side view mirror

[nevets]

I recall seeing an ad for a side view mirror that mounts to the side-screen socket on the door. Anyone know anything about this item? Are they still available? Thanks

I haven't done it but I understand the best one is a Harley Davidson mirror. Supposedly good quality and not too pricey.

I have two on order at mo.

A couple of firms do them, AH Spares being one.

If you e-mail Jon Miller at https://classiccar.ie/forum/index.php, he would be able to tell you of the second firm so you can get two quotes.

There is a drawing of one on page 30 of this British Car Specialists parts list.

I have one of the Harley-Davidson mirrors. Its appearance resembles the one in the BCS catalog. The face is a rounded rectangle; approximately 5 1/8" by 3 3/4". The shaft is just over 6" long with a 90 degree bend at 1 inch from the mirror back, and a softer angle (135 degrees) approximately 3 inches after the first bend, with just over two inches after the second bend, including the threaded part. On this last part, the diameter of the shaft becomes smaller to keep the securing hardware from sliding up the shaft. The words "Harley Davidson" are etched into the approximately 3 inch straight portion of the shaft. If you want to go to your local H-D dealer, or another local motorcycle accessory shop, perhaps these dimensions will be helpful in selecting the correct mirror.

What do you use for a mirror when the sidescreens are fitted?

Thanks for info, much appreciated.

You mean people actually drive around with them in place?
