If the person who bought this mirror is in need of a matching NOS Right Hand Mirror.... I have it available for the same price!

Boy..someone seriously needs to make reproductions of these mirrors. I paid less than half that for a new set a year ago..the last pair, I believe, that Bike Bandit had.

Still available in Europe for less than ?50. I paid ?15 for my RH side 2 years ago. CMSNL have got 3 sets left.

It's all about timing.

Rats, none left. Put them in my wishlist. Maybe they'll find more?

What a rip.

I may have found 3 NOS Right hand side mirrors - am communicating with seller at present. Pricing likely to be sky high...

I'm thinking of selling mine, but I want a reasonable facsimile to replace them. These look about right, but the spacing between bolts is 40mm and I need 50mm.

I have not yet purchased a set of these RG500 repro mirrors but somebody here did and said they fit and look "similar".
Can't find the old thread.

Looking at the picture, it appears the bolt is molded to the bracket. If that is the case, you would need to alter the original cooley fairing bracket in order for these to work.

If you are used to the original ones, you won't be happy with this set;
they vibrate and above 100km/h they do not stand their ground.
Screw to thighten them is on the inside, so the glass pane must be removed...

I'll keep you in mind. However, I'm needing to get as much as I can to help pay for new ones and pay down some bills. If I can find a decent replacement, I'll PM you to see what you offer.

That's the issue with the ones I was looking at. I'd prefer an adjustable bolt so as not to need to alter the bracket.

Thanks for the follow-up, Lorenzo.

There's a link to Ken Sean mirrors on the Dennis Kirk store in the most recent thread in "Old Technical Stuff", aptly named "GS1000S mirrors".
https://www.denniskirk.com/ken-sean/black-universal-rectangular-mirror.p391082.prd/391081.sku
There are 2 very subtle variations of the same mirror - one, as shown on the link, has a hole in the moulding up near the glass, and one that doesn't have the hole. I've fitted the non-hole version to my 1000S and they look pretty good. No vibration, and the mounting holes fit the 1000S brackets without any mods. I searched high and low to find mirrors that a)looked as close as possible, and b)didn't require any butchering of the fairing brackets.

The previous owner had fitted early GSXR mirrors, where the mounting stud is moulded into the mirror. That requires the thread holes in the fairing brackets to be drilled oversize. I had to fit helicoils to undo the damage done.

^^^I saw those in my search. I really don't like the stems on them, but at that price, I may go for it anyway. Thanks for confirming they'll fit!
