Real curious about a better mirror too. Currently just grabbing the stem
of the mirror when real curious about what's coming up. Anyone have success
with after-market, or Other brands OEM mirrors?

the standard application is to use XRL 650 mirrors...you need the mirror and
base which is rubber mounted. Fred can get 'em for you. Some of us have had
nearly spectacular results others very little change.

I tried the rubber mirror mounts from JC Whitney posted by a lister. Improved the vibration characteristics by dampening the buzz somewhat (the mirrors folks, I don't drive that way) Todd A9

After my mirrors were riped off in Guanajuato, MX, I bought some generic
Chinese in Leon. $12 for both; they've worked fine. Bogdan

In one of my moto catalogs there were replacement mirrors with built in
vibration dampeners. One of the sets looked exactly like the ones my dad has
on his '98 V-Star. These mirrors are excellent. When riding his bike I can
see just as good in the mirrors as my truck mirrors. Ill find out what cat
it was in. The mirrors on my KLR are only good for flossing or picking a
bugger.

I have been using J C Whitney shock-absorbing mirror mounts
$3.99
part no. 06LD0517X http:
www.jcwhitney.com
had them for 6 months now a real improvement for $8.00 Plus a
lovely bit of chrome [ the drawback]

Ben,
In additon to buying both manuals (KLR600 base & KLR650
supplemental), I'd suggest buying the 'parts manual' microfiche
(less than $4 [USD] from the Kawi dealer, when I bought mine 2
years ago). As a bonus, the parts fiche includes the "Assembly
& Preparation" manuals which another lister said the dealers
ignore!
I bought a fiche viewer at a local thrift store for $8. Most
viewers have only 1 magnication setting (some have dual settings).
I highly recomment buying the parts fiche & a viewer. Bring the
fiche with you to see if it matches the viewer's magnification.
If they don't match, you'll get an image that's to large for the
screen or an image that is too small to be useful.
