who are you to slag off a bike shop, they have to pay their staff, kids have to eat etc, you trying to turn the next generation into anorexics because minimum wage does not put enough food on the table, but you are happy cos you got your bit for your ol' shitter cheap as chips.

I fell off my wife's rg150 and smashed a mirror - $110 for OEM or $33 for a much better quality, bigger mirror from Cycletreads. Bought 2. she can now see traffic that's behind her unlike 90% of motorcyclists. Which means I have a right hand side RG150 mirror sitting at home.....which side do ya need?

I must impress upon you that this is a genuine Suzuki part so the quality of finish is, frankly, piss poor :rofl:

talk to pete jones (oyster) he'll have plenty of them, because he takes them off when he race preps them

@ OP

I'd invest in some bar end mirrors. Can't see shit in the genuine RG mirrors.

Like I said, stock RG mirrors are trash. I'd rather have a bar ender.

I did the cycletreads thing too - $22 each for really good large size big field of vision inc. free fitting. They looked pretty cool too I thought - see them one xxxkittiesxxx ride (me old steed - the bike not kittie!)
I currently have a real GSX6 1st gen mirror on my bike, which looks as though it has fallen off skeletor's helmet and is fairly useless, and an ugly 2nd gen GSX6 mirror on the other side, which is actually a good mirror. I'd like matching original mirrors - except I'm not trading a good mirror just for looks.

Always worth fitting good mirrors, esp. as the 'real' RG ones are crap.

I did not say awesome - they're frickin' mirrors for farks sake.

But yes, I think they look OK. For between this an $35 you have a choice at somewhere like cycletreads of about 5-6 types. One is bound to suit your fine tastes.

Chilled - thanks. Hope you got some good mirrors.
I'm very sensitive what with my non-matching mirrors and all ...
