V PARTS mirror adapter

V PARTS offers this mirror adapter. A mirror screws into the lever mount on the handlebar, but not every bike has the same thread: M8 or M10 (8 or 10 mm diameter), and some makes use a left-hand thread on one side, which screws in the other way.

Why fit a mirror adapter?

The benefits:

• You can fit the mirror you want, even if its thread differs from the bike’s.
• An extension gives a clear view behind instead of a view of your shoulders.
• A simple part that avoids drilling or modifying the bike.

Why choose V PARTS?

V PARTS is the technical parts brand of Bihr, an Alsace-based distributor founded in 1975 by Cyrille Bihr, which started out as a bicycle and motorcycle repair workshop in Hegenheim. Now based in Bartenheim, Bihr supplies more than 200,000 items from seven European warehouses to thousands of motorcycle dealers.

When should you replace this part?

Damaged thread, an adapter bent in a fall or a mirror that no longer holds its position: replace the adapter.

Specifications and fitting tips

• Manufacturer part number: ML5-31

Cross-Mania tip: Check the diameter (M8 or M10) and thread direction on both the bike side and the mirror side: a left-hand thread screws in anticlockwise. Tighten, then lock with the locknut if one is supplied.

Compatibility
