    Need mirror for WOF - RF900

    Anyone got a left hand side (as you sit on the bike) mirror for an RF900 lying around you want to get rid of?

    Or even a set of mirrors?

    Youngest son tried to get on the bike again and knocked it over.

    Mirror go crunch. And is now floppy.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Mate they may well be the same as other Suzuki mirrors of that time roughly,may pay to go to say Ron Ayers sight and cross ref part numbers,if you find TL ones the same i am pretty sure i can unearth one from the gazillons of TL parts i have.

    AFAIK they are identical to SRAD gixxer ones.

    Except that they come out at a flatter angle. I've had a gixxer one on before and the angles aren't the same.

    However two of them would look just fine.

    Here's a recent listing of some on trademe which I may end up picking up.

    Yes, those are the correct ones (EMGO brand) the ones that have the wrong angle are the GSXR ones with the rubber boot on the bottom (speaking from experience). Here's a link to the importers website and appropriate page: http://northacc.co.nz/content/kernel...ueEntry_PK=914

    The correct ones are the 20-78291/78292's though almost any GSX/GSXR mirror will fit from late 80's to mid 90's if the run the 6mm studs.
    As you can see they are as cheap as chips and apart from the brand on the back of the mirror are identical to the Suzuki ones - probably come from the same factory!

    Yeah but you need one either side if you're an incorrigible lane splitter. I'm just not willing to live without a mirror sorry.

    Cycletreads should be selling them.....seeing as they are owned by the same people that own the importer....

    s'allright buddy. I've bitten the bullet and actually purchased one much to Gini's disgust.

    I've also finally sorted the rattly back fairing by removing it and fabricating a number of hidden brackets which completely hold the whole shooting match together now - what a mission.

    Oh - and as it's Christmas time - the front calipers are getting stripped, cleaned, greased and rebuilt and a new set of Ferodos getting thrown at them.

    So she'll be all good as new again, if you don't look at the horrendously chipped paint job. That'll be next on the list I guess, after a set of indicators (I'm still using those SV ones I got off you).

    It's coming up 80,000 miles - time for a bit of a birthday even though she's still going strong.

    Mines just ticked over 30,000 miles. Still loving it (even better since Frosty tickled up the suspenders).
