Carbon mirrors for GSXR

[Nigel_O]

I have a Westfield kit car, which I've recently learned uses mirrors from a Suzuki TL1000R (also the same as several GSXR models, I believe). However, they are plain black plastic and I appear to have developed a bit of a fetish for carbon bits on the Westie.

Googling comes up with loads of carbon effect mirrors, but almost nothing in genuine carbon.

I thought I'd pop in here and ask to see if anyone knows of anything that might suit. the mirrors will need to be the fairing-mount type, rather than handlebar mount - my Westie just has the fibreglass aeroscreen, rather than the proper windscreen.

Any suggestions?

Welcome - sadly real carbon isn’t allowed on Suzukis, they have to have hydrodipped or carbon effect plastic by law...

Honestly though, you rarely see carbon mirror housings on bikes - I can’t think of any off the top of my head. Lots of aftermarket ones are aluminium/alloy of some sort.
