I've not found a set of mirrors that I really like on my Eldo. The ones I liked the best were the clamp on mirrors that came with the bike when I bought it, but they got obliterated by a 70mph crash. I've since tried a variety of mirrors, from Napoleon bar ends to Honda 70's style mirrors like the ones that were on Honda 400/550/750bikes of the early to mid 1970's. These are just a bit too much like mickey mouse ears for my liking (no offense intended to anyone running these mirrors, please). I'd rather not go back to the bar end mirrors, because I kind of like the vintage look of the other style of mirrors, but I justcan't find anything that's just right. I'd prefer to have mirrors kind of like the Honda type, but without quite so much rise. Something that had more of a horizontal bend so that they would both be lower, and offer bettersightlines, as the Honda type still have me seeing my shoulders more than I would like. If anyone has any ideas, I'm interested. Pictures are welcomed, off list. By the way, I've got 10mm mirror mounts on my bars, so I'd prefer to have screw-on mirrors. Thanks! D.J.
