Those look great. They appear to be quite a bit larger than the stock round mirrors.
Keep us posted on how they work out. |

oops
guess a link to them would have helped http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280386491008&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT from dk-scooter they have longer stem ones too. They are already 8mm threads so, they go right into the stock mounts on my gt200(again thanks drewteague) all I had to get was 2 8mm nuts to use as stops. The ones from the stock mirrors are too big, and I got some small rubber grommets to fill the extra space. I can post pics if anyone needs them. |

I don't love them
they aren't practical enough for me. I love the look, but can't really get them adjusted well enough to get a good view. I have ordered the longer stem ones, these are only 5" long, the longer ones are 7", that should get me a better view, right now, I am barely able to see around my shoulders. I might try them on my typhoon. we'll see |

I wonder if they make those shorter stem mirrors in round, too. Didn't see any in the eBay seller's store. I think they'd look neat on the GTV, if they fit right. Not sure if there's anything different about fitting mirrors on a GTV, since they don't have the headset of the rest of the GT/GTS line. The screw holes for the mirror stems are exposed and welded to the back of the brake resivoirs.
