Humble item: Yamaha XSR900 back mirror 1B3-26280-20 (left, right-hand thread)
When I was younger, I thought smaller mirrors looked cooler, you know?
But now that I’m solidly middle-aged, I’ve come to think “something reasonably large and stable is best.”
I think the odds of getting pulled over and the odds of getting rear-ended both go way down.
For bikes around the ZRX era there’s no problem, but for newer bikes where the right side has to be reverse-threaded, be careful when you buy…
Making brackets has been a pain lately… Plate is fine! The customer signed off, so I made it in titanium.
When making brackets from plate or pipe and rod stock, I always use the “bend it twice” rule and it looks right.
We fit it to the actual part, made it today, and completed the air bleeding.
Lightly vacuum-bleeding the master cylinder improves the feel of the lever.
It’s possible to work faster and more reliably than with normal bleeder valve opening and closing.
I wanted to know the mystery, so I bought the genuine one. Ah, I see! (‘ω’)ノ
