Since I kind of half did the fuzzy mirror mod, the mirrors needed tightening. I've never really liked how cheap the mirrors looked anyway so....
I ordered some Venom Mirrors from the
KiWAV Store on eBay. The stem is about as long as OEM but the mirror body is a little smaller. It is CNC aluminum with aluminum connection joint for the ABS mirror housing. The glass is smaller and just as clear if not clearer than the stock mirrors.
I like the mirrors where they are so the ones I got were for a sportbike and came with fairing mounts. There are two different sized bolts that come with it, the short ones are barely too short so I had to use the longer ones.
I had to shave mount holes a bit to fit the narrower width between them on the FZ1. I guessed this when I placed the order due to the detailed measurements on the page so :noworries: They can be adjusted forward, back, up, and down. I think they still need some minor adjustments but looked okay from the riding position.
The mirrors are almost, but not quite, as wide as the gen2 bars with throttlemiesters. My only complaint so far is the three (yes, 3) different sized allen wrenches needed for the three different bolts on the mirror stem. You'd have to have two with you to make any major adjustments. On a longer ride, I didn't notice any vibrations but did miss the extra length of the OEM as I have to lift my arm to see directly behind me now. That wasn't unexpected with a smaller mirror plus I love the look, so I'll just keep lifting my arms. Also no more buffeting.
I had the phone camera zoomed in some of the pics and didn't realize it until I uploaded the pics.:shaking head:
