First time poster - need help finding the right part.

Hi all!

I've found heaps of useful info here, so cheers, but I've never needed to post until now.

I smashed off the top part of my right mirror bracket (so the mirror is fine, but I'll need to replace the bracket) on my Yamaha zeal fzx250 ('99). The thing is, it's not a free standing bracket, it's attached to the brake leaver, as shown in the pics. (I hope they're clear enough; let me know if something needs a better shot.)

Right side:



I've also attached a pic of the left side which seems to be similarly attached to the clutch bracket but a little differently:

Left side:


Anyway, there's no need to replace the mirror, but I'll need to replace the mirror bracket that connects to the front brake bracket. I've seen stuff like this : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x8-mm-M...197858?hash=item566fb32122:g:pO4AAOSwgkRVUKDX

but I'd rather attach it to the brake as in the pic because I don't think there's room for a standalone mirror bracket on the handlebars.

Any advice would be awesome! I guess I'm also not sure if it's reversed or normal thread and if it's 8mm or 10mm.

Cheers,
James

 

Is the master cylinder clamp the name of the little mirror bracket that hooks up to the right brake bracket?

 

Haha yup, I was just about to come back and post this link: http://www.firstclassmotorcycles.com.au/find/part/M.76573

Thanks mate!

I found the part, but it's about $22 to replace, plus postage. Any ideas for a cheaper solution? Considering the set of 2 mirror clamps is $10 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x8-mm-M...197858?hash=item566fb32122:g:pO4AAOSwgkRVUKDX), it seems a bit silly to pay $22 for a little clamp..

 

Nevermind, found it for $20 in a more convenient store, so I'll just go pick it up. Will there be any part between the clamp and the mirror? This is the connecting end of the mirror:

 

Fun turn of events, which means I'm in a bit of a pickle:

I've got the new part. Sweet! Check to see the mirror screws in, and it just so happens to be the threads are going opposite ways...

It must have been that one of the previous owners replaced the mirror with a left hand mirror, flipped it round, and changed the thread on the part that I broke, so now I have to either change the thread on this little part I bought, or buy a new right hand mirror. Happy days

On a completely unrelated note, anyone with a similar looking right hand mirror want to trade for this left hand one?

 

Hey mate! I just saw this now - really appreciate the offer though. I ended up just replacing the part and buying new mirrors. I should probably get around to selling the two left mirrors I have now..

 

Thanks man! Definitely keen for a ride sometime - I'm currently stuck without indicators/brake lights though..

When's the next one?

P.S: Any ideas? http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/indicators-brake-lights-not-working-its-not-the-fuses.9181/

 

Hah, that would have been ideal. Got pulled over the other day for it - so she's due for a Vicroads inspection unfortunately. If it turns out to be a faulty reg/rec, can I buy that spare one off you?

 

Righto, the battery pushes 17v's when revving a lil bit. Can I grab that reg/rec off you?

 

Does this look right, how I've re-installed the reg/rec? What happens if you run a bike without a reg/rec?
