I got a pair of the cheap ebay FZS1000 mirrors on the boxeye, and they are alot better visibility wise. They do shake a bit, but at least you can see beyond elbows. I has to run a M6 die down the thread as its wasn't quite right, by hand as the studs are close together.

ebay seller was xmotor-2008   

Left hand one collects rain when your're parked as i have found out these last couple of weeks...

Just got a set off Ebay seller 2015**** offered £12.00, they came back with £14.00 so offered £13.50, just to throw it back and they accepted so waiting now. Let you all know what I think. Mine were just scraped when I got the bike possibly through getting down the side of houses? :lol

New mirrors fitted! £14 from the same seller. Fitting dead easy, need to tighten the pivot bolts a little as they are a bit floppy lol I know they're a wee bit big but I can now see behind me. I did think about bar end mirrors? Not sure if id still have the same problem? New cockpit view attached. :)

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


Don't know if it would work? I think they rely on rear windows reflection?

Hi

Anyone fitted bar end mirrors? My fazer has no fairing and the mirrors are hopeless.
