I got a set of new ones from the dealership for the first skunk project. They are slightly different in the fact that the glass is now rubber mounted around the edges instead of just the metal crimping. I then got a sweet set of stockers ( originals ) from a member here that will go on the second skun k i am doing right now. Depending on what your into, but i think bar end mirrors would sport it up a bit. Me, I am all about keeping as stock as possible.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550
NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Here's a inventory of bike mirrors, superbike and classic and RK America for your consideration. They have the 4" round stainless for $8.25, the closest to stock mirrors.
