Folding Mirrors

[Boris]

My newly acquired xr400 only has one mirror but instead of shelling out for a OE jobbie iI am looking for folding ones such as Boboneleg has on his KTM. Are they standard KTM parts or aftermarket items?

Anyone care to recommend folders that are both stable on road use yet wont break the bank?

The foldable KTM mirrors are a stock part and can be sourced through a dealer, Stormface8 has them on his bike but is not impressed with their performance as mirrors as they seem to vibrate a lot, given that feedback I looked at other options and fitted a set of Double Take mirrors on Insomnia, you can see some into here.

Rock solid with clear vision and tough as old boots with a lifetime guarantee, well pleased.

If I'm not mistaken,that works out at £80 for two mirrors? That's a lot of money,or,Have I worked it out wrong?

Try Ballards Offroad Dirt Bike Parts & Accessories Penrith Australia they have some in their catalogue @ $AUD15.95 which look okay, but a bit small

Here ya go Boris, got mine from Wemoto and they don't vibrate at all. I have them on my KTM and my DR350 and they should fit your XR as I tried them on my Transalp as well. Only downside that I've encountered is that the nut on the swivelling bit can go rusty, cured by application of some vaseline

Cheers Bob
DO they need tools to swivel them or is it a thumbscrew?

Gordon I used to carry a thirteen mm spanner and take the ome ones off before riding, the mirrors just vibrate off otherwise snap the Alu casting mounts off.

No tools needed, they have a nut and bolt (inset) on the swivel bit which you can have as tight/loose as you like and then you just move them by hand.
