Does anyone have an installation sheet, document, pics or advise as to where the passenger mirror for a 71 should be installed?
Regards

Hi,
the passenger mirror for late Pagodas (250 from #2980 - 280) are mounted in mirror symmetry to the driver side.
Here you'll find some photos:

.
For early models it's different. There the passenger side mirror has to be moved 9 cm backwards.
I hope you've decided to install a mirror with convex mirrorglas:

I highly recommend the convex mirror. I recently made the change - - and WOW what a difference!

I also recommend a convex mirror glass - big difference.
Also: there is a reinforcement plate inside the door sheet for mirror installation.

Mirror installed with plate (inside door) and convex.
Much safer driving!

I think so!
I find it particularly helpful in city traffic with soft top up.
