Check a part number for the 10MM mirrors, see if they are the same.

You can probably get new mirrors from Suzuki but they will not have the 'S' on them. I bought some new TS250 ones a year or two ago, no S.

This whole thing is kinda weird.
My crossover book doesn't mention sizes but shows the R/H mirror for T500-II, -III and -R as 56500-19010 which was still a valid part number with no changeup as of 05/77.

56500-19600 is also a R/H mirror which fits a bunch of bikes.....but NOT any T500s at all.
That number changed up to -31010 and it NOW fits the T500J, K and L along with all the Triples from the same years. This part number was still current as of 05/77.

The 56500-31011 R/H mirror fits the GT500A and B along with the M/A/B Triples as well.

Somebody correct me here, but I thought all the Triples used 10mm stem/thread mirrors in all model years ??

It's about a 10 minute job to convert to 10mm. Just drill it out and re tap it. I had to do that on my GT750 as one of the mounts was 8mm and the other a 10mm. I reworked the 8 to a 10 and used a pair of 10mm mirrors.

Till 1974 they were 8 mm, then they switched to 10mm in 1975

The 8mm mirrors are still available from the dealer i use and they are 8mms shaft units with no 's'.
The rubber mounts i won off of ebay were nice 8mm units too so i got the mirrors and rubber mounts after a little searching.
