    score-GS1000S mirrors

    Pretty ratty, but I picked this up for $55 today. The glass in the mirrors is fine, just a little touch up and a repaint and they'll be good as new. Didn't care about the fairing, but these mirrors are all but unobtainium, so I thought I better jump on them.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Are the right ones as rare as left ones ? I see both are shown as unavailable on any of the parts sites I've seen

          I saw that, but it was a left mirror. Or doesn't that matter ?

            That's the reason I went for em..they're just so hard to find and they're going for outrageous prices. I'm gonna restore them and then stash them away in case I ever need them. The guy that sold them didn't even know what they were... He just wanted to get rid of them. Cool.

                  Will do, Chuck. I got this set from Seattle. A friend of mine found them on Craig's List, contacted me, and then went and made the deal in a Walmart parking lot. He was asking $75, but took the offer of $55 right off the bat w/o even haggling over them.

                    Rats!
                    I had offered him $100 for it.
                    He said that he would pack them up.
                    Guess he changed his mind.
                    Perhaps he needed a "fix" straight away?

                      From the description my friend gave me of the guy selling them..he was exactly as you describe. Sorry to scoop them away from you, Eric..sorta..

                        A Walmart parking lot? $55 instead of $100? Methinks you're last sentence might be accurate.

                          That's OK, I'll take it in a discount on a paint job.

                              You won the Daily Double, Larry. Nice deposit for kid's college fund.
                              Wonder if it's wrong to ride around with my mirrors wrapped in bubble-wrap?
