I bought my round convex mirrors during a visit to MMC about 10 years ago, not sure who the original manufacturer is but they're a hug improvement on the originals.

As the collective have said "go round young man" I'm not sure what mine are, Krazy Horse fitted them and they work just fine.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Mine are from John Taylor at Morganhoods - well made, stainless and fit in the original pillars - very good value and no problems with them over the past 7 years.

Well, speaking just for myself, I loathe convex mirrors. Whatever the presumed benefit derived from a slightly wider field of view is more than offset by the change of scale and distance perception. Just my opinion.
regards,
Phil I know what you mean Phil but I suppose it’s what you are used to so you get used to compensating for the distorted distance I fitted the Morgan Hoods convex mirrors to my first Mog which I had for nearly 4 years, bought my latest Mog which had flat round mirrors which I could adjust fine but hated the narrower field of view. They just felt like I was looking down a card tube they were so restrictive. I was constantly turning my head both sides to check there wasn’t something alongside out of view Bought another pair of Convex mirrors from John Taylor and have never looked back! (I know, I know, the gag’s wearing thin after 4 years)

I have these - such an improvement. You can also get slightly larger convex mirrors, the Model 2 from John Worrall at Heart of England Morgans. These are the type I have and I'm very happy with them, but I would think they are all pretty similar.

I've got the same problem. In cause I've got a LHD car, the right mirror is the "wrong" thing. Adjusting the mirror again and again, and never a good look back. But not shure about a good alternative I look for a cheap way. So this mirror is my way to cure rhe problem. https://www.louis.de/artikel/scooter-spiegel-retro/10028354?list=3a0f4a22db7d2275546ebcd2e8176474But how it works? First push the black rubber up and you have a sight to a grey plastic. This is a stem-stop. You must fiddle it out. Keep it at a good temepratur. I use a spanner to lift it up. Than the upper stem of the mirror slides out of the lower stem. In cause the "Louis-mirror" is 9.9mm and the Morgan stem is 9.3mm the plastic must leave or sanded up to fit. But you must work at the "Louis-mirror" too, you must short the stem to your own size of wish. May be not perfect like the bespoke mirrors, but a good working alternative. René

It is for me exactly the right dose of humor so that I am not overburdened as a German The gag is so old that I had time enough to understand it well today and so I can also laugh heartily.
