Default Black Round Mirror

Does anyone have, or know where I can get a plain black round mirror? I'm leaning toward the bar end mirrors like "sickwithit" has but wanted to see if I can find a standard mounting one. Thanks

I wanted the same thing with plain, straight stems, same as stock. Couldn't find em so... I bought chrome, broke out the mirrors, disassembled, powdercoated & then replace the mirrors.
They were exactly what I wanted on my old school sportster.

Have you thought about hanging them (up-side-down in the stock location holes)under those apes?

I like those from J&P except for the slots in them.

08FXD--Did you buy the replacement glass from the mirror company?

Just made a black one for my Nightster. Originally 'twas a 3" round chrome mirror. Sanded the chrome with some 320 grit, masked the mirror surface, shot some rattlecan primer, then shot the black. Stem was an old one I had; cut it to the length I wanted, sanded, primed, painted it. Mounted it below the stock Nightster bars on the left side.

I too just taped off the mirror, shot primer and then flat black. Worked out great. I just seen a mirror that was able to mount to anywhere on the bars with a clamp like piece, then it could be lenghten out or made shorter by a straight bar connected to it. I will see if I can find it, then post here. Not sure if it is what you want or not, but just an idea.

Thanks! Pic is my Dad, circa 1943, Balboa Park, San Diego, when he was in the Navy. Bike is an Indian 30-50 Scout.

Sig line, well that's personal - I hates barges!
