Mirrors

Another discussion (on helmets and visability) reminded me that I had wanted to get some feedback on mirrors. I have handlebar mounted mirrors- and I'm fine with them, not looking to get fairing mounted ones- but I was thinking of getting the shock-absorbing mirror mounts like these http://www.jcwhitney.com/shock-absorbing-chromed-mirror-mount/p2002273.jcwx?filterid=j3

Another idea I had was to install one or two of the convex mirrors. Has anybody else installed them? General success?

I questioned using them but in the end I didn't. The best thing you can do is get real motorcycle mirrors. None of that aftermarket crap. Only stock mirrors seem to have stock quality. Everything else vibrates like crazy.





I like my mirrors. They are from a Kawasaki Mean Streak 1600. I figure if they are good enough for 1600 then they are good enough for a 500.

Where'd you get yours? I looked on EPray but it looked like even the crap sold for Kawasaki bikes were aftermarket.
