Title: mirrors and signal lights for GS500E
Post by: Tang on April 02, 2008, 08:49:14 PM
I want to know what kind of mirrors i could get to put on a 1998 GS500E.

i sorta of want ones on the end of the handle bars.

and for signal lights i want to shorten the stocks ones i got but don't know what kind to get.

Any pointers or tips would really helpful!

I have a set of non-DOT ThirdEye mirrors. They're plastic, cheap, and not quite perfect. What you'll want is one that attaches to the bar end, but is 1-3" above the bar end, and still out 2-4" from the bar end to clear your arms and hands. The way mine are I have to glance down just a smidge to see them. At some point I'll put proper bar end mirrors on it, but haven't found any yet.

I've considered gsx-r mirrors with integrated signals, but am lazy or something and haven't found a pair yet. THey're not bar end mirrors, but just wanted to mention them.

Current mirrors:

It works great, nice tank bag. Joe Rocket right? Bike looks awesome.

Is it just me or does the rear wheel look a little chicken eyed?
