Has anyone found any aftermarket mirrors, or mirrors off of another bike that can replace these?

I have these mirrors on my bike

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzuki-G ... 240%3A1318


They work as intended but the quality of the build isn't the best.

They have rubber boots that fit over the bracket that fastens to the fairings and it tends to slip out of place at times.. I guess it could be fixed with a glue gun or something, but I didn't want to do that in case it needed to be tightened or removed.

Also they don't offer much better line of sight either.. only slightly better then stock.. but they look much nicer.

Thanks for the replies. I am looking for something more sporty, someone said hayabusa mirrors will fit. I will have to look into that.

I think the mirrors would look better if they were situated a bit lower.

One simple solution is to flip the stock mirrors upside down. This pushes them lower and further out. I did this and it made for better rearward vision and got rid of that "scooter" look.
