ok, so the p.o. dropped the poor bike on it's right side and broke the mirror off... they put one on the handlebars and I hate it... I really would like to get my hands on the right one. So let me know if you have one and what you want for it... thanks!!!

You can get $24.US a pair aftermarket mirrors from https://www.partsnmore.com/cat_index.php?model=gl1000-1100&category=chassis , same ones as used on the GL1100. They are poor imitations of the originals though, they vibrate more and have flat mirrors instead of the stock wider view glass. Outwardly, as far as I see, they look identical so beware of buying an "original" as many sellers would not know for sure which ones they have.
edit: changed GL1000 to GL1100, the 1000 didn't have a factory fairing, thanks Wayne

The GL650 fairing mirrors are slightly different than the GL500 fairing mirrors, but 500's will fit on and look fine, if you get the pair. Mostly, the mounting base and "base gasket" has a larger footprint on the 650's. The arm shape is slightly different too. Mounting screw geometry is the same though. OEM mirrors from 500 or 650 will be considerably better than aftermarket versions in both field of vision and vibration.

Having had a set of aftermarkets, I would not recommend them. Lots of vibration. Try to find originals, but be advised they are rare, especially for the 650 as they are unique.

Yes thats true. Mismatches with different fields of view and also some repros are tinted just doesn't work well.

FYI,
The GL500, 650 and 1100 Interstates all have the exact same fairings and the exact same mirrors mounted on the fairing.

"FYI,

They are interchangable and similiar looking, but are not exactly the same. I have both 500 and 650 mirrors and have compared them. If you install one 500 mirror, and one 650 mirror, the difference will be visible, but only if you look close, or are looking for it. The average person would probably not notice. I don't know about the GW1100 though.

Thanks, Rich, I never noticed that. I shouldn't have used the term "exact". But as you mentioned, they all will bolt onto the fairing just fine and look OK to most, including the Goldwing GL1100 mirrors from the era.
