~~~I'm using these on my 950A http://www.blackdogcw.com/category/DoubleTake.html I have the ball end that screws into the OEM handlebar mirror locations. Nice rear view, then swings out of the way when running off road. I didn't think the price was too bad either Jake Reddick Fla.

The Ken Sean Enduro Mirrors attach to your stock mirror location and will fold behind your handlebars. They are about 1/3 the price. http://www.angelfire.com/ut/moab/images/enduro_mirror.jpg Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com From: skypilot110 Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 8:49 AM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: What are the most recent good options for mirrors Any hope of photos with these mounted for reference?

The beginning of this thread, somebody took a dirt nap (skypilot?) and messed up a mirror(s). The reply fits into the category of armoring your KLR, which precipitates a couple of comments: I have two of these mirrors [bought from Fred] installed on our off-road bikes as 'single-mirror' applications and have been very pleased with the results. The pivot-ball construction allows for plenty of give when you, uh, dirt nap. Not that I would know. They would work equally well on the KLR if I did not have mirror isolators that Fred has carried in the past. The mirror isolators help stabilize the visual image, but the larger benefit for me, they also bend/flex about 30 degrees when the bike is taking a dirt nap. Not that I would know. cough. And while you are at it: If you don't have the mirror clutch- perch that relocates from the signal quadrant to the clutch lever clamp; do yourself a $120 favor and order that as well. If you fall down on the left, you are likely to break off the mirror on the signal quadrant plus destroy the $120 switch and you will still have to buy the 'perch'. Not that I would know. Heck, while you got out the VISA, get some more of the very useful armor items that will make your KLR a lot more fun to ride in the environment it was designed to excel: bark busters DR650 foot pegs gel grips Vista Cruise throttle lock plug and play fuse kit revmaaatin. who knows there is more, oh, much more to armor.

I've been a big fan of the Honda XR650L mirrors but by the time that you buy all the parts they are real expensive. I've been using the KTM "Military" mirrors on my Wee with great success, if I broke one of the Honda mirrors on my KLR I'd by a pair of the KTM mirrors for less than the cost of one of the Honda parts.
