I have these on my '90 and love them. Compared to the stock mirrors there's like no shake at all.
But I got almost those exact ones off ebay for like $25...so his price is a bit high unless you feel like supporting him or these really are that much better. :dunno_black:

Links in case anyone's curious:

Looks like I got ripped off.   :2guns:

Bought these for $40 and had to pick 'em up a few towns over, no less.   :bs:

Okay, I'll hang on to these as the "just in case" mirrors. No need to pass along a bad deal... They're no longer for sale, but I'll leave the thread up so other folks can check out the links Wrightboy provided.

^^ awesome!
cant stand the stock mirrors and having to tilt my head to see directly behind me cause my arms in the way.

after replacing my handlebars, looking to get some bar end mirrors.

too bad the cheaper ones on sale ends in a day, no $$ in paypal to spend til the end of the week.

After re-reading the thread I do want to apologize for posting that.
I had skimmed your original post, noticing the mirrors were the same but when I got to bottom for some reason in my mind it came across as you advertising the sale on that link. Which I don't have a problem with, I just wanted to let other GSers out there know they could get it for less elsewhere. Didn't realize it was actually you doing the selling, didn't mean to yank your sale like that.  :icon_confused: Next time I'll read slower and keep quiet lol.

Just ordered some identical looking ebay mirrors yesterday. I have a 91 or 92 (can't remember) and don't have hollow bars. Hoping I can get these fit on the bar end weights. How did/will you guys mount yours?

I have the same issue with filled bars, at first I thought it couldn't be done. What I did was scoot everything (controls, grips, the works) in enough to slide them onto the ends of the bars, the only issue then being that they couldn't get tight enough to secure the ball the holds the mirror. So I glued in some flattened strips of wire in one side to make the hole smaller. Worked great and I love them.

Probably a better way, that's just what I did lol =P

actually had that same assumption.

but actually it was both, him advertizing his own for sale and posting where he got them.

(edit)
had to replace my bars and got lucky, old ones were filled in but new ones are hollow on the ends.
exactly why im lookin at gettin some now

Yeah, I wasn't try to rip anyone off. I'm actually #8 in the thread that I linked.

Glad that people have had positive experiences with these though. :)
