Hi Joel,

Thanks for responding.  It's good to be back in the "swing" of things on
the list.

I figured since I already had 2, that if someone had a couple of extras
it wouldn't be too much.  But.....that's a good idea if things get too pricey-Thanks

Since this is an 89 I thought maybe that the  original heated mirrors
were bigger or something??
Also the screw holes are only about 2.5 to 3 inches apart in a perfect

Well that was my first thought too.  Except they are not far apart like
on truck mirrors.  Sure didn't want to believe (and still don't) that
someone would put those nasties on a Westy.

It's on both sides so I don't think it was horns.  Grrrr......now how am
I' going to find the matching paint from 11 years ago......

Well she gave this guy a pretty hard time and he kept on putting up with
it trying to please but what she really wanted was a buddy girlfriend
not a boyfriend :o)
