Mirrors for Foxeye - Arfa - 23-09-13
Am I correct in saying the mirrors fir square eye and foxeye models are different? Which other models share the same model mirrors as the foxeye? 1000?
Otherwise, anyone replaced the bolt where the mirror hinges? It's not your usual nut and bolt, looks like a specialised rivet. Mines snapped.

I think the only difference between box and fox mirrors is the stem length- longer on foxeye!

i have a pair of boxeye mirrors for sale....look in the for sale section under BREAKING 600 FAZER started by CHRISTO

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...

Hey - they're useful! That bugger on the left needs a close eye kept on him! :lol

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.

I expect them to last about 30 minutes before breaking up like a shuttle on re entry :b , look good on photos though!
Re: Mirrors for Foxeye - nick crisp - 23-09-13
No Noggy, you should be ok - I mean copies of the original mirrors
Re: Mirrors for Foxeye - Arfa - 23-09-13
Was checking out some super cheap ass ones from Hong Kong on ebay £12.50 a pair delivered! But it seems they don't even fold in at all! Yeah genuine ones seem be around £70-80 each.

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?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that a brand new Fireblade was worth about 3 times a much in spare parts as its list price! :eek
Re: Mirrors for Foxeye - nick crisp - 23-09-13
"Costs" about 3 times as much. Then when you're done putting it together, it's "worth" no more than a new Blade from the showroom!
Oh, by the way Arfa, Yamaha only do the mirrors complete, they don't sell the bolt separately. :grumble
Re: Mirrors for Foxeye - Dead Eye - 24-09-13
Agree with nick on this - cheap mirrors fall very firmly into the "buy cheap, buy twice" category. However, my £15 delivered ones are holding up ok even though I stripped the thread on one of the mounting bolts 5 minutes after owning them :rolleyes

"Should". That's a get out clause, right? I mean, not that you could possibly break them or anything... :lol
