Title: Rear view mirrors
Post by: Mr.7 on September 14, 2005, 01:07:11 PM
In my opinion the stock mirrors on the gs are not that good looking and I was thinking about changing them. I thought that mabey some bar-end mirrors would look cool. Anything to lower the over-all look of the bike. Anyone else change the mirrors?

You can get bar-end mirrors too...  Good luck seeing stuff behind you though.

+1  Mine have the "carbon" look.  Still vibrate too much at the higher revs, probibally more the bike than the mirrors...makes it hard to see if there is a cop behind  :lol:

Is there any way to alleviate the vibe?  It sometimes drives me nuts trying to figure out what's behind me.

Except that he has a '97 GS...  Those mirrors are for GS500Fs.

I also have a 97'........SV "lollipop" mirrors are great.  Excellent view and no vibration.
