This is what I recently purchased for my '99:

This is to go the non-condom route with Emgo imitation 2000-2001 mirrors (fit the 1999 perfectly).

You will need the following:

Qty 2 Honda Part# 71-88113-MBG-D00 Rubber, Mirror Base (I purchased from Powersports Plus - $6.45 total incl. shipping, but Ron Ayers, etc. will carry as well)

Qty. 1 Emgo Part# 20-37342 Left Mirror (I purchased from Amazon at about $34/ea.)
Qty. 1 Emgo Part# 20-37341 Right Mirror (same as above)

I really despise the condom mirrors, but to each his own.

You will also need four (4) socket head capscrews from the local hardware store.

Pictures please. I so want to quit having to use condoms.

Here is a photo of these mirrors installed.  Look exactly like a 2000-2001 stock mirror install.

I found that the commonly available socket head capscrews would rust quite easily, so I swapped them out for stainless versions.

The OE Honda shc's have a better coating on them, but are also more expensive.

I have the emgos as shown above and am running them with extenders, but the EMGO bolts on the mirror stalk pivots also corrode after a season or so. I hit them with some gloss black spraypaint dabbed on with a q-tip.

Just in case there is anyone else who is watching/bookmarked this thread, Amazon has both the left & right bundled for $55.46!

I have already spent my allowance for the month, but thought someone might want to know about this.

Thank you for the info, going to order mine tomorrow.

Uh, guess the link would be nice, huh?

http://www.amazon.co... Part# 20-37342

Ordered!!!  Thanks for the link.

Sold my old Alpinestars boots so there is no "cost"

Amazon would not ship to a NL address, but there are ways round that if you have a friend in high places......   :tongue:    Cheers Doug!
