I didnt know you could get em so they are clear throughout the rev range
I can see in mine up to 30mph and then at exactly 62mph in top :lol: :lol:
then it blurs again, ( i had accepted this was the norm for the day ) i would also be interested in a set for my A2

I got so fed up with the cheap repro ones fitted to my A4, last week I raided the piggy bank and bought some new genuine ones, which have made a big improvement !

I bought an excellent pair of black round mirrors, both with 10mm RH thread from this lot;

You could trawl through all 200+ sets on offer, or give 'em a bell & tell 'em what you need. :sou

Those anti vibration bushes don't make a lot of difference. I have 'em on my Z650 and the mirrors still buzz like crazy .... :??
Why do I persist in debating with idiots ? I really should know better :)
