Hi everyone,
I have a question about the mirrors on the C600 Sport.
The local dealers don't keep these scooters in stock, i have no way to check this myself.
Can someone please measure the mounting bolt spacing?
I am toying with fitting these mirrors to my bike if the spacing is the same.
These are the mirrors I am asking about:

Thank you for your assistance.

What do you want to mount them on?
 
I've yet to see ANY sportbike with usable mirrors. Every single one I've ever ridden has given me a wonderful view of my biceps and not much else. The one exception was the 2014 EBR 1190RX I sat on in a showroom. I was amazed at the mirrors, as the previous Buell motorcycles I'd owned had the same "Bicep Appreciation Mirrors" every other sportbike has. The C650GT has "sportbike mirrors" too.
 
Thank you Doraemon, much appreciated.
Unfortunately my mirrors are 45 mm so no go.
Too bad -- the 600 mirrors look like they give better coverage.
And keep a somewhat OEM appearance.

How about a back up cam? I think someone makes them as "rear view cameras"for bikes. I saw one at the dealer show a few years ago. Worked great!
 
Actually, you might be able to drill new holes. There is always a method to do things like this, you just have to try. The 600 mirrors are long enough to cover the old holes with room for new holes. But," if you think you can, or if you think you can't, you are probably right".(Henry Ford)
 
Snowdog,

Interesting idea on the camera, I have seen that on some high end sports cars.
But I am trying to keep this very simple.
There are already some solutions for the bike but they seem hacky to me.
So I was looking for a straight bolt on while keeping some semblance of OEM.

As for drilling new holes, you are correct, the new mirrors would likely cover the old holes.
But given the carbon fiber fairing on this bike, I'm not willing to drill new holes.
Plus being longer, it's likely the C600 mirror base would not align with the contour of the panel and leave a gap.
ie. Kind of like this: fairing )| mirror (sorry for the crude ascii art work).
The stock mirror bases are short enough that the fairing contour does not matter.
But a longer longer base I think would be an issue.

Thanks in any event for the suggestions. :)
 
About the only thing I truly like about C6Sport mirrors is that they clear car mirrors when I lane split on account of their height. Other than that, it's a very small field of view. But I will say, our Vespa is 100x worse.
