Bruce,
I have the original mirrors on the bike but the lens was all worn....I could
hardly see what was behind me. I went to the local auto parts store and
bought a cheap convex stick on mirror for about $3. The diameter was exactly
the same and I stuck it over the old glass and it has worked great
thorughout the summer.
The only problem is that people laugh at me.....:-)
Regards...Ian

Subject: rear view mirrors
| The rear view mirrors that came with my Eldo are the simple round, chrome jobs on a long stem. They look nice and flashy but they really don't let you see much that is behind you (like you really care). I've gotten accustomed to larger (and convex) mirrors to see more. Anyone have any suggestions for mirrors that will both let me see alot more behind me and still look like they belong on the bike? Bruce '72 Eldo |
