GSXR Mirror Adapters
GSX-R Mirror Adapters
put GSXR's mirrors with turnsignals on your SV
benefits:
adapters to make it fit:
state of project: ready to manufacturing
+++News+++
-another fabricator agreed to give me a cost estimate
-had a phone call with the fabricator, first set is on its way
-made a new rendering to give you a better idea of what the assembly will look like
-just ordered the first set for me. i want to make sure it works as expected before giving it to anybody else.
-received a cost estimate from a fabricator
Models / Years
where does this fit?
("KX+" means model year 200X or newer)
GSX-R 1000 K5+
...thats when GSXRs first got mirrors with turn signals
i got mine off a wrecked GSX-R 750 K7
parts from later models seem to be identical, but i can't guarantee as i can't try them all
also there are a lot of aftermarket replicas on ebay which might have slight differences
so you might have to make minor modifications to the mirror base
Materials
Pricing
first rough cost estimate is 100€
its "rough" because the fabricators offer didnt include the bolts, so i rounded it up a bit.
i ordered the first set at this price, but maybe i can find somebody who does it a little cheaper.

GSX-R Mirror Adapters
put GSXR's mirrors with turnsignals on your SV
benefits:
- get rid of those ugly stock turn signals
- avoid using aftermarket mini signals (often bad visibility)
- even better turn signal visibility than stock
- adjustable mirror glass
- give your SV that GSXR-touch
- the adapters act as mild (16mm) mirror spacers,
which is less than what pure mirror spacers usually do,
but still improves rear sight without giving your bike that bunny-ear-look
- bolts don't fit
- mirror base has completely different angle
(mounting the base flush would make the mirror arms point downwards)
