    Hard to find, even in the day..

    Correct mirrors for the GS1000S. Maybe they were tossed back then because they didn't work worth a crap, and didn't have the value that they have today...



    Models came as an extra added bonus..Barry Sheen doesn't seem to mind..

      They seem to be aimed correctly ...

          Where did you get the photo of the lass on the S? She used to go out with a mate of mine around 1980 (it's not his bike, he had an 850G). I only knew her nickname - Jim Baines (after a TV soap character she most definitely did not resemble). Small world I suppose.

          Anyway, OT, the S came out of the box with those mirrors on over here as well as the unique S mirrors.

                          What? Are there motorcycles in those pictures? I haven't seen them yet.

                                  How interesting about the girl on the S. I thought she was very attractive and loved the photo. I found that pic on the Cycle World site "Photos of Girls and Motorcycles" and copied it. I didn't realise the bikes in the UK came with those mirrors. Learn something new all the time.

                                      That is sexual assault in 2017..... Barry's career would be over. Not to make light of the Me Too campaign, but do we need to maintain a 3 foot barrier around women at all times?

                                          It's a different culture in England. Heck, it's different in Europe. America is just uptight. Just my opinion based on living in England, Germany, and Italy... minimum 3 years in each country.
