Highsider Mirrors

Highsider mirrors are universal handlebar and fairing mirrors, designed to replace the stock ones with a different look or to replace a broken one. They come oval, round, square and teardrop-shaped, in black, matt black, chrome and carbon look, and some have LED indicators built in.

Thread and side come before the design

A universal mirror does not bolt onto just any bike, only onto one particular thread. Highsider puts it in the name: M8 x 1.25 or M10 x 1.25, right-hand or left-hand. Some models are sold in pairs and others singly, left or right, because on certain bikes the right-hand side takes the reverse thread. If yours is different, some references include adapters. Our guide to motorcycle mirrors explains how to recognise an approved mirror and what the inspection looks at.

Handlebar, fairing or enduro

• Handlebar: the bulk of the range, in series such as Wave, Victory, Ventura, Luca, Phoenix and Booster. This is the fitting on nakeds, adventure bikes, customs and scooters.
• Fairing: Sempione, Torezzo, Race, Prato, Victory and Straight, to replace the mirrors on the front of a sports bike.
• Enduro and off-road: the Enduro R comes in black, white, red, orange and yellow, with a clamp fixing (there are Honda and KTM versions), and the folding ones give way if the bike goes down.

With indicators and position light built in

The Stealth-X2, X3 and X4 and the Torezzo with indicators carry LEDs in the housing and, if the part is approved, can stand in for the stock front indicators. Like any LED, they make the bike's relay flash too fast; the fix is covered in the Highsider turn signals section.

Road approval: read the product page

Not every mirror carries the E-mark. Some are listed as approved, like the Enduro R, while others are labelled as having no E approval, like the Agila Oval. It is worth being clear on this before the inspection.
