they look a lot shorter than the cbr ones i used, although i didnt mod mine like most, mirrors are standard, modded the mounting frame instead (popcorn)
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it

Not sure why you guys had so much trouble, mine fitted in to the OEM yam mounts without any issue.  They were the longer thinner OEM mirrors, the ones withouut the rubber 'boot' at the base.  Not the stubby one that only show you your chest and shoulders!! 
Just had to pack out between the OEM mount and where the and the arm of mirror 'slots' in.  Tighten up and away you go!  No welding, chopping, cutting sticking.  Just a small touch up on the OEM Yam mount paint where i tried to move the mirror stalks after i tightened it.  School boy error (or me just being plain lazy).

these are what i used:

I bought some aftermarket mirrors that said in the description they fit the CBR, but they were not close. I had to do some heavy mods including some grinding and JB Weld to get them to work, but they still are angled up too far - especially the right one. I guess if you want something that fits well, you should go OEM.



P.S. - Dan, I think that's just water on his tire tread. I hope you are wrong about Armor All on it. :shok: I didn't see a response on this yet.
I don't get that stuff anywhere near my motorcycle tires!

I did mention it was just water on tyres and the play of the light!

I'm told I'm cynical, pessimistic and generally miserable. I say that I'm realistic! The fact that reality sucks is not my fault!

He did say it's just water and light..  So, I stand corrected, it just looked soooo shiny.

Cheers,

Guys come closer and I will let you in on the secret! In the uk the reason our water rates are soooo fookin expensive is because our h20 is extra sparkly compared to that from other parts of the world!

Pat.... Erm sorry about that it is neither water or that armour-al stuff.  I was just polishing her up and well... I.... Erm.... I.... I just got over excited. It was one of those something about Mary moments. If I had seen where it went I swear I would have cleaned it up :blush:
