Hi,

Looking to order some mirrors before the end of today, need ones that are:

a) Square, b) Handlebar mounted c) Don't magnify

Anyone think of some good ones! I just want to see behind me again!

Cheers!

Not sure if they would fit but vstrom mirrors are great, they dont vibrate or magnify. Probably not too cheap mind.

I've got a pair like that on the zeph that are coming off on Monday cos they are all wrong for that bike. I find them not tall enough, all I can see is my bloody elbows lol! Might be better on your GS cos the riding position id different? You're welcome to try them and if they suit they're yours.

Give me a shout on Sunday, I'l let you know if we are home and walking and you can nip over and have a look if you want.

ive got scooter mirrors on my bike atm, they have a wider field of view the only problem is the left hand side one is abit slack due to taking the fall of a cb500 minus rider lol which kind of adjusts it self when you hit anything over 60 but the right one is fine can see loads

If its your bike in your avatar, then it looks like you have a partial fairng and that the mirrors are attached to that. Surely putting them onto the handlebars is going to affect steering as they would catch on the fairing. Why not get some from something along the lines of a GSXR which are already fairing mounted??

Also agree with methods post.

Ah right, was just going by pic in your avatar. You thought about bar end mirrors then. Motrax do some in either black or silver for £30.

Yeah u screw them on in the right place then the inside of the mirror moves, not been out on the bike yet but sat on it and the view looks spot on. Also slightly shorter than me original ones so dont catch them on the shed anymore

went over to HG and bought some! Thanks short1!

They only had chrome or carbon tho, but the actual mirrors are perfect so I settled for chrome:

Theyre boss mirrors, don't vibrate and great view, the manager said if I kept the boxes I could bring them back si maybe he;d do the same with you?
