Didnt know where to post...

 

Working a resto of the Valk and Admittedly I am fishing but.... Just a shot...

Looking for early Yamaha (or close) late 70s or early 80s mirror ... (really any make will work if its the right size... Just one.

The shaft is 10mm dia and the thread on it is 10 x 1.25.. and the angle on it is 120 degrees.

I dont care if the mirror is borked or whatever, the stalk of it is my interest, like the pic.

Just need it good enuff that it will polish up.

You could have one in your junk pile....

-- I am going to cut the thing and thread the ends so it a short stalk vs a long thing.. (like my example)

      --- I didnt do the bend, it was there as stock...

   --- I think its from an old Yamaha Enduro....



Waht cha got?

I'm gonna find out....  Grin  - I may just end up with a view of my shoulders.
But the Valk bars are fairly wide, so I gotta try it. Maybe I'll need round 2 of fabing a second
set thats a bit longer...

Its all in fun...

Just a thought, perhaps make them longer ?  Its much easier to shorten till you find the sweet spot than it is to lengthen the one that's to short.

Yes, obviously.... if the shortys aren't long enuff, then yes, add some length.  Smiley
