i like mine..ive played around with a few different mirrors and i still end up coming back to these. I guess im just stuck on the oem shape.


btw, the gsxr mirrors i have seen are not a direct bolt up to the f4i. Spacing is different i believe, and the screw is built into the mirror and goes through the fairing stay to a nut.*disclaimer* - i think...lol

hey z text me bought those mirrors, those wont be an easy fit at all, u cant get them into the 929 mounts. youd have to dril holes on the upper and the fairing stay and then replace the studs with longer ones in the mirrors.

Im wondering too... I remember a thread where you were putting superbright LEDs in them.. what do you think? I want them to be bright and very visible especially if I move to flushmounts over the stockers in front...

not very bright. Take em apart and put some new leds in, and aim them in the exact direction that is going to be in front of you.(the way you angle your mirrors to see behind you, perpendicular to the glass surface is where the leds point. so..about 6 feet inhead of you, further to the left or right.) So just bend the leads of th leds to point closer to the middle

I do not think they will work with the f4i's... Just like RR mirrors are not the same as f4i. The base angle is different.
