Default mirror options

if anybody is looking for a mirror set up similar to below that works on the klx250s/sf, the bikemaster folding bar end mirror P/N60-0300 works (just remove the bar end plugs)...and, the handlebar can be turned all the way left and right without it touching the side plastic...took few different mirror options to find one that worked and was solid......can be mounted above, but i mounted it the same way as pictured below and the rear view is perfect...

Looks good. Why do you have a steering damper (or whatever you call it) on your bike?

had couple high speed wobbles after hitting some deep groves and uneven pavement on the freeway..."tank slappers"...over 50 mile commute to work daily...high speed on the freeway...use the klx250sf as a daily commuter...haven't had anything close to a wobble since i've installed the steering damper....even this morning...i'm going 80 mph..i see on my right mirror, a car blasts atleast 100 mph to go around a van and didn't see me in front of the van....i did a stupid quick jerk to the left in a panic (wasn't thinking)...the handlebar straightened back smoothly...i'm pretty sure...if i didn't have the stabilizer, that would have been another scary "tank slapper"
