replacement mirrors

as some of you will know i dropped my bike recently but its not all bad news because i already had replacements on order because i was told that the suzuki 04 gsxr 750 mirrors were nearly a direct replacement, all i had to do was keep the yam bases and fit the suz mirror stems to them,this is the before shot
with the yamaha mirror

and this is the after shot with the suzuki mirror

i havent been out on the road yet but first impressions are that they will be a big improvement on the originals and for £28.80 delivered they didnt break the bank either

Is that due to there being no hairy Scotsman in the second pic

i was rather pleased and they only took 10 minutes to fit, think i'll order more stuff from the same place,its in usa but i noticed that the package was marked as a gift with a value of $5. so that should keep customs away from anything that is over the limit for paying duty on

Re: replacement mirrors

Right Sam...as you are the expert here.....what do I replace my hornet mirrors with? They're a bit rusty and I want something that doesn't look like a pair of saucers!

Re: replacement mirrors

But that's exactly the huge saucer types I don't want!

Funny you should say that....see GB's 'it's like this' thread.
(Then you can stay 'on topic' on this one!)
