stock, the way they originally came.

        And I'll install them myself - no mechanic necessary!
