mirrors on 2007 Burgman

[cindi110]

I would like to have nicer mirrors on my 2007 Burgman 400. Any suggestions on where to shop? Is the mirror mounting a stock metric size?

Important thing on mirrors is how they function, not how they look.

CB750 Honda mirrors work.....but not as good as OEM----Honda SilverWing mirors would work, too. But why?

Hi cindi110,

There are lots of other folks who don't care for the look of the stock mirrors. Here's a thread with lots of alternative choices.

As for me, I really didn't care for them at first, but have come to enjoy their retro look. They remind me of my first bike, a Honda CB 360 that I got (used) for my 42nd birthday.

Must admit they do look out of place, 1970 mirror on a 2010 scooter,
but they do work well for me at least.

The studs on both are the same, M10 x 1.25 right-hand thread...

Also to think about: I found these mirror risers improve the field of view to the sides and directly behind. (I see the road rather than my shoulders.)

Thanks for the info! To John Grinsel.......because I can, and I wish to.

My response to this-----when you gain some 2 wheel experience, like 200,000 miles or so you may find function on mirrors is what saves you.. Suzuki put a lot of thought into the OEM mirrors. The OEM provide pretty clear rear vision over a broad range of speeds and conditions. Head checks also help.

I love the stock mirrors they do their job well. Each to their own.

I must say, when I first saw the mirrors in pictures I wasn't all that impressed. They looked cheesy. However, they look much better in person. More heavy duty looking. I plan on keeping them. Oh, did I mention they work well too.

I had a set of these on my Triumph Street Triple, and on my Rocket 3 Roadster:

Italian, and very stylish. Very expensive too.. The Prada of the mirror world.

But, I believe that people have all the options, rather than just cheapie high street vendors.

bed bath and beyond ???? just kidding , if you can find a mirror that gives any better performance and it looks like a chickens butt put a ribbon on it and use it

[brandonc_mail]

Seriously these mirrors are a JOKE they're a pain to adjust (let me get a wrench out of my toolkit to make a minor adjustment- oh I have to move my body to tighten- so now my field of view is different...) it's a 2 person job for crying out loud. While they don't vibrate much (impressive) I would have liked them mounted to the fairing Tmax style as having them more forward and higher would be ideal for me. Regardless- these are frankly the ugliest mirrors on any bike I've owned.

I swore I'd have them changed by now... lol.

Needless to say- I feel your pain.

The only thing I find with the standard mirrors is they are too long, and I kept whacking vans mirrors when filtering, so I simply turned the through 90 degrees, I did not like the fact the numbers etc stamped on them now is on the outside, but hey, I got used to that very quickly and find I have not whacked them at all since.
Many other bikers have said chrome mirrors do look a bit odd on a bike where everything is black.
