GSXR Mirrors on Pointy.

First ride with the new mirror...
Are they as good as they are cracked up to be?

In a word No.

Do they give better visibility - yes a little.

Was it worth it, sure why not!

The flush mount inds are a good plan as you can see the flash when a bikes along side.
Every little helps

Ok here is a step by step guide for one side

Measure once, cut twice... Or was it the other way round??



Marked up ready to grind down


Ok, the finished article


Pick appropriate washer and rubber spacer


Put back together, drill hole for wire and feed thru




Hmm something is wrong here, what have I done???


Ah crap!! I've only gone and used the old mounts!!! So take it all apart again and use the gsxr mounts...


Ah much better


So there you have it folks, easy peasy.

Total time about 6hrs... 3hrs per side... That was with a tea and biscuit break and messing around on the phone and tidying up

I think I will go for side mount indies.... Anyone like to donate to my master plan??

Top job mate looks great

So you modified/ground down the GSXR Indicator Mirror stalks to fit the Original Mirror Mount on the SV correct?

Or is it you had to buy two different sets of GSXR Mirrors, in which parts were exchanged to fit on the SV?

Can't figure out if that mount you used in the finished product is the Original SV Mount or not..

Thanks for the clarification!

Two new sets of mirrors, k3/4 gsxr mirrors which has a different angle on the mount, gsxr k6/7 onwards with indicator mirrors.

Strip them all down, grind down the indicator mirrors and bobs your uncle.

£50 all in...

Gsxr mirrors then older gsxr mounts to get correct angle as sv ones are wrong angle

If I had to do it all over again I might try the Honda ones

What is the primary benefit to doing it this way, rather than reusing the Original SV Stalks ?

Main thing I hope for is being able to hide the wire because its ran thru the stem with the GSXR stalk

Does it matter if its from a 650/1000 or if they are OEM or not?

Yes there is the fact that the gsxr arms hide the wire but they are also nicer than the china versions that just bolt on with no modification.

Doesn't matter which cc engine, no significant difference between oem and after market
