It appears my 2001 SV 650 decided to attack my dad in the garage. Long story short.. I am now short one stock handlebar mirror. Anyone have a mirror hanging out that they'd be willing to part with?

Thanks!

Which one, right or left? Or are they the same? I replace my 2002 mirrors, so I might have one if it's the same as the 2001... I'd have to find it in the 'black hole of stuff' known as my garage!

It's the right mirror. Not sure if they're identical or not. I would have to believe that the 2001 and 2002 should be the same type of mirrors.

I think I have one of those black holes myself!

The Mickey Mouse ears mirrors on the '99-'02(?) standard are the same
on both sides. I've broken many.

And if they're anything like the originals on my '01 are (were), I would
take
the loss of either one as a sign from the motorcycle gods to replace 'em
both
with upgraded alternatives. The ones Suzuki put on there originally seem to
really like to loosen up and require near-constant adjustment.

I sorta like them. I'm a little sick that way.

It's nothing that some Canadian air won't cure! :-)

When one of mine broke, I took it as a good sign to replace them. Very glad I did! I went with a set of Dale Walker's Holeshot mirrors. Very confidence-inspiring for my daily commuting...

Thanks for the replies all. Thinking about it, I think that the mirrors are the only thing that is still stock on my front end.

I haven't had any issue with them up until now. Somehow a mirror ending up in a wall doesn't count as being a design issue, but I could be wrong. :D

But if anyone has any economical suggestions for aftermarket please share.
