Please tell me someone has seen these somewhere. This is the only part I cant find. The one is still usable, but I would like to eventually get a new set.

Where did you get them before? I can't find them anywhere either. |

They were on the bike when I got it. I really like them. The oval shape at the ends of the crossroads bars gave it a really mean look. |

Can't find Landis, I'll look some more. I use 3rd Eye, $24 a pair. Here's what I've found so far. |

I like the blackburn multi mirror on that page. I wonder how they hold up to high winds....Meaning will they blow in. Thank you guys for looking. Good luck. |

Glitch - From your blurry profile pic the 3rd eye seem to look pretty cool. Have a better photo? How do they hold up to wind? |

My 2 cents worth. I had the 3rd Eye mirrors on my bike when I bought it. They look nice, but in my opinion they are dangerous. I rode it for a month thinking I just needed to get accustomed to them. Bottom line I had too many surprises where I didn't no what was approaching or passing from the rear. I had to move my head to check the rear and could only see what was behind me in one side at a time. I just replaced them with Barton Napoleons. Now I always know exactly what's behind on both sides. There not as nice looking, but I still like the style and there a whole lot more functional. Part number 5072 at Americansportbike. (Message edited by spectrum on July 14, 2006) |

Alan, Today is you lucky day! I forget the brand but all those are 8 buck bicycle mirrors. I bought a set from a high end bicycle shop to see if I liked bar ends. After both lenses fell off (due to vibration)I bought a pair of CRGs and the mounts. Spend the money and get the CRGs. The store I got mine from is called "Pathfinder" located in Morgantown WV. The guys thought it was pretty funny when they looked out the window and saw me fitting them to a Buell. I just told them it was for my "bike". I also have a the old parts if that will help you. Hey Alan, Note the patch on my left sleeve in the pic in my profile. (Message edited by snakedriver on July 13, 2006) |

Alan I like them. They stay put. I have had no problems seeing behind or beside me, but that may be due to the fact I've never depended on mirrors as much as looking around myself. I guess it comes from all those years in the dirt. I'll see if I can dig up a pic. |
