The ones in the link look similar to M/N style mirrors which have narrower mounting spacing. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jonny Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Never found anything that worked properly. Gave up looking years ago. This is probably as close as you’ll find: https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/294773789548?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=L7BZvGFwT-6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=dppzeNacS2q&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Edited April 21 by Jonny Quote Link to comment

Jdeac Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I'll have a look tomorrow after work. I Know I've got a pair of slingy mirrors. Just not sure on the spacing. Quote Link to comment
Upshotknothole Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I run the EMGO mirrors on my 91/92 750. Collectors and restorers have made originals stupid expensive. They work well enough. Quote Link to comment

Jdeac Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 What do these mirrors look like exactly? The ones your after 2 hours ago, wobblegob said: 51mm mate Quote Link to comment

As in this post Considering the mirrors are one of the first things to hit the ground when these bikes go down, there's not a ton of them out there anymore. Just checked Eblag here in the states and there currently aren't any J/K 750 OEM mirrors for sale. Only time i ever really see original mirrors pop up it's on facebook marketplace and some collector is trying to sell a set of OEM blue or white mirrors for a premium, knowing that some other collector needs them to restore their bike to how it looked on the showroom floor. I've been running Emgo mirros on my 750 for the past few years, since I switched it back to full fairing. They're not quite OEM quality, but they're cheap and they work well enough.

As in this post Checked facebook and there's a guy in Poland selling a used set of blue 750 mirrors with scratches and a torn rubber boot for 250€. That's a pretty stupid price for mirrors in my opinion. Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 These are the mirrors I have. Just been trawling though my eblag purchase history. Won't be able to confirm spacing until tomorrow Quote Link to comment

Jaydee Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I wonder what spacing powerscreen 1100 mirrors are. They are the nearest in style/position to the slingshot J/K/L mirrors that I've seen. Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Once every couple of years a set of mirrors appears for sale on OSS. I bought these 3 years ago. I had been looking for years, found nothing decent new so I was really happy when these came up for sale. You might be lucky, post a wanted ad in Marketplace. Quote Link to comment
Jaydee Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 @Captain ChaosI had a set of 750J/K/L mirrors that I sold for €50 to a mate a good few years ago. And back then he though I was taking the piss with the price. They were identical to the 1100 K/L mirrors only the necks were (from memory) roughly 40mm shorter. Every other component was like for like. Quote Link to comment
