Hey, just finished this one up. Been working on it off and on for the last year and finally got around to getting it done. Hope you like it.

Hey jewfzr, do you sell the originals? If so, what do they cost?

Do you have a web site with an overview of all of your work? If not, you should really talk with Louis abut setting something up!

Another great job! Maybe put the website in your sig. I went to it once, great work!

Inspiron, got a picture of your bike? What bar end mirrors do you have?

Blue Suzuki GSX 1400 (106 HP), Bar-end mirrors, TRE, cooler cover, engine protector bars, tailBlazer (coming soon)

Hey Dale,

I picked up a set of bar-end mirrors from my dealer. I'm not overly happy with these, because they are not easily adjustable. The are fastened to the bars with the same screw that's holding the bar-end weights on, so the only way to adjust the vertical pitch is to loosen that screw, set the mirror, and tighten the screw again. When that screw is loose, the mirror just flops down. There is another screw behind the mirror to adjust the angle, but again, I need tools to set the mirrors.

I wanted to move the mirrors to the bar ends, because I was having problems with the stock mirrors - all I could see was my elbows, and I had a large blind spot directly behind me. With the mirrors out on the bar ends, I have alot more visibility behind me.

The GSX1400.ORG site has pointed me to some other manufacturers, so I may replace these mirrors again next season. Here's one link: http://www.britishcycles.com/generic12.html

The picture is poor ... sorry. I took it in my garage as I was winterizing the bike in early November. For better pictures, you'll just have to wait about 13 weeks until springtime

They sure do sparkle.

Wow! What's it like to have an empty garage Inspiron? I just carpeted mine to keep my barefeet warm!

Never know when I might have to sleep there!
