Good Mirrors for KZ550? was created by jimmeth
I'm looking for some good mirrors to replace my mismatched ones. I dig the tall 4 1/2 inch wide original, but the 4 inch aftermarket shakes so bad it's worthless over 40 MPH.
Anyone got any suggestions where to look for quality for aftermarket mirrors they are happy with?

I haven't had any vibration issues with any of the mirrors I've tried...Lucky, I guess? I'm using the EMGO short arm mirrors in chrome...tried the longer ones first....functionally much better, but looked like an insect...(Or pewee herman's bike, only gayer! LOL that's a good one!) Swapped `em out for the shorter ones...Just have to bring my elbow in a bit for an unobstructed view.Form should follow function, but I just could not tolerate my baby looking like a London "mod's" scooter ....now where IS that confounded Victorian suit?

Grumpy, Thanks for the response. Those look great.Glad to hear not all replacements are as bad as the one my bike came with. I'm gonna check those out or something similar.
