    Hey guys, I’m riding a 98 vfr 800.
    Unfortunately the bike tipped over while standing still, and the mirror glass broke, but no other damages. Just the glass. So I was thinking that the cheapest option would be to just replace the glass, but I’m not sure how to go about doing that.

    - Is there a website that you guys have used?
    - Are there measurements available so that I can just get custom cut glass?
    - Is it just regular mirror glass or is it convex(??). My first bike, so I have no idea.
    - Is there info on how do to my own measuments? Curves seems tricky to measure.

    There's a much easier option here. Just put the EMGO mirrors on. They are clones of the 2000 VFR mirrors with the slim metal stalks.
