Has anyone fitted different mirrors to 3TJ?

I thought about itand even got a pair of Gix750 mirrors to go on because they had a longer stem. Then other things happened anddidn't do it.
The Gix mirrors mounts are 2mm or so out of line - I was just going to file the holes out. http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo/5473 ... Two-Wheels" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A lot of aftermarket stuff is cheap in build quality and the designs try to hard to be different ending up looking gash. You need them to work with the bike.

My mate said he'd heard that ZXR mirrors fit so I thought i'd check on here 1st;) I guess we'll have to settle for a set of black o/e ones, the ones on there are white but starting to look tatty now:(

Measure the bolt spacing and the angle of the baseplate then you can get an idea of what fits.

I fitted r6/r1 mirrors to mine.
took the base plate off the original mickey mouse ears and then fitted the r6 mirror stems into it.
needed to file the mirror stem mounting hole a touch to fit but all good now. :)

they look pretty good and decent long stems on em too,
i got fzr1000 mirrors on mine (well the add said fzr400,600,750,1000 mirrors but there rounder than the 400 jobbies) i also had to make some spacers to fit between the mirror bracket and cockpit subframe so they don't pinch the fairing and without some major contortion all i can see in mine is me elbows :grin:
