After spending some time in Kansas City resolving some family issues, (and not being able to ride my bike during that time),
we came home, and I had a tooth go bad, needing a root canal, the dentist put me on antibiotics and pain meds.

It got worse at work on tuesday, the wife took me home. leaving my bike at work.
that afternoon, my wife decided she was going to ride it home, (she has her endorsement, but has not ridden in at least 5 years, and has never driven anything bigger than a 750.) the other option was some of her co workers who had driven 4 wheelers, but no experience with a clutch, or highway driving.

I only live 1.5 miles from work, and it is backroads, she did well until she went to make the turn into the subdivision.
It is a climbing right u-turn, she was in 2nd gear, the bike stalled and she tipped over.

She tried to bail off, but as they used to say in Get Smart, "Missed it by that much..."

Good news, she is essentially ok, (hyper extended pinkie on right hand and a cracked rib.) but luckily nothing more.

Bike damage? right mirror and mount.

It could have been worse. but thank goodness it wasn't.

So, I asked the local dealer about replacement parts, he had none, and suggested kawasaki directly,
so I am turning here first in case anyone has some old parts left over from an upgrade or trashed bike.

The mount that doubles as the mirror mount/front brake reservoir mount broke, but just the mirror mount part. I may be able to jb weld it, but would like a replacement

Here is a shot of the left mount for reference. it looks like it can fit either left or right side

Here is front & rear views of the left mirror, does anyone here have any of these parts for sale?
I have looked at replacement mirrors but i like the look of these, also most aftermarket mirrors i have seen are smaller & more for looks than functionality.


Any help in locating replacement parts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.
