I currius. Is there any specific CBR year modell that will bolt straight on? Or do i have to find someone that fits the FJ base..?

$18 incl. postage a pair (to Aus). Look great, glazing not terrific but you don't notice when riding, don't vibrate, I can see behind me for the first time withOUT rocking my body side to side and all I had to do was elongate the holes a little in the base that came with the mirrors.
I'm very happy with them and see no need to upgrade them for better quality ones.



CBR600/1000RR '03 - '10. I'm sure about the model but you had better double check the year, it's on here somewhere. I can give you the seller details if you want.

Those mirrors were really cheap..  :yes:

They even went right under Norways custom value limit too, so no import fee or sales taxes added :-)
Belive me, i have paid a lot during the last couple of months.

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

These? They'll fit an '86? No negatives about them, no vibration/fall apart/fitment problems?

Slight fitment issue, but easy to solve: http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=1562.msg34868#msg34868

The angle of the fairing where the mirrors mount on the 86/87 is different on the 89' and up FJs.

The mirrors on my 86' are still a little buzzy at speed, I am thinking of drilling a hole and filling them with silicone. The added weight should dampen out some of the vibrations.

Read back a page and see that you will also need to grind a little off the OEM bases for the mirror stalk to fit.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Oh, these are the same mirrors you have, monkey? I assumed you and Noel were referring to different options. I've heard of drilling and putting silicon, but I can never imagine where you would be drilling... If it's just in the base, it seems like it would be an inconsequential amount, but wherever it is, I guess it works if people do it. Would love to hear how it goes for you if you do so.
