New Mirrors...suggestions?

[AOD]

I've had two pairs of these Emgo mirrors from JCWhitney. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...splay/ss-10111

I like them, but this recent pair has started getting blurry from vibration, which they didn't do when new, and they aren't holding their position anymore under high speed.

Emgo makes pretty decent stuff usually...but I guess these mirrors don't cut it. Most of you have seen my bike, so I'm not after a stock mirror, and I don't like bar ends really. Any reccomendations of a quality mirror?

Thanks!

I second the Napoleon recommendation. I have the long stalk regular models & they work great.

I have bar end weights in there now, which helped kill a lot of my bar buzz...I don't think i want to lose them and bring back the buzz...

Funny you bring this up, mine are acting the same way! I have the EMGO's on there now and really like the size and position of them. I also have a pair of Napoleon mirrors at home, gonna throw them on and try 'em out. I wouldn't give up my bar end weights either, and I really didn't like the bar end mirrors when I had them on my 81 1100E.

I have Napoleons. Black. Longer stalk. They hold their position and don't vibrate. (Vibration is not always the mirrors fault.) Check them out at my website if you like. Click the WWW symbol below.

Ebay

Some of the newer Japster rigs come with really high quality mirrors. They are very expensive purchased new but I found a pair on Ebay from a late model Kawasaki cruiser for $15. I must say, however, when they arrived and looked to be brand new.....I got a little suspicious. :?

Well I know what you said Adam but to get what your asking for the stock mirrors cannot be beat. They stay still and vibrate very little and hold their posision. Why are they not an option for you? Just curious?

I would love to stay with my stock mirrors but I am a "stocky" guy so I can't see past / over my shoulders. I am also looking for mirrors for my 81 GS 550 L.

My bike is not too 'stock' in appearance, Hoom, so they really don't fit the picture too well.

I may just order another pair of Emgo mirrors and return the first ones...JCWhitney has free shipping going on right now.

Razor I thought I was the only one with that problem, look in the mirror and all I see is my shoulders. I look funny doing the chicken wing thing to see behind me. I swiped the mirrors off of my brothers old honda, the stems were longer on it. Not a great solution but I can see better than I could before.

I've had good luck with the Emgo Pro Sports from crc2onlinecatalog .
The stems are 5/16", so I buy a couple of lengths of 1/4" I.D. 6" long brass pipe, drill out the ends to 5/16", cut the stems and JB weld them into the ends of the pipes. I can have any length stem I need to give a view clear of my shoulders/arms. The extra mass of the brass also dampens any vibration and the brass polishes to a gold look.

I'd like to find some "low gloss" chrome rectangular mirrors that are just as big as the stock ones. When I say just as big I'm talking about the stalks, the glass should be bigger and extended out 2" further on each side.

Well, I was at the Suzuki dealer today and the mirrors on the Suzuki Boulevard look to match the GS style to a T. I'll have to measure them next tirme I'm in but I'm afraid to find out what they are "worth".
