Here's a way to cut down or eliminate mirror vibration. 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.

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]

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.

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

Has anyone other than me noticed that the left mirror consistantly vibrates
much more than the right? (Maybe it's just loose.)
