Replacement NC30 mirrors?

Post by Cal Walker »

Hi guys,

I've been meaning to get around to changing my NC30 mirrors as there all scuffed from previous owners battering them against walls.

I've tried to source originals, but as there as rare as rocking horse doo I'm going to have to go for the aftermarket option.

Does anybody know who make good quality aftermarket standard mirrors for the NC's? I don't want some that look cheap and nasty.

Kind regards....Cal

Mine were aguably of the 'cheap and nasty' variety but they look just fine on the bike. The plastic seams are tidy and the bolts line up perfectly - not bad for about ~£20 off eBay..

Not for NC30s unfortunately - as stated, original NC30 mirrors are long gone and the OE Honda NC35 ones (which fitted the NC30 perfectly and showed much more road and less elbow) are nearly exhausted, Honda have only a few left ones remaining.

The pattern version which everyone sells for the `30 is based on the original NC29 mirror - it`s of acceptable quality and works well on the NC29 & NC35 but although it will bolt on to the NC30 mounting brackets OK, my experience is that you simply can`t get the the mirror heads to sit at the right angle to look decent and work effectively so I no longer sell them as a suitable replacement.

There must be plenty of bikes with mirrors held on with the fixings 30mm apart. I would like some of the longer European mirrors or even copys but they seem rarer than hens teeth.

Fewer than you might think...
