Anyone used Koso mirrors?

Hey all, looking to get a set of stalk mirrors for my naked bandit as find bar ends just get in the way when filtering, but few stalk mirrors look good and give decent field of vision, so wondered what they're like? Thanks

I've got them on my hornet. They're fine.

Had them on an SV650 previously and found them useless due to excessive vibrations (couldn't make out jack shit in the mirrors)

I prefer standard OEM.

I would use standard oem mirrors but where I've got a set of dominator a fitted, they don't seem to match the styling, hense why I was considering the Koso mirrors

Not the most visually appealing, but have you tryed some inwards bar end ones so they don't extend the width of the bike

This or similar sor of design

I actually find stalks can be a hassle filtering also, as on my bike they're often exactly the same height as white-van mirrors which stick out ridiculously far, and often end up having to stop and wait to shuffle past the van to avoid hitting it.

I have seen this but figured due to how they're pointed inwards, view would be restricted.

Don't know how stalk mirrors sit on a bandit so couldn't comment, but i know on my ZX6 i tryed bar end mirrors like that [took them off as they were ugly as sin Embarassed

] and they were equal if not better visibility than the OEM stalks, but then that is a sport bike which i know are renowned for needing you to do 'chicken wing' motions to see past your shoulder Laughing

Hey all, just ordered a set of the koso style mirrors as they're cheap and managed to save some money on insurance this year, so will give them a go and will let you know how I get on with them. Thanks all Very Happy
