Guys,
The mirrors on my bike are a bit wobbly and I was wondering if they are the correct ones for the GT750. They do have the Suzuki " S" emblem on them, and the thread at the bottom is 8mm which screws into a boss with a rubber trim around it that is itself fitted into the base
I have included a couple of photos, so if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Bob

Re: Mirrors
They wobble because:
The rubbers are knackered.
They are 40 odd years old.
The Hippo vibrates like a barsteward at tickover.
(Well, mine does!)
Or you can just get some of the rubber anti vibro thingies and chuck the old 'uns away.

Re: Mirrors
Having had another look at them it looks as though the anti vibration rubbers are indeed knackered, so the next question is where on earth can I get new ones from ?

Re: Mirrors
The genuine mirrors have a very thin rubber surround with a split in it pattern ones have continuous rubber usually..

Re: Mirrors
Guys,
Thanks for you help and suggestions. I have just ordered 2 anti-vibration bosses from the site that 2strokejohnny suggested, and they look just like the one on my bike.
Thanks to all once again for the help. I have a number of old bikes/cars and this is the best forum that I have ever experienced, so well done and thanks to all of you.
