Lets see you aftermarket “side-view” mirrors…

My 1979 SA doors were “race prep’d” and currently have shaved side view mirrors. I’ll be making it street legal again and am looking for some examples of aftermarket side-view mirrors. As ugly as most are... I need something there to pass state inspection!

Thanks!

Personally I think the fender mounted side mirrors are pretty boss.

Any reason you're not looking to get stock replacements? The stockies look the best of anything i've seen, IMO

I like ^ those, the factory electric mirrors are ok looking but, I'd like to move them slightly further forward of stock. There are alot of nice sport mirrors for bikes would any of those be of use?

I prefer the 78-80 factory side mirrors over the 81-85 electric. For aftermarket, vittaloni baby tornado or baby turbo are period correct for SA. Baby tornado is what I have in my RX-3s.
