Post by balls »

Just fitted some ,Bloody hell I can see whats behind me for the first time without pulling my shoulders in.
Just put the right one one first so I could compare them with the originals
I can see 100% better

Drilled out the yamaha pins and opened up the holes to take the firestorm bolt then packed them out with washers fit a treat .
Cut part of the yam boot to tidy up around the fitting.
You dont realise how bad the storm ones are until you replace them , The storm ones r almost dangerous there so bad

bars touching mirrors

Post by bikerpiker »

More info please :)
Im really interested,cos since fitting risers n superbike bars my grips/levers touch the mirrors just before full lock.
To make things worse bike is due an MOT next week.
Thought about buying those mirror extenders on ebay usa,which ,i think move them out around 1 1/4", and hopefull,due to the angle, raise them as well,can anybody confirm. :?:
Failling that a bar end mirror :?:

I'm on my third set of the same ones as Mike and Patty, stems are quite weak.
And they vibrate more than the standard ones. But yes, you can see fine past your elbows, and the look fine.
Matches the carbon cans, front mudguard and helmet.
Bloody style icon, me!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
