Please tell me someone has seen these somewhere. This is the only part I cant find. The one is still usable, but I would like to eventually get a new set.

They were on the bike when I got it.

I really like them. The oval shape at the ends of the crossroads bars gave it a really mean look.

Can't find Landis, I'll look some more.
I use 3rd Eye, $24 a pair.
Here's what I've found so far.

I like the blackburn multi mirror on that page. I wonder how they hold up to high winds....Meaning will they blow in.

Thank you guys for looking. Good luck.

Glitch - From your blurry profile pic the 3rd eye seem to look pretty cool. Have a better photo? How do they hold up to wind?

My 2 cents worth. I had the 3rd Eye mirrors on my bike when I bought it. They look nice, but in my opinion they are dangerous. I rode it for a month thinking I just needed to get accustomed to them. Bottom line I had too many surprises where I didn't no what was approaching or passing from the rear. I had to move my head to check the rear and could only see what was behind me in one side at a time. I just replaced them with Barton Napoleons. Now I always know exactly what's behind on both sides. There not as nice looking, but I still like the style and there a whole lot more functional. Part number 5072 at Americansportbike.

Alan, Today is you lucky day! I forget the brand but all those are 8 buck bicycle mirrors. I bought a set from a high end bicycle shop to see if I liked bar ends. After both lenses fell off (due to vibration)I bought a pair of CRGs and the mounts. Spend the money and get the CRGs. The store I got mine from is called "Pathfinder" located in Morgantown WV. The guys thought it was pretty funny when they looked out the window and saw me fitting them to a Buell. I just told them it was for my "bike". I also have a the old parts if that will help you.

Hey Alan, Note the patch on my left sleeve in the pic in my profile.

Alan I like them.
They stay put.
I have had no problems seeing behind or beside me, but that may be due to the fact I've never depended on mirrors as much as looking around myself.
I guess it comes from all those years in the dirt.

I'll see if I can dig up a pic.
