Motorbike: Suzuki Bandit 600 k4
Default Mirror advice

Hey guys,

Recently bought a Bandit 600 k4 but didn't have any mirrors on it. Done a few searches here and some say stay away from ebay, cheap ones etc.
Saw these online:

What do ye reckon about the black or carbon? You can also get dampers to reduce vibration but is this really necessary or has anyone experienced it?

Thanks for any help guys, cheers.

Go with the black ones, carbon look look ones are cheap looking up close, vibrations aren't really a problem.

LOUIS products are from Germany & are reasonably good quality...

are great to deal with, I use them regularly without any issues & their P&P charges are reasonable.

Hope this helps.

I bought cheap mirrors for my K2 Bandit in Bikeworld and they were a bit of a disaster. The vibrations were unreal and lights from traffic behind me looked like a Christmas tree. I'd get the dampers too to reduce vibration.
