    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Replacement mirrors

The ones on my '83 GS1100ES need replacing so seeking recommendations and sources for decent aftermarket versions that look close to originals?
 
Hi,

Just don't go cheap. I tried a pair of $15 EMGO mirrors. They were small, vibrated like crazy, and would not stay in position. I like my stock mirrors a LOT better. I think you can still get OEM mirrors for your bike but they're about $45 each.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Ugh, one of my pet peeves - replacement mirrors with FLAT glass. "true distortion free accurate flat" etc etc. As if that's a GOOD thing.

Every OEM mirror on EVERY bike I've ever seen or owned had mildly convex lenses on both sides.

I've got a couple spare sets on the shelf of sets I ordered not realizing they were flat. Sigh.

Just my two cents...
