Yeah, they are 7/8" CRG Hindsight LS mirrors. I like them much better than the stock mirrors...

The Buddha

These are 2 welds. Fit 90-00 like a glove. 4 welds are what will fit an 01+. Sorry I put some pics up earlier. I'll find that thread. 1 min.
Cool.

Ahhhhhh he said S****th!

Yeah, but he spelled it wrong, does that still count?

The Buddha

That thread I linked to had it spelled right.
I dunno I am working on covering my tracks - what for - dunno, cos we broke a house rent lease in TX wifey was concerned the clowns will try to stick a colelctor on me. However some other clowns did stick a collector on me and I threatened them with a lawsuit. They promptly vanished. Maybe the threat is faded now. However I am too used to being buddha. So I'm staying buddha.

So change it JHoffy8 or I'll quon you.
Cool.
Buddha.

Budda, whats the difference between the 2 welds and 4 welds?
The 4 wleds look wider and farther....the 2 welds look narrower

They look perfect for an easy upgrade to more sport bars, wow im so excited...When can we gettem'??

JHoffy8

My apologies to the Buddah. I should know better. I will quon myself. Great reference. Giddyup!

The Buddha

As kramer said in the very first episode ... "when a patient is being difficult they quon him"
Apparently its a medical word after he made "quon" in scrabble and seinfeld challenged it.
Cool.
Buddha.

Has anyone tried the bikemaster dragbar.  Might they have pictures?  Someone did a photoshop mockup, which looks cool, but i'm not sure its to scale. 

I'm thinking the dragbar would be an excellent compromise between clipons and the bikemaster superbike.

He said that most men are in this life like the carpenter, whose work went so slowly from the dullness of his tools that he had not the time to sharpen them.

89clipons or dragbars... I have a gs500f 08 can u possibly give me a bit more info on how to aquire a set of these am in the middle of modifying and this is the best type of that style that I've been able to find, also would 3mm bar extenders be a good add on as I have a gSxr 600 rear spring which Is set a bit higher than stock?

none of my bars hit the tank at full lock. I just didnt like the riding position, I guess with stock rearsets they are fine but my rearsets are not stock so I was un comfy
Odd, my right side hits my tank when I turn sharply, maybe they arent stock though....
