Choosing mirrors you need to consider if they will make it through SVA, so radius's and visibility through them. Some people have passed with various superbike wing mirrors. Also CBS do a reasonable selection of mirrors here

As for spring rates cant really help you, but others will need various info like engine choice etc to be able to advise properly

just had a look gaz aren't bad martin fitted them to the original indy problem is they are steel bodied ( f***ing heavy compared to the alloy bodied protechs) also noticed that they are 2 different lenghts in the ad and I don't think the price includes Vat Snoopy if you are reading this what is the lenght of the danpers on the indy

Hi.

Hein Gericke is a good place to get some mirrors from, they do a really nice black set that are a very nice shape for the GSXR 750. Contact the Peterborough shop located on Lincoln Rd and talk to the manager he should be able to help.

A good start for the springs is 300 lbs on the front and 200 lbs on the rear. However this is a very large can of worms and every one has different views. If it is fast road use this set up seems to work pretty well with ztec, pinto etc.

Regards
Grant.
