I am needing new mirror 'stems' for the Magna.  Can find plenty of mirrors, but so far no stems.  Suggestions?

I don't think you will find just the stems you will probably just have to buy new mirrors with the stems. You can get a pair on eBay for about 25 bucks.

At my very first MOOTMAG, I dropped my shiny "new" (to me) bike unloading it from the back of my pickup.  Only damage was the left mirror/stem.  I bought an aftermarket mirror at a local shop for about $20.  The vibration isolation was nowhere near as effective as OEM mirror, and I could not see anything in it.  If a vehicle was right on my left rear quarter, I could pick that up, but that was about the extent of it.  I eventually gave up and bought an OEM replacement.  Been stable ever since.  Maybe Jerry's experience is different, and he can recommend an effective, low-cost replacement.  I would like to know.

That has been my experience also.

Brad, I've got a good 'used' mirror stem you're welcome to.  It's even still got a good mirror attached  :lol:

Brad, I have a set too.  One mirror got smashed and I replaced the set.  They old ones are sitting in my garage.  Let me know if you still need 'em.  I can send you pics.
