Use stick-on wheel balancing weight(s) mounted on the back of the mirror, about 3/4" from the rim of the mirror. Duct tape covering the weight(s) should be used, as the weights may eventually fall off. It takes a bit of trial and error to determine how much weight should be used. I found that a weight from 1" - 1/2" long worked well. I have used this solution successfully on many bikes. I prefer this method because I have had mixed results buying other mirrors that were supposed to reduce or eliminate mirror vibration. Handlebar anti-vibration weights that mount on each end of the handlebar may help reduce the mirror vibration, just be sure to buy the proper size to fit in the handlebar ends.

[b]I sell lots of the Honda mirrors that have the vibration dampers built in.  I have just become a dealer for Barsnake.  These install inside your handlebars and really work well. They come in sizes to fit steel or aluminum handlebars and a liquid version for the Protaper type handlebars.  I have all of these in stock and they sell for $22.95 to $39.95[/b] [b][/b]  [b]http://www.barsnake.com/[/b] [b]Fred www.arrowheadmotorsports.com[/b]

The only successful method I have heard of is to replace the mirrors with Honda XR650L mirrors. I guess the Honda mirrors have dampers built in. joe -----Original Message----- From: Enlow, Kyle S [SMTP:kenlow@...] Sent: Monday, October 02, 2000 6:40 AM To: Dsn_Klr650 (E-mail) Subject: [DSN_klr650] Mirror Vibration Does anyone have any ideas how to fix mirror vibration on the KLR?

Do they mount in the same place as the OEM mirrors?

Some time back there was a lister that suggested....pulling in the clutch! It works & will work as a short term solution until you find an after-market fix. All best Scott A14 "thunderdog"
