Rear View Mirror
« on: July 02, 2020, 09:07:49 AM »
 Whats everyone using for a rear view mirror these days?

 I have been riding around without one and looking for an appropriate one that will mount well and not look hideous

Thanks

Windshield mount?  If so, Pete Debella has the best reproduction windshield mounted rear view mirror that I have found.   It's a new product for Pete.  Scroll down this page to nearly the bottom and you will see a 2A and 3A version (different bracket style) that has the original looking mirror head.  They are pricey at $50.00 but I haven't found anyone else come close to matching the original accessory add-on from the 1940s and 1950s.

I currently have the squared off version he offers (just down below the versions on this same page).  They are decent, but if you want an original look, the $50.00 version is worth the price.

EDIT:  Forgot to mention that the nicer version uses tinted glass.  The square version does not.  I get blinded by drivers behind me with the square version.  I have to point it down when driving at night.

I bought mine from a vendor at one of the Reunions.  The seller said he thought it might have come out of a truck, but wasn't sure.  It looks an awful lot like that tinted version.  I agree with DeBella quality - I have multiple parts from him.
