    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

I want to replace the mirrors on my bike for something a little more profile. I don't wanna give up safety though. I just think the current ones look funny sticking up like mouse ears!:confused::confused: Any ideas or pics would be appreciated. This is what they look like now.
Thanks
 
I am partial to the longer/taller rectangular ones myself.
Increased viewing area and a more modern look:

I think rectangular mirrors would look the bomb with your rectangular headlight...
 
I believe they have the same rectangular mirror with a lower profile that branch out to the side the same. I think they would look good with the lower bars you have.
 
I have the rectangular extra length mirrors on my bike. When I changed the bars to the lower profile ES bars, I found I am looking into a tilted rectangle. They still work fine but it just bothers me that the mirror isn't parallel. I'm thinking of trying these. Not cheap, but neither are the Suzuki ones.

I have the rectangular mirrors on my Yammie, and I just bought some Honda CB750 mirrors for my GS. I like the round mirrors better as far as actually using them. However, the rectangular mirrors look better. Either way, invest in something decent! Both sets of my mirrors vibrate at highway speeds and are just about useless. I still look over my shoulder before ever changing lanes anyways, but, I guess I just use the mirrors to see who is sneeking peeks at our awesome bikes!
 
Yeah come to yhink of it rectangular to match the headlight might be a good idea. And bccap I like the idea of the "bar end mirrors" too! I just don't want to give up too much visabilty although I of course always shoulder check too. Funny when I was a young punk I probably would said "I don't need to see where I've been". Or something stupid like that. haha

Those mirrors have been changed, the GS(X) came with rectangular mirrors stock, not round ones.
The rectangular ones are my favorite.
 
Well, color me happy, ain't that interesting, first time I have seen that.
Over hear, the last year to get round mirrors was 79 or 80, from '81 everything had rectangular mirrors, you learn something every day
