    I have been looking for some good mirrors to replace the stock ones. I find that when im on the highway traveling at a good rate of speed, my left mirror always collapses. I want some strong mirrors that I can still see around me without mirror extenders. I added mirror extenders to the stock ones and now they seem to far out. Im taking all suggestions. Somebody suggested the formula one mirrors, what do my fellow vfr riders think..

    my 99 does that exact thing. usually a 75 mph wind speed indicator. I wonder if the 2k or 01 would be better and fit correctly. Aftermarket mirrors never seem to have the same quality in the mirror itsalf as an OEM.

    Sounds like you need to tighten something. My left one does that a little too over time. The swivel on the base needs to be tightened.

    What I want are some of those mirrors that have the turn signals in them, like from a GSXR or something. Can I do that?
