Possible someone fitted the R1 mirrors to it before you bought it.
They have shorter stems than the fazer ones but look identical other than that

Hey guys, I'd like to change my fazer's mirrors as well and wondered if these would fit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replacement-Mirrors-Left-Right-Pair-for-Yamaha-YZF-R1-07-08-/331854222184?hash=item4d440d9368:g:sp8AAOSwl-FXNFfE

I came up with this idea a while ago, the inside would be sculptured and marry up with the back of the oem and be glued/velcro in position.
Fit a set of these and job done :lol

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

I don't have the problem of not seeing behind me, I was only trying to help you.

Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - flakey - 29-06-16
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
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - GH600 - 29-06-16
The mirrors on my 98 Fazer are wonderful compared to the ones I had on my 09 versys
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - gregwillclark - 19-07-16
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!)

Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - misterjayb1 - 27-07-16
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..
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - flakey - 30-07-16
[size=1.45em]I have just bought some from ebay [color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]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[/color][/size] :lol
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - darrsi - 30-07-16
Nice one flakey, even at £14.50 they're a bargain, but i've just offered £10 as well, see what happens. :thumbup
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - flakey - 30-07-16
they wont reply to your offer now, they dont work weekends, reply will come through early monday morning
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - misterjayb1 - 30-07-16
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

Were they from Guernsey or Hong Kong?
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - flakey - 30-07-16
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
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - snake0tuffty - 30-07-16

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

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
