Mirrors for 1990 VFR. Any suggestions???

Hi , i m restoring a 1990 VFR and i was wondering what model of aftermarket mirrors you guys put on your rides. The rubber boot of the ones i got does not fit right and i don t know if they are original.

If you have links to picture or websites i can order it would be great.

I m looking for something close to original , but maybe a little more on the sport side. Smaller indeed?

Thanks.

I changed to OEM 2001 VFR mirrors. Looks like the more recent "condomless" mirrors and bolt spacing fits no problem. Just a thought.

 

Those rubber boots are notorious for not fitting like we would like them to, so sounds like you have the original mirrors. As REEK already mentioned, a common swap for that issue is to go with stock OEM mirrors from a 5th gen VFR. Mine came from a 2000 model year bike. Much cleaner look, and a straight direct replacement.

 

Hey thanks for the info. The 2000-2001 vfr 800 seems to fit my bike when i look on the net. They look GREAT compared to condom style.....

I found those on Ebay. Its for 2002 to 2008 vfr 800 i think. Would that fit???

Yup. They will fit like a glove.

 

Unless I'm having one of my usual mid day brain attacks, I'm pretty sure they look the same but the gen 6 WON'T fit. the spacing is not the same as the 2000-2001. Hope some one can confirm this but I tried to fit my 07 VFR mirrors to my 93, they don't fit.

 

I think you re right REEK. Looking on the net, i think the only non concom style oem looking mirrors that fit 90-97 VFR are the 2000-2001 vfr 800. Like REEK said if someone can confirm it i would appreciate. Maybe Kemer1 tought i was still talking of 2000-2001 models.....

And those i linked are only 20$ damn!!!! To good to be true

 

I stand corrected. I will concede the point.

 

Take a look at my thread below which has pictures of the EMGO aftermarket mirrors on my 3rd Gen.

Thanks Rollin, i just ordered the same you have on amazon, 28$ each with a little shipping to canada. That and my Airtech solo seat cowl will take 15 years of my ride!!! (that long seat looks old!!) They look great i can t wait to see my bike with them on!

 

And if you want to be a ;little industrious, I have a set of mirrors from a BMW R1100S. Very nice ventilated stalks and a little taller. Could be adapted very easily.

IF you want to be different.
