Crap mirrors on '98

[sinto]

I can't be the only one with this problem, can I ??

No, your probably not but you asked about those certain mirrors  and I merely suggested you actually contact them and ask the questions and I also stated that it would be slim that anyone on here bought from that particular seller.
I don't have the problem of not seeing behind me, I was only trying to help you.

I was only trying to help you.

And you did

[flakey]

i have the very same issue that is i cant see behind me when riding etc, angled extension brackets off of the fairing would be great, havent yet seen any about and havent figured out how to make some nice ones, your not on your own

The mirrors on my 98  Fazer are wonderful compared to the ones I had on my 09 versys

I swapped with FZS1000 mirrors, no more funky chicken!! Only issue is they vibrate at 90MPH but that stops over 95MPH! (Only on the track of course!)

Hi all, fed up of looking at my shoulders in the mirror, any suggestions on how to make a couple of spacers, or does anyone have a set of '01 mirrors to sell? Cheers

I was waiting to see if anyone would suggest the 02/03 foxeye mirrors as thought it was a pretty popular mod for the boxeye..

[flakey]

I have just bought some from ebay 152130239199 they were up for £14.50 buy it now or best offer, I offered £10 and got myself a pair of brand new mirrors delivered fast and fit perfect, they are about 50mm wider than the original boxeye mirrors, and they don't 'stick up' like the foxeye mirrors do, pictures should help you. i'm well chuffed with mine

[darrsi]

Nice one flakey, even at £14.50 they're a bargain, but i've just offered £10 as well, see what happens. 

[flakey]

they wont reply to your offer now, they dont work weekends, reply will come through early monday morning

[misterjayb1]

Looking good and a steal too... Agreed the foxeye mirrors work great but something doesnt look quite right once fitted to the boxeye imo.. Apologies in advance to anyone who has them fitted 

[darrsi]

Were they from Guernsey or Hong Kong?

[flakey]

there from Guernsey


i'm also not keen on the genuine foxeye mirrors sticking out above the screen, now these are not genuine and there a slightly different shape to the originals, much sqaure'er just like the boxeye headlights, i'm proper happy with mine,

now just clear indicator lenses and black handle bars and it'l be almost perfect

[snake0tuffty]

got these on mine they are ace fully adjustable can see everything well worth the money and wait

You have nothing, other than 10 minutes of time, to lose by trying this. It may save you a fortune on new mirrors.

It sits a wee bit taller bit more upright tbh but not to my liking tbh

Surly sitting more upright would make it worse - it needs to be sitting more at an angle to stick out more and not more upright
Need more beer

Yep, well it didn't work for me!
Just normal position works fine for me, maybe I'm just lucky

Right --- I tried the swap over the OEM mirrors hack and it didnt work as I could not get the now left mirror on the right side to twist to anything like a position that to see out of, the ball socket just don't twist that way, the swap over sides "hack" must be for the foxeye or somthing

Nice one flakey, even at £14.50 they're a bargain, but i've just offered £10 as well, see what happens. 

They just responded with an offer of £13.
I can't be arsed with all the haggling lark because i would've paid way more so £13 it is.

Keep us posted - I want full pictures side by side, exact comparison measurements, full funky chicken test, and vibration test, and then I might have a look at offering £12 so I can say I got them cheaper than you

I'm struggling with this too. I'm 15 stone and fairly broad shouldered. Have a he'll of a job trying to get the mirrors in a position where I can see the road behind and not me/sky/who knows!!

The mirrors you guys bought on eBay are still available from the same seller so I'll give it a go!! Are there any modifications needed? Ie drilling or just a straight swap?

Cheers

They're not too well made, and i wasn't expecting them to last long to be honest, but they're still on the bike a year later surprisingly enough.
The rubber part is just a bit ill fitting, but i've kept them on simply because they give me about 40% more mirror to look at.
Basically you're getting what you pay for.

I’m tempted, but half the riding I do is at night and being able to cut out the glare of the trillion-candlepower headlights behind with my elbows is a massive benefit of crap mirrors!

They should make them with that flip up thing that car rear-view mirrors have

[tommyardin]

  Surely if you loose your left mirror, your right mirror will be left?
 

Thats right

That's like saying 'My hairdresser dosn't cut hair any longer'

 You can buy them. The price takes some swallowing though, but they're SW Motech so they were never going to be cheap.

If you produce a decent engineering drawing of the spacers you should be able to 3d print these parts for a fraction of the cost.

my mirrors give awful reflections
i walk in the bathroom - i look awful 
i have a coffee and walk past the hallway - i still look awful
but on the bike i just look over my shoulders and ride faster than everyone else
