Later '74 or 75?
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

The foam mirror is original. Keeps it from vibrating.

I only bought repro mirrors once. They vibrated badly at idle. I think you can still buy the mirrors from Kawasaki. My originals vibrate at about 4,000 rpm. Same point they vibrated back in the day.

Yep...checked on Partzilla...$63.39 each. A tad expensive but worth it I think.
