If they say they are for older gsxr's or sv's then  they will be shorter.  I have a set of after market gsxr mirrors on my bike now.  View in the blind spots ( guess they are not blind spots anymore)  is great but directly behind you is hard I have to pull my arm in to see.

What side did you break?  And did you see this

Buy  them and try them out.  If you don't like them you can always put them up on ebay and get something else.  My after market sv / gsxr mirror build quality sucks.  They kept comming lose after adjusting them to much.  Maybe the LP's are better tho.
