Stupid question time...the rubber mirror insulators...need them?

[Guest]

I was polishing the mirrors on my bike end of this week...clutch side unscrewed fine...alt side came apart with the knurled section attached to the mirror stud - cup still on the clutch handle assembly.
So, do I really need another one...do the mirrors buzz that much to need one?

I'd say you don't "need" them. I think it was a little gingerbread Suzuki added to there motorcycles. Like the Gear Position Indicator, Self Cansaling Turn Signals, Bullet Proof Engine...

If your mirrors buzz like mine, then you might appreciate having a bit more dampening, but I've never felt like I "needed" it

I'd try them without and see how they look (pardon the pun), but if they are significantly buzzy you might be better off with a Bar Snake or bar-end weights rather than dampers.
