One of the casualties of my ride in the Leaf River DS ride last week was the glass in my Ken Sean folding mirror.


I had it folded down over the gauge cluster, but I dumped the bike and the mirror took a branch to the glass. Today I measured the opening and it was exactly 4". I had an idea that I could find a pre-cut round mirror at a craft store. Finally at the 3rd store I found a 4" mirror. Not exactly what I wanted because it has beveled edges, but for $1.29 I'll live with it.


Took it home and put it in the opening. Perfect fit, I almost couldn't get it out in order to "glue" it in. Put a few dabs of silicone around the inside of the housing and pressed the mirror in.



Back in business.

Good to know, I have one with the same problem!

 

Nice Fix Dan!

nice and with the beveled edge it can double as a coaster!!!!

 

Good idea . I tried to cut a piece to fit my emgo folding mirror and it didn't go so well.

 

LOL
Now that you mention it tucaz.

 

Monsta, A few years ago I broke one of my mirrors on my old KLR I ended up cutting a piece of mirrored plexiglass I had laying around to fit. (just another idea) This folding mirror measured exatly 4". I think a thinner (standard thickness ) piece of mirror would have snapped right in the opening with out any adhesive. the craft stores had the thinner mirrors but only in 3" or 5" diameters. Figures.
