    Mirror vibration dampers

    Anyone know where I can find a set of mirror vibration dampers? Google, JCWhitney and Ridegear (the 3 I look at first for everything) show nothing.

      Bikebandit and Babbittsonline still show them as being available from Suzuki. Look up the parts fiche for 1983 GS1100G, then go to the handlebars drawing.

      SUZUKI:
      1978 GS1000E; 1980 GS1000G; 1982 GS650E; 1982 GS1100G; 1982 GS1100E; 1985 GS700ES
      HONDA: 1981 CB900F Super Sport
      KAWASAKI: 1981 KZ550A-2; 1984 ZX750A-2 (aka GPZ750); 1984 KZ700A-1
      YAMAHA: 1983 XJ750RK Seca

        They're on the fiches for the 79-83 GS850G, but not the GL.

        About $10-$12 each, depending on your parts source. Very much worth it, too.

        Unfortunately, the originals were chromed, while new ones come with a dull black finish.

              I didn't realize they were original equipment. I'm gonna order the OEM ones today. Those ones from JCWhitney didn't get too many favorable reviews.

                I think these will only work on a four-cylinder bike, where the handlebar vibration is at a higher frequency.

                Just for giggles, I tried a set on my VX800, which is a V-twin, and they actually made things a bit worse. You'll notice the reviewers at JCW who gave it negatives were riding large V-twins.

                I'm sure the Suzuki parts are much higher-quality than the JCW parts as well, and they come with lock nuts.
