bar mounted mirror Q - tommyteeman - 17-11-12 going to put a set of bar mounted mirrors on and was wondering what others have done. The right hand looks simple enough using the mount already there, is that reverse thread in there ? Left side was thinking one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bike-Universal-Motorcycle-Mirror-Mounting-Bracket-Suit-22mm-Bar-10mm-Thread-/310475330568?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4849c59408 which I assume will be normal/right hand thread. Now then.....If I buy a set of yamaha mirrors will they both be left hand thread, both right hand or one of each ?  :'( :lol any help welcome........ Re: bar mounted mirror Q - MadDogMcQ - 17-11-12 But why? Re: bar mounted mirror Q - Pat - 18-11-12 I got a clutch perch from a gen 2 naked, that has the mirror mount built into it, I then also got a set of std gen2 naked black (they also come in chrome) mirrors. The RH side mount is reverse threaded thread & the LH side is normal, you can get adapters to fit normal mirrors eg: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10mm-to-10mm-Yamaha-Mirror-Reverse-Thread-Adapter-x2-/360387640305 Just pasting that as an example of the item, it was the first link that came up, certainly not recommending them, particularly when the listing states: [size=1.45em]PLEASE Don't expect / assume this is a Quality Item, Buy OEM item if you want to get quality product.[/size]    :lol :lol :lol As for why?  They're far better than the std gen1 mirrors, I can actually see clearly what's behind me now without having to shift my body out of the way & I think it looks better too. Re: bar mounted mirror Q - keithfzs1000 - 18-11-12 in agrreement the oem are a poor mirror for rear view  :\ :\ , i have mounted some on the bars and its a lot better  , got some mirror blanks for the fairing, and a mount for the left mirror and yes the right is a reverse thread Re: bar mounted mirror Q - samsung - 18-11-12 I bought a pair of cnc billet bar end mirrors from rideitmoto.com.£50ish posted from the states.When fitted the mirrors don't protrude to far out from the end of the bars.There are photo's of mirrors fitted to fazers on the site.Vision to the rear is excellent,with no fuzzy vibration of what may be coming behind. Re: bar mounted mirror Q - tommyteeman - 18-11-12 i just think the std mirrors are pretty bad, tried the muzzy(?)mod but it just looks wierd, had bar end mirrors which have been the best so far, so its down to the bar mounted now, had them on other bikes and been spot on so hopefully they'll be the same on the fazer. Thx for the info Re: bar mounted mirror Q - garysimmo - 18-11-12 I did the mirror mod and the difference in my opinion was night and day much much better, ordered the fairing blanks from china, about £4 the clamp on mirror adaptor and the converter to normal thread for r/h was about £10 for both then the choice of mirrors is up to you Re: bar mounted mirror Q - t140 - 19-11-12 When i done mine i machined a new clutch bolt/pivot to include a mount, if you want i will post a pic of it, it looks like a standard mount. Re: bar mounted mirror Q - justy1 - 19-11-12 think i used an fz1n clutch lever braket/mount on mine. justy1000 Re: bar mounted mirror Q - Kosmic Kartman - 19-11-12 Looks like the same mount that I used. I have in the past tried the reverse flip standard mirror mod but IMO it looked really crap and out of place. Re: bar mounted mirror Q - JayB - 29-11-12 Was thinking about this too, with something like Ducati or Triumph Speed Triple mirrors. Does a Gen 2 clutch lever mount let you use original lever? Re: bar mounted mirror Q - Pat - 29-11-12 Yes, one of the reasons I went for it was because I'd recently bought a set of Titax levers & didn't want to have to fork out another £60 for a new clutch one to fit a different perch!
