drilling out the carb. slide

[jamackinlay]

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. Jose (A12)

But for $4.49 each ( Right hand thread only, sorry Yamaha right side) http://www.jcwhitney.com/productnoitem.jhtml?CATID=70267&BQ=mot 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. Duden A15 Pilot (Frozen in)

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

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, John --- dooden wrote:

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! I picked mine up from Fred at: http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com Scott Redondo Beach, CA A15 http://www.dualsportriding.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

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. Like most things in life---- "You get what you pay for".
