Aftermarket mirrors

Has anyone found mirrors that vibrate less than the stock mirrors on the S40/Savage? I would guess they would need to have a rubber bushing or a more flexible stalk.

My stock mirrors didn't vibrate badly at all, only if I took my hands of the bars at idle.
If you try aftermarket ones, make sure the glass is wide angle or they will show a lot more vibration than stock.

If you are a fan of JC Whitney, I noticed they offer a vibration reduction fitting that mounts between the mirror and handlebar. It would also add some height/length to the mirror's position.

And it really works nicely to bring the LH mirror up to the same level as the RH one when you have fairing and it becomes oblivious.

I've found some 3" diam bar end mirrors which I'm thinking of getting for KLX, does anyone have experience with these?
Thanks

Bar end mirrors are probably going to vibrate more. You have to have a pretty smooth ride for bar end mirrors.

gee I hate the savage mirrors....completely useless besides keeping cops from giving me fix-it tickets.  At any speed, even 0mph, I can't look into them without the pain sensors in my eyes killing me.  Hate with a passion.....
