this is what i have on mine, there a little shorter than stock, only reason i got these is because mine snapped off when i lowsided and i couldnt find stock ones at the time under $100, there staight bolt on, they look pretty good.

The Gixr mirrors wont fit without some serious modifications.  I have tried.  I sent mine to Mak to see if he could machine something that will allow them to work.  If they do I'll post a pic of what it looks like.  I already have an extra fairing painted with the holes filled in.

TragicImage was talking about patching over the holes and installing Gsxr mirror's, I'm guessing that he's talking about 06 Gixr mirrors because they have the turn signal's built into the mirrors.  Otherwise why would you patch the hole in the fairing?

I think some of the GSX-Rs don't have direct bolt on replacement mirrors, while others do. The ones with integrated turn signals would be pretty awesome if they bolted right up. Perhaps the '05 GSX-R1000's mirrors will work with the GS500.

yup.

06 mirror with integrated turn signal.


I love fabrication.... where there's a will... and available shop time... there's a way.
