    Hey Dave,

    Come on back!

    Can't say I'm real familiar with areas SW of Madison, but New Glarus is an interesting town if you like a bit of Old World atmosphere. I know people that live in Belleville that like the town, and my wife's family lived in Monroe at one point.

    Not sure about work in that area though, depending on what you plan to do.

    I grew up in Madison and lived in the Chicago suburbs for 20 years, moving back to this area about 5 years ago. I wish I had more time to ride, but I'm right on the edge of city/country so it only takes a minute to be on the backroads.

    Housing in that area will sure be quite a bit less expensive than what you are used to, that's for sure.

    Best of luck.

    Hey, Jay. Thanks for the invitation to move to Wisconsin. It'll be a bit easier as I can stay at my ex-wife's while looking for a place of my own. I want to live somewhere to the southwest of Madison. Any recommendations?

    Hey Kyle,

    They have a different shape that takes some getting used to, but I think they give a pretty good view. It's been a while since I had the stock ones on, so I don't recall exactly how they were. I think they are more outboard than the originals.

    They mount just the same as the stock ones.

    hey Jay, I was wondering how you like the Z1000 mirrors?
    the stock ones suck, and i definitely need new ones.
    can you see completely out of the z1000 mirrors?
    also do they just bolt in like the stock ones?
    thanks man, Kyle

    The mirrors are from a 2008 Kawasaki Z1000.

    Here's a close-up -



    Note that they made a mid-year change to the mirrors. Mine came in 2 different versions - one with a black base and the other with a chrome base with a black rubber cover. If you buy them online you need to be careful you don't get one of each. It's possible the latest Z1000 may have the same mirrors, but I'm not positive.

    Hey,

    Hope you don't mind me asking, what mirrors do you have on the picture of the Red SV that you use as your Avatar?

    I'd like to get some new mirrors and the ones you have caught my eye, do you have anymore pictures with the mirror by chance? A link to the make and model would be great also.

    Thanks, hope to hear from you soon.

    That was just a photo I ran across online. I think it's just something that someone came up with. Pretty neat, but i don't think you can buy one anywhere.

    I don't recall any web-address info, but there wasn't much - just the photo.

    Sorry.

    EDIT - photo added -
