    GS550L mirror blur over 70mph

    Is there anything I can do for this? I don't feel any vibration through the bars but the mirrors get progressively blurry as I get over 70mph. By 80 they are totally blurred out.

    I have aftermarket bars (Daytona bars) and the mirrors (also aftermarket ovals) are on extension stalks. I also have a wind screen and grip heaters.

    Have folks tried rubber bushings anywhere?

    I don't mind it too much since I usually stay off the faster roads but it would be nice to fix.

    Some pictures:

    You can try these rubber mirror dampers, but not sure they will be worth the expense.

    To measure is to know.

      My XJ900 suffers bad from that. Yamaha's solution was to glue a lead weight into the head shell of each mirror.
      Some experimentation will get you to the same place.

        There are rubber dampers on my 850 and they seem to do their job. My KLR 640 was the worst, by far, but as a thumper I felt fortunate to keep the glass from vibrating completely out, haha.

        DimitriT I have some mirrors in the garage. If you want the dampers off of them, or the mirrors themselves, they're yours for postage. Likely $10 or so.
