Looking for new mirrors --- need 130 mph mirrors

[Gregory]

I have a gs1100e, but it is frankensteined to look like a gs1000 skunk. I just bought some cheap round black mirrors off of ebay that I liked the look of, but when I got them I found they have plastic backs and joints.

They wont stay put at high speeds.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a tall stem round black mirror set that have a good enough quality to hold at high speeds? Actually they dont even have to be super long stems since I could add anti-vibration risers.

Rizoma has to have some.

Light travels a lot faster than that.
Any old mirror could handle 130 mph.

If you're doing 130 mph. there probably won't be anything behind you anyhow.

Having to carry a caesium-133 clock on board to compensate adds a lot of bulk and weight. Just like anything else miniaturization has eliminated that problem, you can get them as an all-in-one unit these days.

That's a damn good point. Didn't you have a cameo in The Cannonball Run?

Thank you, although I was hoping someone made a mirror that wouldnt twist in the wind for less than $89

Gee even if I could find one that didnt twist out of position at 100mph would be fine. Mine seem to get screwed up before I hit 80.

Mirrors are one of those specialty items where you really can see the difference.

That's wrong. Criminally defective. You should get your money back.

Yes I know, I am working on that as we speak. Seriously, I guess an OEM mirror should do the trick right?

Thank you, much appreciated. Another member - txgsrider pm'd me the same thing. I have a plan to do now !

I put a set of original GS1100 mirrors on the vibratory XS650 - they're dead solid and great quality.
Unfortunately, the market is flooded with copies of those mirrors and they're a bit pants, really.

Their is a metal weight affixed to the housing of my mirrors. I always wondered if thee largest shim of lead I could get in there would stop the vibrtations over 120 kmph.

They are old and I think the spring that serves to tighten the ball socket bit has lost a great deal of material and strength to rusting.

Is it just the things going askew that bugs you?
