Does anyone know what stock mirrors came on the 1980 XS400, on my bike I have chrome ones that have the Yamaha emblem on them. Also why is the left side higher then the right? Any thoughts?
Yamaha likes to use a left-handed thread on one of the mirrors (the right one I believe) but most aftermarket mirrors are right-handed; this usually requires an adapter be installed and that can raise the height of one of the mirrors if an adapter is used only on one side.
I might be wrong, but this came to mind. Take pictures is you want a more definitive answer. I can only guess without them.
My 80 and 82 both had these on them when I got them. They both have the yamaha logo on them. I know the pre-80 bikes used the mickey moues ear ones but I wonder if both where available and the style was up to the buyer when the bike was bought.
