    You have to watch the Mirror Stem length. A dealer sold me a set he said would fir my '83 GS750SE, but the stems were so much shorter, I couldn't see behind me. I got my money back.

      My original stock ? mirrors vibrated shamelessly…..plus the stems were too short. I found some early Honda 1980 ish off the bigger bikes and they worked perfectly. I bought a backup set in case I find the pavement .

            My original mirrors were perfect. They aren't made anymore, and any that come up on EBAG are junk, and they are commanding high prices. My bike fell over when the side stand dug into soft tarmac, and popped the mirror off the stem. For the life of me I could not figure how they out that mirror back onto the stem.

              Can't say for other models, but on my 82 GS650E the mirrors are solid with no vibration at all all the way through to 140kph. 120kph in 4th and no vibration at all....As fast ass i got.

              Mirrors are great with no shoulders in them.

                Early GS's had vibration dampeners where the mirriors mounted, wondering if "82"650's had them?

                    They have the Mirrors listed. I don't know if they actually have them. It would be almost $200 bucks for the pair. My wife would kill me. I'll have to wait.

                    I'm putting a GS1150 front end on my GS750ES right now and mounting GSX600 3 spoke rims, TOKICO brakes, so I can have a 17" front tire. I'm doing everything in a manner that the bike could be restored to original. I purchased it new in 1983, built it out of the crate.
                    The 16" size is very limited in availability. Thanks for the link!
