They just responded with an offer of £13.
I can't be arsed with all the haggling lark because i would've paid way more so £13 it is.

Keep us posted - I want full pictures side by side, exact comparison measurements, full funky chicken test, and vibration test, and then I might have a look at offering £12 so I can say I got them cheaper than you :pokefun

I'm struggling with this too. I'm 15 stone and fairly broad shouldered. Have a he'll of a job trying to get the mirrors in a position where I can see the road behind and not me/sky/who knows!!
The mirrors you guys bought on eBay are still available from the same seller so I'll give it a go!! Are there any modifications needed? Ie drilling or just a straight swap?
Cheers

They're not too well made, and i wasn't expecting them to last long to be honest, but they're still on the bike a year later surprisingly enough.
The rubber part is just a bit ill fitting, but i've kept them on simply because they give me about 40% more mirror to look at.
Basically you're getting what you pay for.

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!

You can buy them. The price takes some swallowing though, but they're SW Motech so they were never going to be cheap.

If you produce a decent engineering drawing of the spacers you should be able to 3d print these parts for a fraction of the cost.

Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - juperwort - 02-08-17
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...
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - savvy - 04-08-17
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
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - motodevcam - 13-08-17
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.

Don't know if it would work? I think they rely on rear windows reflection?
Re: Crap mirrors on '98 - Wilko83 - 13-09-17
Hi
Anyone fitted bar end mirrors? My fazer has no fairing and the mirrors are hopeless.
