I've heard a lot of folks complaining about the KLR's mirrors
vibrating too much. There is an OEM version of the KLR mirrors that
comes with damping (Part# 56001-1223 MIRROR-ASSY W/DAMPING-SHORT).
You may want to try it.

But for $4.49 each ( Right hand thread only, sorry Yamaha right side)

Seems like a fairly inexpensive fix to me, anybody actually use these
yet ?
I have'nt gotten to the point about caring about the buzz yet.

I bought them, and they aren't worth the money. Now my mirrors vibrate
less, but all the time.

I tried them and they are garbage IMO. On a trip to
Jackson MS, I reached up to adjust my left mirror and
the rubber insert came out of the base leaving the
entire mirror assembly in my hand doing 75mph. When
they did work, the buzz was still there but a lower
frequency.
YMMV,

IMHO, the best option for minimizing the buzz is to purchase the Honda XRL mirrors. These have the anti-vibration dampending doodads built into them. The mirrors are pricey at $75 ( I think that is what I paid) for the pair, but work awesome and hard very sturdy units.
I slammed my KLR down on the pavement and snapped the mounting assembly apart on the left hand grip, the mirror went flying down the road, but is intact and back on the bike, albeit with a new mounting assembly and a few war wounds. Sturdy units!

One lister mounted some of these to come to Moab for our gatherings a few
years ago. These dampers fell apart on this one trip. He removed them and
went to the Honda mirrors and was very pleased with the way these mirrors
performed.
