Bought em off ebay. They are pretty nice, kinda close to your hands, can't see as much as the bar end mirrors, but still enough. Look 10 times better. Total cost was 50 shipped to door. Not difficult to wire at all just splice into existing turn signal wires and good to go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycle-turn-sig nal-mirrors-KZ-GS-CB-550-650-750-M68_W0QQcmdZViewI temQQcategoryZ35587QQihZ014QQitemZ330236500389QQrd Z1QQsspagenameZWDVW Ya, the buckle guard has done it's job well. Thought about getting a new one but figured why it's just gonna get scratched up as well. |

You need the CF airbox cover man! The mirrors are cool. |

The airbox cover is the only body part I haven't change to CF yet. It's next on the list. |

They are a huge improvenment in looks compare to them bar ends .. didn`t care for the looks of them at all.... These ones look something like the 1125 ones except for the s.... Are they better say than the stock S mirrors for seeing ??Any vibrations at all throughout the rpms etc etc?? All Plastic or Alum. or??? |

I never had the stock mirrors on the bike so I can't compare, the bike had bar end mirrors on it when I bought it. They were really small circular mirrors and I couldn't see crap out of them thats why I went the the rectangular bar end mirrors. All I can say is that with these I see a little of my arms and shoulders maybe the inside 1/4 of the mirror is blocked. Didn't have that before because those bar ends stuck out so far. The turn signal mirrors are metal stalk and the turn siganl/mirror housing is plastic. Didn't have a whole lot of vibration on the highway about the same as my old bar end ones. They vibrate a little at idle but then again so does the entire bike. I'm very satisfied with them. |

I really like those! Did they just screw in or did you have to do something to make them fit? The auction was for some KZ or something like that. I'd use the same store you did. |

"The airbox cover is the only body part I haven't change to CF yet. It's next on the list." Get the cold air induction cover from Al. You'll love it. |

They are the same thread as the stock mirrors, so they just screw right into the stock bases. They old ones I threw into a box in my storage room. I ordered some nice billet aluminum bar ends from american sport bike to fill in the open holes in my bars right now.} |

They are $30.95 a piece from Americansportbike.com http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/5072.html They have some scratches and a little white paint transfer on one side from taking the bike in and out of my basement. If you want them I'll sell em to ya for $40. |
