I remember Stadium helmets but my first was a Griffin Clubman. I sat wearing it whilst watching TV for some reason & was concerned that the visor was blurred. No-one told me it had a protective film on it!

You're correct Stu, these mirrors were a common fitting, certainly in the sixties. baring in mind mirrors were not a standard fitting on motorcycles, not until the Japanese arrived. l fitted the 'rectangular version' to my Ariel Arrow, only the off side. They did use the expanding mandrel, plus the arm was aluminium alloy not steel...The Stadium 'Jet' , along with Kangol were a common up-grade from the 'pudding basin' type... l believe they were moulded in fibreglass and were a major influence for wearing a crash helmet. i've seen a vintage Stadium project 4 for sale for 145 dollars.... probably well past its sell by date as a safety item....

I have the Halcyons on my 2021 500. It turned out Halcyon couldn’t provide the adaptors. Spoke to Hitchcocks who now only carry the Stadiums but they were able to separately sell me their adaptors which fitted perfectly. As for the mirror blanking screws, I found a guy making some up from 9mm casings and they look fantastic on the bike.

This was the first thing I did after I picked up my classic 350, those stock "Mickey Mouse" mirrors had to go! I just put one stadium round mirror on my left side (we ride on the "normal" side of the road here). What a big difference a simple mirror change can make on these bikes. The factory bar end options just look too modern for this style of bike, you can't go wrong adding these if you're trying to keep the bike retro looking. I've since made a ton of mod's, but the stadium bar end mirror was one of my favorite. Oh, and they work great too!

If I were intending to keep my Classic 350 ReBorn, I’d add these. I find I just don’t use the bike and where I live and ride, it’s just too slow. I bought that knowing it’s performance and I have enjoyed having it, I’m just not using it sadly. I have too many old bikes that take up space, I don’t want a new one doing the same. Great video Stu.

I like em Stu. The standard mirrors on the Classic 350 vibrate quite a bit even though the bike itself doesn't 🤷‍♂️. My shed has a limited opening so other bar end mirrors won't fit through. These might be the answer 👍 Blimey! Less than £70 for the pair too 😁. Cheaper than a lot of others too 👍

Morning Stu. Another good video. I have a pair of Halcyon rectangular mirrors fitted to my 59 Matchless. Super mirrors. Can’t get them tight enough to stop them turning in the handlebars but that’s a small problem. The poor old girl shakes, rattles and rolls so much over 50mph, you can’t anything anyway. Lol. I won’t be changing the OEM mirrors on my Interceptor though. Think they’re the best mirrors I’ve had.

I broke a mirror on one of my non round Halcyon’s. Was unable to find replacement mirror and I’m too cheap to buy a complete unit. I did some trial and error glass cutting and shaping to repair. Now I have one mirror that makes the traffic look many meters away while the other side appears to be tailgating. Yet another instance of a perceived easy DIY being more complicated.

Thank you for making another informative and well produced video Stuart. I have a question hopefully you can answer. I saw a review for these mirrors in the Stadium Accessories website claiming that they have an issue: Although they have been designed to fit both the left and right handlebar, the ratchet angles are not mirrored, so the reviewer said that on his bike they always look asymmetrical. Granted the review was for the hollow 7/8″ version of the mirrors but I would imagine the ratchet arm mechanism is the same for all versions. Needless to say I found it surprising to read that review, as it would seem like a serious manufacturing oversight for an otherwise premium item, and I suspect there might be something off about the way the reviewer installed his mirrors. But I thought I'd ask if you've noticed any slight asymmetry?

Morning Stuart. As ever a very informative video. I purchased the Halcyon mirrors for my Classic 500 ( which I have now sold and got the Classic 350 reborn) the Halcyons fit on the 350 but there is only room for the screw, no end plate etc. Do either you or any of your subscribers have any ideas re this. Seems a shame to waste a perfectly good set of mirrors. Thanks again for your excellent channel.
