Why not just fit FZS600 Foxeye / FZS1000 mirrors? Which have a much longer stem to give you decent visibility behind, and they quickly fold in - perfect for tight filtering and squeezing into motorcycle bays chock full of scooters. Or quickly pop back out when used as whiskers on tight gaps... ;-)

Just avoid the pattern one - they invariable don't fold! Albeit £80 each if you buy new!!!

I was in the understanding that the R1 ones were the same as those.

Mine look slightly different, stem is painted steel for start. Mirror shape is closer to your old BoxEye FZS600 mirrors. Stem possible bit longer too, but I may be imagining when looking at your photos and haven't actually measured!

Here is a trace of the shape on each, its only a small difference but makes a big difference on the bike.
the stem measures as the picture so whgen measuring the stem its tricky for every one to measure from the same area, where it connects to to bike to the plastic mirror or from the nut to the elbow joint - so many different places to measure and say "my stem is----"
