Mirrors
« on: April 09, 2012, 01:46:01 AM »
How do you know if you have 8mm or 10mm mirrors. Need to get new ones for the wife cause the left one keeps moving on its own.

It's for  a 09 super8 150

Down where it connects to the scoot it does but that's not where it's moving at.  The mirror itself slowly droops down and there is no adjustment to tighten it.

Take the back cover off the mirror if you can and inside there should be a screw or nut to tighten where it joins the stem. Tighten that up a bit and it should be fine.

This is where this forum shines... Sip is a quality company. They sell hi end parts, and have pretty fair prices. I would trust they are good mirrors. What I mentioned about shining: I have been looking for "drop down" mirrors, and have only found garbage. I will be looking for those elsewhere cause in the states we have to order 100.00 min. or maybe more now. I  personally think it's the best set I've seen. Maybe you wont have to have a min. order? Or maybe order three pairs cause I could use two pair. I'd pay pal first for them...

I guess that's a yes vote from me. They're good.
I think Those, and a pair of bar end mirrors gives you the most coverage in the most important places.

One reason I can think of that piece comes off is that you COULD cut into the body of the mirror now and try to see if there's something to tighten up.  Then put the piece back on and the hole will be hidden.
