What size is your bolt and what rubber do you use?

I have a pair of Y2k mirrors on the way (in fact will be picking them up in September) for my 4th gen.

So what size and length bolts do I need?

And what is so special about the rubber that -at Davidsilverspares- they cost UKP 5.50 each?!

Can I not just cut them from a piece of rubber matting?

This is quite possibly the most mis-leading thread title I've yet seen.

While I can't offer you any good information, well played sir... Well played.

:laughing6-hehe:

OEM for Y2k mirrors is an M6x16 socket head cap screw. No idea what is different about the plates but I'm curious as well seeing as I'm sitting on a set of mirrors myself and would like to get them mounted.

This is a cut and paste from another thread. Hope it helps...

I bought the mirrors through Amazon for about $38.50 each. Part #'s are below.
Left - Emgo 20-37342
Right - Emgo 20-37341

You will also need two of these below at about $3 each:

Honda 88113-MBG-D00 RUBBER, MIRROR BASE --- RUBBER, MIRROR BASE (Honda Code 6335400)

I purchased these from Powersports Plus. Amazon doesn't have access to these.

Just that it's die cut and fits precisely.

Absolutely - just trim around the base of the mirror carefully, punch two holes for the bolts and no one would ever notice any difference.

Make sure to get socket head scews and not regular hex head screws.


I may have some of these screws in my lab...


Magic......
