vfr800fi mirrors

Just today i received a second set of new after market mirrors, to replace the condom ones a standard, WELL issue no2 wrong size holes again! flippin heck.......................what can i do? i can seem to find a set of rubber less ones that do the correct size.

one of the originals fell off going for a steady ride out:crazy: lol need to source some asap but at a reasonable price.

 

The only aftermarket 5th gen ones without the condom are the Emgo ones for the '00-'01. On ebay they will still set you back about $100 for the pair (with freight). The other option is a cheap set for a '98-'99, which will have a condom that won't fit properly (the problem that I have with my new set of cheapies).

OTOH, I've heard that someone has extended the holes of a cheap 6th gen set (using a dremel, perhaps), then re-painted it. Maybe doing this might get you on the road again.

 

PS: you can get the Emgo ones separately, so you only need to spend $50 to replace the one that fell off.

 

I don't know about UK prices, but I picked mine up for around $50 for the pair last year. They are on sale for $60 currently:

I had those for a while on my old bike. They kept folding in with wind drag, and I couldn't get them any tighter because the nut at the bottom slipped around through the hex part at the bottom. I ended up roughing the two parts up and sticking rubber between them (a real biatch of a job). They were ok then, until some d!ckhead came by one night and pushed my bike over in the driveway and the stalk broke...

 

i like the look of those style, i found some on ebay tonight thanks guys
