Along with replacements for the fender reflector bolts I received new clamps for both clutch and master cylinder.
Got the bulk of the mirror ?bung? cut off. Will check the look with them flat tomorrow, might need to be rounded.
There has to be another half clamp we could buy that doesn't have the mirror bung. Just need to find a bike that doesn't have mirror mounted to the handlebars? It wouldn't even have to be a suzuki necessarily.
Not too expensive, wish I'd seen those before diving into this. You'd think I would have since I did search clamps on ebay. Will soldier on though and I'm sure I'll be the only one who will notice they aren't perfect.
Edit: did just notice that the brake clamp is 19.6mm wide and clutch 21.65mm. Slight difference I know but worth note.
I just put some nice plugs in the mirror holes that I had shipped from Australia so I'm not to anxious but if anyone finds a half clamp that works, please let the rest of us know.
They were like $16 shipped and it took about a week for me to get them, shipping from Australia to the US. I don't know why nobody in the US sells these. I could really find anything anyway. The look nice and fit perfectly.
Got this wrapped up and finally snapped pics. Again not perfect but I like it better. THEN today my dumb*** noticed the brake master cylinder clamp on my wife's 85 rebel... I didn't remove it from the rebel to verify but it looks like a good match. 10.95 a pop on bikebandit.com
Here is the Suzuki part number for the master cylinder bar mount clamp for a 1st gen SV650S. I have this bik, and this bar clamp works on both sides to delete the mirror mounts. Part number is suzuki/59671-36500/-holder-black.
I just modified my mirror mounts today, not 100% finished but ran out of time, when I get some more time I will try and pefect them.
I changed to CRG bar end mirrors - much better vision - slightly convex and no elbows in the way.
Used an 4" angle grinder to cut off the protruding part and a bench grinder to shape it a bit, next week a file and emery cloth to get it better but happy so far
Here's a thread about the non-mirror stud version of the clamps. I replaced mine (Part # 59671-01H00 from Partzilla) They worked out great and look much cleaner. BYW, I didn't have to bore out any holes. They just worked on both sides - on my bike.

Thank you
You said the same part works on both sides ? The pieces I got fit the brake side but not the clutch side. The clutch side hole spacing is a whisker wider.
Sorry, I was a little slow on the update, but I added a link with pictures of mine. I don't remember any problem with fit on either side, and I definitely didn't do any drilling to get it to fit, but the OP in the thread I linked mentions having to bore out the hole a little. I don't know why mine "just worked", but they did. I guess I just got lucky.
Better to be lucky then good lol
I bought two and the brake side is set and I will oblong the hole on the other tomorrow and that should work.
Thank you for your help

A few weeks ago, in one of the aftermarket mirror threads, a member posted about a bar clamp from a different model to get rid of the useless stock mirror posts. Part # 59671-01H00, that would work on the GSXS. It was just one quick post, but I thought "interesting" and followed up on it. Even...
It was weird with mine as the brake side and the clutch side hole spacing was different. I need to dremal out the clutch side a 1/32” or so.
But done and looks clean
I bought a set using part number for my 2016 Bandit; to use on my GSX. Fit perfect on GSX.
