Those are great on the firebolt and go in the same place so no need for block off plates.

I believe Fido might still have a pair of Moto Deluxe bar end mirrors that alot of ppl like.

Good Luck!

bar-end mirrors

Honestly there really isn't too many after market parts for Buells. Kinda sucks but, hey at least we have that you wont see twice on the road.
I'm ride with a few guys and we just took our mirrors off and put on a single bar-end mirror.

I put the 1125R mirrors on my Firebolt. Got rid of my front flashers... I love them, and they actually work. I can see whats behind me now.
Heres an older picture of my bike with them on.

I took mine off, stripped the rubber cover off, sanded the rusted metal arm and washers, sanded the mirror housing itself, with 800 grit, then painted both with filler primer paint, 2 coats, then 3 or 4 auto gloss black, then like 5 crystal clear enamel. Took all of 3- 4 hours. let cure for a day or 2. Then mounted em back on. I used a stainless allen head bolt to mach the rest of the bolts on the bike. and wallah! I will post a better pic soon if you want it.

What mirrors did you use? I would like to see a close up if possible?

firechickenXB9R · Feb 6, 2009

They were factory mirrors. I put the 1125R Mirrors on my R. They are ok, I dont think they are the best as I have to lean forward to see out. But i love the LED blinkers in them.

What mirrors did you sand down?

keisersozae · Feb 6, 2009

SeabeeBueller · Feb 7, 2009

Hey firechickenxb9r and zoedogg1: did you guys have to hook up resistors to your new wires from the mirrors, since they are L.E.D? thanks

I've got the pig spotter 2s. Still haven't mounted them. The best way is going to be a coustom fit by filing the foot of the mirror for a slick fit. I'll be sure to get a photo in here soon.

Grrr - How's the visibility with your mirrors?

with my stock mirrors all I can see are my arms.

Grrr · Jun 10, 2009

They are w-i-d-e angle. In either mirror I can see either side of the bike and myself. To look way down the road behind you I just push out my elbow a few inches. Any thing else that is close enought to matter is very easy to see. I have no problem identyfying my riding buddies behind me. AND NO VIBRATION, clear view all the time.

Grrr · Jun 10, 2009

Oh. In full tucked position, that's where the mirrors were ment to be!

Midnight82 · Jun 10, 2009

The look slick.

Are you going to wire up the turn signals to them?

anyone put custom mirrors on thier firebolt?
