Does anyone know if there's a clutch bracket with a mirror mount that will fit on the gen 1 to allow me to fit mirrors on the handlebars.

I`m sure there was a guy on here that had fitted some of a Kawasaki GT750, anyone else remember?

PS. Why am I stuck at work for a 12 hour shift when the sun is shining? The weather gods hate me!

Sorry not a GT750 but a GT550.http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,2360.msg18426.html#msg18426.

Scroll down a bit on the link and there are some pictures.

I am going to have to get better at posting, I should have done all this in one post!

Thanks for the replies,i was looking at the mounts on the ebay but it looks like its a tight fit between the bars and the clutch bracket,how close did you manage to get yours to the clutch.

I have my mirrors attached to the clutch/brake mount. Its been a few years now but am sure I have a 600 fazer mk1 clutch mount on mine?

fz8 is the mount you want.... it is identical to the fzs 1000 clutch mount in every way except you can screw a mirror into it as well.

you can transplant the micro switch and metal detent thingy onto the fz8 one.... handlebar mirrors are the best mod i have done to my fazer imho

Will have a look online for an fz8 bracket its probably the neatest solution.

This is what I did. There's just enough room to fit, even on the standard OE bars.

I fitted one from a naked gen2 1000, it's identical other than the mirror mount, so a straight swap.

What are the advantages to puttig your mirrors on the bars instead of on the fairing?

blackcabbie · « **Reply #11 on:** 01 October 2013, 09:28:01 am »

its a personal thing.... you either prefer it or you dont

A great lookin bike fucked up by two Neanderthal gt550 crap lookin mirrors. I gotta say thats the main reason "I WONT BE RIDIN YOUR BIKE" :-)

machined a new pivot bolt for the clutch and got a set of fz6 ,i think, mirrors as they have the correct left and right hand threads, but im sure that the street triple ones also fit

kylron · « **Reply #14 on:** 01 October 2013, 04:04:15 pm »

Got a Price of £20.00 for an fz8 mount,tried barend mirrors and didn't like them.I have a streetfighter short screen and the original mirrors look odd with it.

blackcabbie · « **Reply #15 on:** 01 October 2013, 04:44:08 pm »

Think that's what I paid. Think I got mine from granbys

kylron · « **Reply #16 on:** 01 October 2013, 07:56:10 pm »

It was granny's I contacted,very helpful double checked it was the correct part I was after,should have it in the next few days.

kylron · « **Reply #17 on:** 01 October 2013, 08:01:13 pm »

Should have read granby's not granny's bloody touchscreens.

Been watching this thread with interest as i stupidly went down the cheap mirrors route & they are absolutely crap.
Just bit the bullet & got some genuine Yamaha XT660 mirrors for £40.

I may need a bracket though also as my original Female end on the brake lever is a bit mushed up.

The mount from the FZ8 works beautifully.

The OEM part number from the states is - 1B3-82911-00-00

Hmmm, like that set up. What mirrors are those?

stupidamerican · « **Reply #21 on:** 04 October 2013, 08:27:49 pm »

The mirrors are Rizoma Limit Naked or Limit Sport (they both look the same on their website and I can't remember which one I bought).

Anyway - great investment and work so much better than the fairing mount junk.

A few more pics - sorry for the thread hijack.

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #22 on:** 04 October 2013, 08:48:19 pm »

Just checked the price - Ouch!

stupidamerican · « **Reply #23 on:** 04 October 2013, 10:44:05 pm »

That's why I said "investment".

They are top notch and extremely adjustable.

mirdif64 · « **Reply #24 on:** 04 October 2013, 11:52:12 pm »

FZ 1 N (Gen II) would fit, try breakers to avoid stupid Yamaha prices.
Or try MT 09 if you want latest available !
