I broke the mirror on my 1988 Honda scooter and I can't find a mirror that will fit it. I called the guy I bought it from and he said it takes a 9mm. I've looked high and low and I've found plenty of 8mm and 10mm, so I'm thinking of buying a set of 8mm mirrors and somehow filling in the extra space so they'll work.

Is there something I can coat the threads with so they'll fit in those wider grooves? I'm thinking that this must be a common problem. Any advice you give will be appreciated.

[replyingto=spandi]spandi[/replyingto]I would never have been able to afford it. That's the kind of thing collectors do, not most ordinary riders out there. This guy is very conscientious; he takes great care with everything he owns. He has a couple of big motorcycles, too. One of them is huge! He can ride/drive anything; he even has his pilot's license. He's a very accomplished, intelligent man. I got very lucky with this buy.

[replyingto=domindart]domindart[/replyingto]I like the rounded one better. It fits the shapes on your scooter much better. The other one would look too much like a suitcase. This one would look more like a natural part of your scooter.

[replyingto=domindart]domindart[/replyingto]You know, I never thought I'd get an orange scooter, but I immediately liked it. The guy who owned it said it was originally a metallic gray sort of color, but he wanted something with better visibility. I think he had a good idea, there. He even threw in an orange helmet to match it. What a great guy!

[replyingto=scootnwinn]scootnwinn[/replyingto]I was so lucky to stumble on to this. The guy had just put it on Craig's List a couple of days before I got it.

I was still looking at ads for scooters every day, even though my mind was pretty well made up that I was going to buy a Znen scooter online. It was love at first sight with this one.

The guy knew what he was doing when he rebuilt it. Practically everything is new on it. He found it in Alaska; it had been mistreated and basically abandoned. He paid $200 for it, put about $2000 worth of parts into it, rode it for a few ears, and sold it to me for $1200. He almost didn't sell it, he liked it so much, but I sure am glad he did! He said he was going to buy a bigger scooter next, probably a Burgman.

Just got it Thursday. It's a 1988 Honda Elite 250 with only 6300 miles! Very nice biker I bought it from rebuilt it from the crankshaft up and made it like new again. So excited I had to share.

[replyingto=spandi]spandi[/replyingto]It's going to be hard for me to choose between the SSR and the Motorino. I've got another month to decide, so I'll take my time and find out as much as I can about them before I choose. I think it's good to make as much of an informed choice as possible for something like this.
