The FZS1000 shares the same mirrors as the Foxeye 600 and they will fit the Boxeye 600 as well - I've done this before as I prefer the look and they actually function as mirrors instead of angel / devil shoulder detectors...
On buying mirrors for gen 1 thou, and if the same, Foxeye 600 - most of the pattern ones are shite. The fold in pivot quickly loosens and then will fold in whenever you get up to any speed. Genuine Yam ones will of course be silly money. Best to buy good condition 2nd hand ones if you can, or if anybody on here can recommend good quality pattern - I've yet to see any as most firms sell ones that are all made in the same factory.
These genuine part prices are disgraceful, but I guess it might be Yamaha's way of saying "go buy a new Yamaha"! We had a giggle at one of the bike shops where I used to work by pricing up what it would cost to build an NR750 Honda from new genuine parts - it was a long while ago now, so I don't remember the exact figure but I think it came to somewhere near £200 g's! Wonder what it would be for a Fazer?
No Noggy, you should be ok - I mean copies of the original mirrors

All good now. Blagged a brand new FZS1000 mirror off ebay for £16. Sorted.
