Hi All

I bought some mirrors in the hope that I might be able to trade one of the (almost) NOS left hand ones in the pictures for a nice condition right hand one.. but now they've arrived I'm not sure that the stems are (strictly speaking) long enough to be originally supplied on an early enduro.

3 still have the blue plastic film on the back and the 4th has a few scratches on the rear but all the mirror surfaces look perfect. You can see that 2 have a smaller lower stem at around 2 1/2 inches and lower stems on the other 2 are around 3 3/4 inches. The longer part of the stem on them all is around 6 1/2 inches and the mirror diameter on them all is just under 4 inches, they all have normal right hand threads.
So couple of questions..

1. Does anyone know if these would have been fitted to an early Enduro or are they for an RD or other model
2. Does anyone have a nice condition clamp on right hand mirror they'd like to trade or sell that would be correct for my 73 DT250

with the threaded mirrors, all the Yamaha ones I've ever seen have LH threads on the right hand mirror.

Right hand mirrors are rare. They were an option back in the day. I don't recall ever seeing one. Occasionally one comes up on eBay. For the Enduros the threaded end is about 1 3/4' for the handlebar clamp to fit.
The hours spent riding my Enduros is not deducted from my life span.

I was viewing on my phone earlier and didn't notice they were all left mirrors! :Ugh

Some states required both sides so the bikes came with them. Nevada is one of those states. In most states right side was optional. Occasionally I'll see an original Nevada parts bike for sale on CL with both original mirrors... many bikes have the mirrors missing completely or broken though.

The Yamaha tuning fork emblem is rare to find too... I'm sure DEET or someone would be interested.
