Rear view mirror

[Michel]

Hello everyone,
I don't have enough space on the handlebars of my Comet and I don't like mirrors at the end of the handle (does it exist in 30' ?). I would like to fix a rear view mirror on the parallel fork. Do you know a supplier who sells this type of rear view mirror and, of course, in the style of pre-war or almost ?
Regard.

Not cheap at all, but maybe with an adapter for one of the spindle nuts or even the Vin headlight fixings: https://www.bobsbmw.com/store/product/albert-headlight-mirrors---pair

I would not give some of those mirrors much chance of an extended lifetime mounted on a Vin headlamp. The Vin design causes the headlamp to bounce up and down violently. I am often surprised how long the bulbs last so perhaps the mirrors might last for weeks rather than days or hours.

Good point! On my first bike, an A65 with no fork ears, I never found a headlight bracket that wouldn't crack before very long.
