Alright, so to get my bike street legal I need to put mirrors on it. I want to put some mirrors on it correctly so I can actually use them, and so that they pass inspection.

My problem is...I don't have a normal front fairing. I have no windscreen, my bike looks like this : https://cbrforum.com/forum/new-membe...r600f2-132608/ (pictures in thread).

So, my question is...how do I mount mirrors to this kind of front fairing?

My next question is about gauges. I have a speedo/odometer, and a tachometer and all the wiring to hook them up to the bike. However...I have no idea where to mount the gauges themselves. Are there gauge pods made for these so I can make the mounts look somewhat cleanly done? I was thinking I could put them between the headlight cover/fairing and the handlebars.

Thanks for the help, I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future

 

How about bar end mirrors?

 

I've never heard of such a thing...will look into them now. Thanks.

 

Do you plan to restore the bike w/a front fairing? If so, by installing the front fairing stay, you'll have the mounting point to reinstall your gauges.

 

NP. There are all kinds. Popular with the street fighter and Cafe guys.

 

This is what i did to mount mirrors on my cbr with no front fairing. I ordered 2x mirror holder/mounts for a 2009 suzuki dl1000, it clamps on to the front brake and clutch perches and replaces the regular u shaped clamp with one that has a threaded insert for a 10mm mirror. Ive never cared for bar end mirrors myself and this gives you a huge amount of choices being the standard 10mm mirror thread.

Got any pictures of that from farther away so I can see how it looks with the mirrors on and such? Seems like a decent idea...How well does that work for you?

 

thats how they look from farther away. The setup works great for me puts the mirrors in a good spot and i dont have to move my arm around everytime i want to look in the mirror like bar end mirrors.

 

What mirrors are those?

 

as far as gauges go, you can build a bracket from aluminum stock that you can get any hardware store (costs just a few dollars). you have to get creative.

then there are some that mount up from the ignition bolts and they're made out of some nice stainless steel - they cost more though. do some searches.
