Hi Dennis,
I would be interested in knowing what precisely a "high speed snap wobble"
is. What might have caused it? Also...good to hear that you bike came out of
it ok......how about you?
I ordered a set of standard handle bar mirrors from Moe at Cycle Garden.
They cost about $13 a pair and appear to be of good quality. Other shops
like MG Cycle and MG Classics will carry them too.
Like you I considered bar end mirrors but I like the look of the clamp on
style.....funny that some people don't though.
Ian.
Finally, a question for the list. One of the reasons I need the bags is |
| while returning from Moto Guzzi Day in Angier, NC, my Eldo went into a high speed snap wobble (tank slapper) and we went down at about 70mph. My very |
| Wixom bags got torn up too badly to attempt to fix pricewise. I also need |
| replace the damaged mirrors on the bike. While at the West Virginia rally, |
| was looking around and saw more than one Ambo/Eldo with Napoleon barend |
| on it. I am sure they would work great, but am having guilt pangs about considering this since it isn't exactly in keeping with the look of the old loopframes. However, I am having a hard time locating much of a selection |
| mirrors that clamp onto the bars. Anybody have any suggestions of mirrors |
| look good on the loop frames and clear the shoulders to give a good rear |
| Sorry for the length. Dennis Jones |
