clutch/mirror bracket

[kylron]

Does anyone know if there's a clutch bracket with a mirror mount that will fit on the gen 1 to allow me to fit mirrors on the handlebars.

I`m sure there was a guy on here that had fitted some of a Kawasaki GT750, anyone else remember?


PS. Why am I stuck at work for a 12 hour shift when the sun is shining? The weather gods hate me!

Sorry not a GT750 but a GT550.http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,2360....#msg18426.

Scroll down a bit on the link and there are some pictures.


I am going to have to get better at posting, I should have done all this in one post!

Thanks for the replies,i was looking at the mounts on the ebay but it looks like its a tight fit between the bars and the clutch bracket,how close did you manage to get yours to the clutch.

I have my mirrors attached to the clutch/brake mount. Its been a few years now but am sure I have a 600 fazer mk1 clutch mount on mine?

fz8 is the mount you want.... it is identical to the fzs 1000 clutch mount in every way except you can  screw a mirror into it as well.


you can transplant the micro switch and metal detent thingy onto the fz8 one.... handlebar mirrors are the best mod i have done to my fazer imho

[kylron]

Will have a look online for an fz8 bracket its probably the neatest solution.

This is what I did. There's just enough room to fit, even on the standard OE bars.

I fitted one from a naked gen2 1000,  it's identical other than the mirror mount, so a straight swap.

What are the advantages to puttig your mirrors on the bars instead of on the fairing?

[blackcabbie]

its a personal thing.... you either prefer it or you dont  :lol

A great lookin bike fucked up by two Neanderthal gt550 crap lookin mirrors. I gotta say thats the main reason "I WONT BE RIDIN YOUR BIKE" :-)

machined a new pivot bolt for the clutch and got a set of fz6 ,i think, mirrors as they have the correct left and right hand threads, but im sure that the street triple ones also fit

[kylron]

Got a Price of £20.00 for an fz8 mount,tried barend mirrors and didn't like them.I have a streetfighter short screen and the original mirrors look odd with it.

[blackcabbie]

Think that's what I paid. Think I got mine from granbys

[kylron]

It was granny's I contacted,very helpful double checked it was the correct part I was after,should have it in the next few days.

[kylron]

Should have read granby's not granny's bloody touchscreens.

Been watching this thread with interest as i stupidly went down the cheap mirrors route & they are absolutely crap.
Just bit the bullet & got some genuine  Yamaha XT660 mirrors for £40.

I may need a bracket though also as my original Female end on the brake lever is a bit mushed up.

The mount from the FZ8 works beautifully.

The OEM part number from the states is - 1B3-82911-00-00
